Product Description

What is Soy Lecithin ?

What is soy lecithin? Lecithin is a food additive that comes from several sources - one of them being soy. It's generally used as an emulsifier, or lubricant, when added to food, but also has uses as an antioxidant and flavor protector.
When seeking to answer the question, "What is soy lecithin?" our search immediately takes us to mid-19th century France. First isolated by French chemist Theodore Gobley in 1846, lecithin is a generic term to designate a variety of naturally occurring fatty compounds found in animal and plant tissues.
Composed of choline, fatty acids, glycerol, glycolipids, phospholipids, phosphoric acid and triglycerides, lecithin was originally isolated from egg yolk. Today, it is regularly extracted from cottonseed, marine sources, milk, rapeseed, soybeans and sunflower.
It is usually used as a liquid but can also be purchased as lecithin granules.
By and large, the vast majority of lecithin use centers around its usefulness as an excellent emulsifier.
We know that oil and water don't mix, right? When the two are placed into a solution and shaken together, the oil droplets initially spread out and appear to evenly disperse, but once the shaking stops, the oil separates from the water again.
This is exactly why lecithin is so important and often used as an additive in processed foods, medicine and supplements.
When lecithin enters the equation, oil is broken down into smaller particles in a process called emulsification, making the oil droplets easier to clean or digest when eaten. Thus, lecithin helps give products a smooth, uniform appearance.
Additionally, its ability to emulsify fats makes it an ideal ingredient for nonstick cooking sprays and soaps.
 

The benefits of our Soy Lecithin
 

• Improves Cholesterol Levels

  Dietary soy lecithin supplementation is most strongly connected with decreasing hyperlipidemia and influencing lipid metabolism. It's known for its important role in processing fat and cholesterol, which is why people sometimes take soy lecithin supplements to lower cholesterol naturally.
  Research suggests that properties of lecithin have the ability to reduce the excess of LDL cholesterol and promote the synthesis of HDL in the liver.
  A 2010 study published in the journal Cholesterol evaluated total cholesterol and LDL levels after soy lecithin administration in patients with diagnosed hypercholesterolemia levels. For the study, one 500-milligram soy lecithin supplement was taken by 30 volunteers every day, and the results were quite astounding.

• May Boost Immunity

  Soy lecithin supplementation has been shown to significantly boost immune function among diabetic rats. Brazilian researchers discovered that daily supplementation with soy lecithin caused macrophage activity (white blood cells that engulf foreign debris) of diabetic rats to increase by 29 percent.
  Additionally, they discovered that lymphocyte (white blood cells that are fundamental to the immune system) numbers skyrocketed 92 percent in non-diabetic rats. This suggests that, at least in rats, soy lecithin has immunomodulatory effects.
  More research is needed to conclude the role of soy lecithin in the human immune system.

In Health and Personal care
Lecithin E322 is used in the formulation of a large number of cosmetics and personal care products. Lecithin and Hydrogenated Lecithin enhance the appearance of dry or damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness. Lecithin help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.
In Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry
Soy Lecithin E322 can be used as nutrition supplements, humectant and emulsifier in Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry feed.
