Soy Lecithin

Soy lecithin is the phospholipid fraction recovered from crude soybean oil (Glycine max) during degumming, a natural mixture of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidic acid together with residual soybean oil. Nustras supplies soy lecithin in fluid, de-oiled powder and granular grades as an emulsifier, wetting and dispersing agent and source of phospholipids.

It is formulated into chocolate, confectionery, margarine, bakery products, instant powders, beverage mixes and infant formula, into dietary supplements as softgels, capsules, powders and granules, into cosmetic emulsions, pharmaceutical excipients and animal feed.

The material ranges from a yellow to brown viscous liquid to a light tan powder or granules depending on grade. Acetone-insoluble matter, acid value, peroxide value and moisture are standardised to specification; identity and phospholipid profile are confirmed by thin-layer chromatography, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies soy lecithin in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, or totes for fluid grades, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Soy lecithin (E322) is an accepted food additive and supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the allergen labelling, GMO status and permitted use for their application.
