Soya Lecithin Liquid Food Grade
Product Description
Soya Lecithin is a natural emulsifier derived from soybeans. It is a viscous, yellowish-brown liquid that is widely used in the food industry due to its ability to blend ingredients that typically do not mix well, such as oil and water. This product is non-GMO and is extracted using a gentle process that preserves its nutritional properties. Soya Lecithin is rich in phospholipids, which are essential for maintaining cell membrane integrity and supporting overall health. It is also a source of choline, an important nutrient for brain health.

- Emulsification: Helps to stabilize mixtures of oil and water in products like salad dressings, sauces, and mayonnaise.
