Soya lecithin, also known as soy lecithin, is a natural emulsifier and stabilizing agent derived from soybeans. It is a complex mixture of phospholipids, triglycerides, and other substances that are extracted from soybean oil during the refining process. Lecithin is a vital component of cell membranes and is found in various plant and animal tissues.

Properties and Application:
Soya lecithin is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its functional properties. It acts as an emulsifying agent, allowing the blending and stabilization of immiscible substances such as oil and water. This property is particularly useful in food products like chocolate, margarine, salad dressings, and baked goods, where it helps to improve texture, consistency, and shelf life.
In addition to its emulsifying properties, soya lecithin also functions as a surfactant, which means it reduces surface tension and enhances mixing capabilities. This makes it valuable in various industrial applications, including the production of paints, inks, and coatings. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a solubilizing agent for certain drugs and as a dispersant in liquid formulations.
As a natural ingredient, soya lecithin offers several nutritional benefits. It is a source of essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and contains choline, a nutrient that plays a crucial role in brain health and nerve function.
