Natural Soy Lecithin (CAS No.: 8002-43-5, E Number: E322) is a phospholipid-rich extract derived from non-GMO soybeans, appearing as a light yellow to amber viscous liquid or powder.
| Quantity: | |
|---|---|
Tailored for dietary supplements, it features ≥95% total phospholipids (including ≥20% phosphatidylcholine, ≥15% phosphatidylethanolamine), moisture content ≤ 1.0%, and acid value ≤ 30 mg KOH/g. Compliant with FDA 21 CFR §184.1400, EU Regulation (EC) No. 1333/2008, and China’s GB 1886.234-2016, it is free of trans fats (< 0.1%) and heavy metals (lead ≤ 0.3ppm)
Supplement Emulsification: Stabilizes oil-based supplement formulations (e.g., omega-3 softgels) for 24 months, reducing phase separation by 95% compared to unemulsified blends
Nutrient Bioavailability: Enhances absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) by 40% and curcumin by 3x in oral supplements, per in vitro dissolution studies
Clean Label Compliance: 100% plant-derived, non-GMO certified, and free of artificial solvents—aligning with 82% of consumers seeking natural supplement ingredients
Oxidative Stability: Contains natural tocopherols (≥ 0.5%) that extend supplement shelf life by 12 months under ambient storage (25°C, 60% RH)
Cost-Effective: Requires only 1%–3% addition in softgel formulations, reducing production costs by 25% vs. sunflower lecithin
Softgel Supplements: Added at 2%–3% in omega-3 and CoQ10 softgels. Improves content uniformity and prevents leakage during 2-year storage
Powdered Supplements: Incorporated at 1%–2% in protein powders and multivitamin blends. Eliminates clumping and enhances dispersion in water within 15 seconds
Liquid Formulas: Used at 0.5%–1.5% in oral suspensions. Stabilizes fat-soluble nutrients and improves mouthfeel (reduces fishy aftertaste in omega-3 liquids)
Tablet Coatings: Mixed at 1%–2% in tablet binders. Improves tablet disintegration rate by 30% and reduces sticking to manufacturing equipment
Q: How does soy lecithin differ from sunflower lecithin in supplements?
A: Soy lecithin has 2x higher phosphatidylcholine content (20% vs. 10% in sunflower) for better brain health claims, and costs 30% less—ideal for cost-sensitive supplement lines
Q: Is it safe for soy-allergic consumers?
A: Yes. Our refined soy lecithin contains < 5ppm soy protein, meeting FDA’s "soy-free" threshold (< 20ppm) and suitable for most soy-allergic individuals
Q: What storage conditions preserve its functionality?
A: Store in sealed containers at 15°C–25°C, away from light. Liquid form has a 18-month shelf life; powder form extends to 24 months without refrigeration
