The phospholipids contained in lecithin include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidic acid.<\/p>\n

Lecithin is produced from a fraction of crude oil, called \u201cgums\u201d (phospholipids) and isolated during the degumming stage. These gums are then dried to obtain lecithin.<\/p>\n

The lecithins produced by Saipol are amber-brown viscous fluids.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_single_image image=”818″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row el_class=”l-wrapper”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What are the uses of lecithin?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”h3-like”][vc_column_text]Sunflower lecithin<\/strong> is marketed to food manufacturers (chocolate, margarine, biscuits and pastries, confectionery, baby food, animal feed), nutritionists and cosmetics manufacturers, as well as to intermediaries specialising in the processing of lecithin.<\/p>\n

Lecithin has multiple technological properties and various forms of presentation (liquid, powder) adapted to all types of formulations.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the phospholipids it contains, lecithin also has nutritional properties.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”image-text-1-column m–gray”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”819″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”l-wrapper”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Properties for food products:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”h3-like”][vc_column_text]Improved texture of spreads, antioxidant effect, improved fat distribution in leavened doughs, improved stability of fermentations, reduced viscosity of chocolate, non-sticky effect of toppings, avoids crystallisation of sugar,and more.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
