The commercial Lecithin types and production in China

Soy Lecithin as the most important resource of phosphatidylcholine (PC),it is commercially produced in large quantity to used in food industry,feed industry, chemicals,and pharmaceuticals,it is classified according to the production control system and the raw materials:

1.  crude soy lecithin oil, this product directly extract from the soy bean oil and meat mill from the end of the processing, it is dark brown thick paste or fluid, the viscosity is over 10000 Cps, it is not easily direct usage in chemicals and feed industry, need to process it again for different application. In China, over 80% of the crude soy lecithin oil is GMO since the major soy bean mills import soy bean from US, Brazil.

2. Modified soy lecithin oil. this type of soy lecithin oil is processed by use of Organic Reactions to change the molecular structure of a phospholipid to improve or enhance the functional properties of a phospholipid. Chemically modified soy lecithin has good hydrophilic properties in the feed additive, the liquid feed preparation and chemicals industry.
3.  De oil soy lecithin. To remove the oil from the crude soy lecithin oil, people can get the more concentrated phospholipid, basically 95%-98% (acetone insoluble), it can be made properly in powder form or granular form according to the usages.
   according to the raw materials used (soy lecithin liquid), soy lecithin solid (de-oil soy lecithin) have the following three types:
   
   1) Soy Lecithin Solid (Powder/granular) GMO, the raw material is from the GMO soy beans, in China, the production quantity is over 5000MT per year, the powdered soy lecithin widely used in feed and food where GMO acceptable.

   2) Soy Lecithin Solid (Powder/granular) Non-GMO. this product is from the non-GMO soy beans. the soy beans in China, normally from the local planting farm, and the area where non-GMO protection area, this type of soy lecithin powder or granular used in non-GMO food production, the color is light yellow color.
   P.S: The specification reference from the producer here
   
   3) De-oil,De-color soy lecithin solid(powder/granular form). for some food processing, color is important for the finished product, to de- color soy lecithin oil is necessary during the preparation, after de-color it, the finished product is slight yellow and more bright.
4. Phosphatidylcholine(PC), according to the further extracting and processing, people can get more concentrated phosphatidylcholine,70%,80%, to meet the requirement from the sector of Cosmetics; Personal care; Nutritional supplements ;Health products; pharmaceuticals.P.S: The specification reference from the PC producer here

Soy Lecithin Powder/Soya Lecithin liquid

Soy Lecithin Soy Lecithin basic introduction: CAS NO: 8002-43-5 EINECS No:232-307-2 H.S Code:29232000 Brand Name: LeciPRO Soy lecithin is extracted from soybeans and contain three main phospholipids: -phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and Inositol phosphatides (PI), -glycolipids, neutral lipids and sugars. the soy lecithin is well known by its Properties: emulsification and lubricant,widely used in the human food manufacture, animal feed manufacture, pharmaceuticals, paints, and other industrial applications, our soy lecithin is from the source of soybean oil. Soy Lecithin specifications 1) Soy Lecithin Powder/Granular, Non-GMO, Food Grade.  Brand Name: LeciPRO980, used in manufacturing non-GMO food. 2) Soy Lecithin Powder/Granular, GMO, Food Grade  Brand name: LeciPRO950, used in GMO acceptable food. 3) Soy Lecithin Liquid, GMO, Feed Grade/industrial Grade Brand name: LeciPRO600, used in feed and industrial purpose 4) Soy Phosphatidylcholines(PC), Non-GMO, Pharm GradeBrand Name:LeciPROPC, Non-GMO, Pharmacutical Grade Soy Lecithin applications: Used in baked foods: Soya Lecithin can increase the toughness of the dough, its hydrophilic properties make the dough in the flour to increase viscosity;It can also improve the chemical fermentation processing products texture, and ultimately improve the product symmetry, size, particle, surface appearance and texture;it can protect the yeast in the frozen dough,increasing the volume,in favor of dough extruded, prolonged processability period.Soy lecithin dosage: 0.25% to 1% powder base.Soy lecithin can also prevent evaporation of moisture from baked food,during storage.Increase shelf life and softness.it can increase food lubricity during the processing baked foods,significantly reduce the times to clean the processing machines cutters.In fried foods,to prevent oxidation of Vitamin A and Vitamin E.Increase lubrication in low-fat foods. Dosage: 2% to 3% oil baseused in powder beverages:The beverage powder rapidly dissolves in cold water, milk or other aqueous solution is very important. Typically, the protein powder, cocoa, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other substances made difficult to disperse in an aqueous solution, also the higher fat content powder is hard to dispersed in the water too, using the soy lecithin can increse the disperse ability: usually in an amount of 1.0 to 5.0% (by weight).
