Gums, extracted during the degumming process, are dehydrated at controlled conditions, to obtain crude Soya Lecithin. This crude Soya Lecithin is further refined and standardized in different grades, to serve as a raw material in different applications. Soya Lecithin has a characteristic golden yellow colour, it is viscous in nature and has a characteristic soybean odour.
Soya Lecithin is a multitalented and a very versatile product and it acts as an emulsifier, dispersant, stabilizer, wetting agent, antioxidant, binding agent, stabilizer, viscosity reducer, anti-spattering agent, release agent, etc. in a variety of applications.
Soya Lecithin Standard is used in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and healthcare applications.
