CAS 8002-43-5
:Lecithins
Description:
Lecithins are a group of fatty substances found in plant and animal tissues, primarily composed of phospholipids, triglycerides, and other lipids. The CAS number 8002-43-5 specifically refers to a mixture of phospholipids derived from sources such as soybeans or egg yolks. Lecithins are amphiphilic molecules, meaning they possess both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties, which makes them excellent emulsifiers. This characteristic allows lecithins to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, making them widely used in food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. They play a crucial role in cell membrane structure and function, contributing to cellular signaling and metabolism. Lecithins are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies and are valued for their nutritional benefits, including potential antioxidant properties and support for brain health. Additionally, they are often used in dietary supplements and functional foods due to their ability to enhance nutrient absorption.

CAS:Lecithin is a phospholipid normally derived from sources like soybeans, sunflower seeds, or egg yolks. Widely used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, lecithin is used as an emulsifier to ensure a uniform dispersion of the active ingredients, as a solubilizing agent to enhance the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, and as a dispersing agent in liposomes or lipid-based drug delivery systems.
