Description:Soya phosphatidylcholines, also known as soy lecithin, is a phospholipid derived from soybeans and is characterized by its amphiphilic nature, which means it possesses both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties. This unique structure allows it to function effectively as an emulsifier, stabilizing mixtures of oil and water, which is particularly valuable in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. The substance is composed of glycerol, fatty acids, phosphate groups, and choline, contributing to its role in cell membrane structure and function. Soya phosphatidylcholines are recognized for their potential health benefits, including supporting cognitive function and liver health, and are often used as dietary supplements. Additionally, they are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) for consumption, making them a popular ingredient in various products. The CAS number 97281-47-5 specifically identifies this compound, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and regulatory contexts.
