Lecithin is a mixture of phospholipids, glycolipids, glycerides, and other minor components. It is due to its high phospholipid content that lecithin possesses speci?c functions. Phospholipids are amphiphilic, meaning they have different af?nities for oil and water. Lecithin forms stable O/W and W/O emulsions and durable dispersions in a wide range of applications. It is generally found in all living cells as a major component of the cell membrane, which regulates the nutrients entering and exiting the cell or the metabolic processes. Lecithin is a vital feature of all life; it is an essential nutritional supplement. Lecithin Production Vegetable-origin lecithin is derived during the stages of oil re?ning of soybean, sun?ower, rapeseed, or rice bran oil. Selection of Emulsi?ers How Are Emulsifiers Selected? https://giiava.com/lecithin/ 1/3

  2. 12/6/24, 11:56 AM Lecithin Powder - Giiava One method is by using HLB (Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance). Different emulsi?ers have different HLB values, and proper emulsi?ers are selected depending on the composition of the proposed emulsion. What Is HLB Value? HLB stands for Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance. A low HLB value indicates greater lipophilicity or a higher af?nity towards lipids (oil). Conversely, a high HLB value indicates a greater af?nity towards water. Emulsi?ers with high HLB values are used in O/W type of emulsions, and vice versa. Types of Emulsions Water in Oil Water in Oil e.g. Butter, Margarines, oil is in continuous form while water is dispersed in small droplets. Oil in Water Oil in Water e.g. Milk, cream (buttercream). Milk and milk fat -water is the continuous phase and fat is in suspended form. Functions of Emulsi?er Emulsi?ers are molecules with groups that exhibit solubility or af?nity towards both water and oil. For example, the fatty acid chains in lecithin have an af?nity for oil, while the phosphatide chains have an af?nity for water due to their polarity. As a result, this molecule can effectively hold together both oil and water phases. https://giiava.com/lecithin/ 2/3
