Soya lecetin

Soya Lecithin is a natural phospholipid derived from non-GMO soybeans, widely used in pharmaceutical and laboratory applications for its emulsifying, stabilizing, and dispersing properties. It appears as a yellow-brown liquid or powder, depending on the form, and is highly soluble in water.

🏭⚗️ Production
Soya Lecithin is produced by extracting phospholipids from soybeans, followed by degumming and refining processes to obtain a purified product suitable for pharmaceutical and laboratory applications. The lecithin is then standardized to meet specific quality and purity standards.

🔬 Properties
Soya Lecithin is a clear to slightly brown viscous liquid or yellow-brown powder with a mild odor. It is highly soluble in water and exhibits excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and dispersing properties. The lecithin maintains its effectiveness under recommended storage conditions and is chemically stable.

🧪 Applications
In pharmaceutical formulations, Soya Lecithin is used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in intravenous fat emulsions, liposomal drug delivery systems, and topical preparations. It also serves as a dispersing agent in suspensions and as a wetting agent in tablet formulations. In laboratory settings, it is utilized in the preparation of emulsions, liposomes, and as a dispersant in various chemical reactions.

⚠️ Safety
Soya Lecithin is generally considered safe for use in pharmaceutical and laboratory applications. However, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation of dust or prolonged skin contact. Appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and goggles, should be worn during handling. The product should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from sources of heat and moisture, to maintain its stability and effectiveness.
