About Lecithin
Lecithin is a phospholipid extracted primarily from soybeans, sunflower seeds, or egg yolks, functioning as an emulsifier and anti-caking agent across food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. International trade distinguishes between fluid lecithin, deoiled powder, and granules, each with specific viscosity and purity specifications. Argentina, China, and the European Union dominate production and exports, with soybean lecithin comprising approximately 95% of global supply. Buyers should verify acid value and residual solvent content, as these parameters directly impact shelf stability and regulatory compliance in end-use applications; lecithin sourced from non-GMO versus conventional soybeans commands significant price differentiation.
