- Lecithin is an integral part of
cell membranes, and can be totally metabolized, so it is virtually
non-toxic to humans.
- The lecithin is obtained by
degumming the extracted oil of oil seeds. The lecithin is a mixture of
various phospholipids, and the compositions depends on the origin of the
lecithin.
- Lecithin preparation from
rice bran lipids contains 20-25% phosphatidyl choline.
-
The natural emulsifier
lecithin is expensive because it is not easy to separate lecithin from
soybean oil. Now a rice bran extract is being offered as a lecithin
replacer
- Production
of food-grade lecithin requires prior removal of bran fines and waxes.
Regular water degumming may be used. Temperatures above 80 C are
required to prevent crystallization and removal of waxes with the gums
