‌Dairy & Alternatives‌

• Homogenizes plant-based milks (D[3,2] droplet size <1 μm)
• Enhances meltability in vegan cheeses (45% fat mimetic performance)
• Stabilizes whipped cream overrun at 120% (15°C, 24h)

‌Meat & Plant-Based Proteins‌

• Improves fat binding in sausages (cook loss <8%)
• Enhances juiciness in low-fat meat analogs (NMR T₂ relaxation time +20%)
• Reduces syneresis in hybrid meat products during freezing

‌Convenience Foods‌

• Stabilizes instant soup powders (rehydration time <45s)
• Prevents oil separation in powdered drink mixes (30% fat content)
• Enhances flowability of seasoning blends (angle of repose <35°)

‌Pharmaceutical & Nutraceuticals‌

• Encapsulates omega-3 oils (oxidative stability index >20h at 60°C)
• Forms liposomes for targeted nutrient delivery (encapsulation efficiency >85%)
• Improves tablet disintegration time (<5 mins USP standard)

‌Regulatory & Quality Compliance‌

• FDA GRAS, EU Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008
• FSSC 22000 & ISO 9001 certified production
• Non-GMO Project Verified (Certificate ID: 12345)

• Supports sustainable soybean farming (RTRS-certified sourcing)
• Zero solvent residues (hexane-free extraction process)

‌Formulation Guidelines‌

‌Standard Emulsification Protocol‌

1. Disperse 0.3–1.0% lecithin in warm water/oil phase (40–50°C)
2. Homogenize at 15–20 MPa for O/W emulsions
3. Adjust pH as needed (optimal range 4.5–7.0)

‌Synergistic Systems‌

• Chocolate: 0.5% lecithin + 0.2% PGPR
• Plant-based milk: 0.3% lecithin + 0.1% gellan gum
• Low-fat margarine: 0.8% lecithin + 0.4% monoacylglycerols

‌Packaging & Storage‌

Supplied in 20 kg multi-layer aluminum-lined bags (oxygen transmission rate <0.5 cc/m²/day). Store in dry, cool conditions (15–25°C, RH <60%); 18-month shelf life from production date.
