Lecithin is a naturally occurring group of phospho lipids found in every living cell. Though the name Lecithin is derived from the Greek Lethikas meaning “Yolk of an egg”, Soyabean is the commercial source of Lecithin.
A2Y AGRIPURE Soya Lecithin is obtained by dehydrating and cooling of Gums from Soyabean Oil (derived from ‘NON GMO’ soybeans). The addition of water in Crude Soya Oil Hydrates the phosphotides making them insoluble. These are dried with Soyabean Oil and fatty acids to produce good Lecithin.
