Lecithin, also known as phosphatidylcholine, is a lipid condensed from glycerol, fatty acid (two molecules), phosphoric acid and choline through dehydration. There are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid chains in the molecule, which are non-polar hydrophobic tails; The choline phosphate part is a dipole ion, which is a polar hydrophilic head, and is known as the "third nutrient" after protein and vitamin. It is the material basis of life and the basic raw material of various membrane structures of cells. It exists in each cell and is more concentrated in the liver, brain, heart, kidney and immune system. It is synthesized by the liver in the human body. Food mainly exists in soybeans, egg yolks and sunflower seeds.
1. Eliminate free radicals and delay aging
2. Improve lipid metabolism, prevent atherosclerosis, and participate in the formation of cell membrane
3. Prevent fatty liver and protect cell membrane
4. Enhance immune function
5. Promote nerve conduction and improve brain vitality
1. In the pharmaceutical industry, egg yolk lecithin can be used to make liposomes, which can directly transport drugs to the diseased parts. Liposomes formed with a certain molar ratio, such as egg yolk lecithin and myristoyl phosphatidylglycerol, can inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Lecithin can also be used as emulsifier in fat injection and raw material for synthesizing other drugs.
2. Food industry In the food industry, egg yolk lecithin can be used as health products, emulsifiers and flavor agents. Infants need arachidonic acid and DHA very much for their development, but they lack the enzyme to synthesize arachidonic acid and can only take it from food. Because the levels of arachidonic acid and DHA in egg yolk lecithin are close to those in human milk, and the balance of fatty acids is high, the infant Chemicalbook milk powder made from egg yolk lecithin can play a good role.
3. Cosmetic industry Egg yolk lecithin is used as an emulsifier in cosmetics, which can stimulate the growth of hair and has certain curative effect on seborrheic alopecia. The purified or modified lecithin is more stable than natural lecithin in acid and alkali media, and has good dispersibility in water, which is more suitable for cosmetics.
4. Feed industry Egg yolk lecithin is widely used in feed industry with remarkable effect. Adding phospholipid in broiler feed can improve its growth condition, increase the storage of VA in liver, and promote the growth of bone. Lecithin should also be added to the feed of fish and shrimp in different growth periods.
5. Other egg yolk lecithin can also be used as fungicide for crops, preservative for fruits and flowers, ink emulsifier, petroleum products, etc.
