  3. General and legal definitions What is Lecithin? Lecithin (historical) = Lipids from plant or animal origin containing phosphorus Lecithin (scientific) = Phosphatidylcholine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) Lecithin (commercial) = Mixture of polar and nonpolar lipids with minimum 60% A.I. (acetone insolubles), E-No. 322

  4. General and legal definitions E 322 - Lecithins (1) • Lecithins are mixtures or fractions of phospholipids which are obtained from animal or vegetable food stuffs by physical processes. • They also include hydrolized substances which are obtained by the use of harmless and suitable enzymes. The finished product is not allowed to show any residual enzyme activity. • Lecithin may be bleached in an aqueous medium by hydrogen peroxide, but this may not affect the phospholipids of lecithin chemically.

  5. Acetone insoluble substances min. 60% min. 56% Acid Value (potassium hydroxide/g) < 35mg < 45mg Toluene insoluble substances Volatile Substances (after 1h drying at 105°C) Peroxide Value (mequ/kg) Consistency Colour General and legal definitions E 322 - Lecithins (2) Content / Appearence Lecithin Hydrolized Lecithin < 0.3% < 2% 10 or less highly viscous, semiliquid or powder light brown to brown

  11. Phospholipid sources • That means:Phospholipids are part of all living organisms and can be obtained from these (plants, animals, micro-organisms) • Commercial sources:oil seeds (soybeans, sunflower, rapeseed)egg yolk Phospholipids are essential components of all cell membranes

  15. Production process Standardization • Principle: • adjusting of product parameters (e.g. microbiology, viscosity, E 322) • purifying (filtration) • selecting • blending • Advantages: • reproducible product quality • improved transparency • constant behaviour in final application

  16. Production process Ethanol extraction • Principle: • difference in solubility of the phospholipids in ethanolPC soluble PI insoluble PE partly soluble PA insoluble • PC enriched and PC depleted fractions are produced • Advantages: • less flavour effect by PC-enriched fraction as lower dosage can be used compared to standard lecithin • clear solubility in oil • improved functionality in various applications when used at same dose as standard lecithin

  17. Production process Modification - Hydrolysation • Advantages: • increased water dispersibility • less amount necessary to reduce surface tension • better o/w emulsion formation properties • complex formation with starch  anti staling agent (dough) Principle: Enzymatic Hydrolysis

  19. Production process Acetone extraction - deoiling • Principle: • non polar lipids (triglycerides) are acetone soluble • thus a separation from polar lipids (phospho- andglycolipids) is possible resulting in powderedconsistency • Advantages: • increased water dispersibilitycompared to liquid lecithin • less influence on taste and colour • easier dosing • increased amount of activesubstances i.e. less lecithinaddition necessary
