Liquid Lecithin
Lecithin is a naturally occurring compound found in nature, both plant and animal, and is mostly a mixture of glycolipids, triglycerides and phospholipids (e.g. phosphatidycholine). CCI has an exclusive technical collaboration in the area of Phospholipids which provides us with detailed design and process expertise in the areas of De-oiled Lecithin and Lecithin Powder.
Crude water degummed Soya gums are the ideal feedstock for edible grade Lecithin. The crude gums are homogenized and pre-heated to 55–60ºC and dehydrated in a short contact Wiped Film Turbo Drier under vacuum. The product is then cooled and bleached to meet the end user’s requirements.
