Hydroxylated Lecithin
Explained
Hydroxylated Lecithin is a modified form of lecithin in which hydroxyl groups have been added to the fatty acid chains of the phospholipids.
What does hydroxylation do?
Hydroxylation typically involves reacting lecithin with hydrogen peroxide and acetic or formic acid. This process:
- Increases the hydrophilicity (water affinity) of the lecithin.
- Improves emulsifying and dispersing properties in water-based systems.
