I don't know what the numbers mean, but I do know that soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier and as a thickener. Soy lecithin is sold in health and natural food stores.
It is an emulsifier and a surfactant. An emulsifier makes fat droplets small enough to mix evenly in a water-based solution. A surfactant reduces surface tension. (Lecithin do…es this in the lungs) (MORE)

Some lecithin is derived from soy bean oil, and some is derived from animal fat. A lot is derived from egg. Best to go to a vegetarian store which stocks soy lecithin.

I have seen the density of lecithin given from 1.03 to 1.08 grams per cubic centimeter. Since water is 1.0 grams per centimeter, this means that lecithin will slowly sink in w…ater. But perhaps you are interested in the volumetric equivalents. Purebulk.com sells one kilogram of lecithin powder and states that its volume is 2800 cc. This comes to 22.3 pounds per cubic foot. A more practical measure is about 3 pounds per gallon. A gallon of water weighs about 8 1/3 pounds. Purebulk.com provides a table of volumetric equivalents. One tablespoon weighs 7468 milligrams. In more familiar terms, a tablespoon weighs slightly more than 1/4 ounce of weight. You would get 61 tablespoons per pound. (MORE)
Lecithin is derived from soy and is available in capsule, liquid and granule form. Consumers should not use a synthetic form of the supplement (chlorine chloride)
