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.
we tested this in school today. it is an emulsifier but it didnt work too well in our experiment, the best was egg yolk! lol but yeah it is an emulsifier. --edit-- Lecit…hin is an emulsifier.. and what is said above doesn't quite make sense, because lecithin is in egg yolk. (MORE)
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)
Yes. Lecithin is made from soy, as far as I know..
Some lecithin is derived from soy bean oil, and some is derived from animal fat.. Best to go to a natural health/ vegetaria…n store.. (MORE)
It is phosphatidyl choline.

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)
