Egg Lecithin Powder (30% PC)

Nutri Partners supplies high-quality Egg Lecithin Powder wholesale, extracted from fresh egg yolks. Unlike common soy or sunflower lecithins, egg lecithin possesses a unique phospholipid profile that closely mimics the lipids found in the human body. Our product is standardized to contain minimum 30% Phosphatidylcholine (PC), making it a high-value ingredient for the pharmaceutical, infant nutrition, and nutraceutical industries, rather than just a simple food emulsifier.

Key Features

• Standardization: Guaranteed minimum 30% Phosphatidylcholine (PC) content. Total phospholipids typically >70%.
• Source: Extracted from hen egg yolks (Non-GMO source).
• Choline Source: A rich, bioavailable source of Choline, essential for liver function and brain development.
• Form: Yellow to light tan free-flowing powder.
• Clean Extraction: Processed using ethanol extraction methods to ensure purity and safety without toxic solvent residues.

Applications

Egg Lecithin is a specialty ingredient for demanding formulations:

• Infant Nutrition: The phospholipid profile of egg lecithin is very similar to breast milk. It is extensively used in infant formulas to support brain and eye development (ARA/DHA delivery).
• Brain Health & Nootropics: PC is a precursor to acetylcholine (neurotransmitter). It is often stacked with Acetyl-L-Carnitine in supplements for memory, focus, and cognitive support.
• Pharma & Liposomes: Used to create liposomes (drug delivery systems) and emulsions for parenteral nutrition due to its high compatibility with human cell membranes.
• Cosmetics: Acts as a refatting agent and skin conditioner in premium creams, helping to restore the skin barrier.

Technical Description: Egg Lecithin Powder Wholesale

When sourcing Egg Lecithin Powder wholesale, the distinction lies in the PC (Phosphatidylcholine) content.

Standard Food Grade: Often just dried egg yolk or low-grade lecithin, used for mayonnaise.
Pharma/Nutra Grade (Our Product): Purified and standardized to 30% PC. Phosphatidylcholine is the major component of biological membranes.
Egg lecithin contains virtually no linolenic acid (unlike soy), which makes it chemically more stable against oxidation. It is, however, an allergen (Egg), which must be declared on labels, but for applications like Infant Formula or advanced clinical nutrition, its nutritional benefits outweigh the allergen labeling requirements.

Packaging & Logistics

Packaging: 20 kg cartons with vacuum-sealed PE inner liners to prevent oxidation.

Storage: Critical: Store in a cool (below 10°C is ideal, max 20°C), dry, and dark place. Phospholipids are sensitive to heat and light.

Shelf Life: Typically 12-18 months when stored correctly.
