Non food applications of lecithins
_____

This experience is at your service for supporting and recommending the most suitable lecithins in your specific applications. We are able to select the optimal product for your particular needs, providing you with a complete service and targeted technical - commercial advice.
Soy lecithin is widely used in non-food applications like cosmetic, pharmaceutical, health and nutraceutical, chemical, technical, feed and aquaculture sectors.
The main properties that make this additive so suitable for multiple and diversified uses are: emulsifying capacity (mixing of substances that usually cannot be mixed), surface-active capacity (solubility in liquids), stabilizing - dispersing, anti-crystallizing and anti-oxidant properties (better and longer shelf life of the products) and the release capacity. Finally the natural origin of the product, which can be safely used with no restrictions.
For 20 years now, Linfa has specialized in the production and marketing of soy lecithins for various industrial applications. We offer a complete service, ensuring the customer a targeted technical / commercial support at every stage and high quality products, with all the related quality documents.

Production and distribution of lecithins for non-food applications
___
Lecithin is used in a large number and variety of non food applications, often very different from each other. Here there are only some examples, inviting you to contact us for any further information or doubts:
1. The addition of lecithin in the production of coatings facilitates the homogeneous distribution of pigments, increasing the quality of the final product both in terms of yield and resistance to atmospheric agents.
2. In the leather tanning industry, it is added to fat liquers to improve the softness, the water impermeability and shine of the leather. In the textile industry it is used to improve quality during dyeing, to disperse pigments and improve softness of the textiles.
3. In the technical sector, lecithin is perfect for bio-remediation of contaminated soil from pollutants, to control the spread of dust on construction sites, to improve the effectiveness/absorbtion of fertilisers and pesticides in bio-agriculture, as a de-moulding agent in the processing of plastics, but also to avoid the adhesion of the tar to the walls of the tankers...
4. In feed and aquaculture sector (feeding of cattle, piglets, poultry and fish, trouts and salmon especially), the addition of lecithin guarantees many nutritional benefits and greater animal health. It also improves the extrusion of feed in pellets.
5. In pharmaceutical applications, the humectant and stabilising properties of lecithin allow a better emulsification of the ingredients. It is used as nutraceutical in capsules and as precursors for more complex molecules and drugs, with active functions in nervous system.

6. If regularly used as food supplements, thanks to omega 3-6 and choline content, it has beneficial effects on health: improvement of memory and concentration abilities, contrast of hypercholesterolemia, cleaning of the arteries from fat deposits.
7. In cosmetics it is a natural, hypoallergenic, stabilizing and emulsifying product perfect for moisturizing creams, lotions, shampoos, etc.
