the principal phospholipid in animals; it is particularly abundant in egg yolks, and is extracted commercially from soy. It is a major constituent of cell membranes, and is commonly used as a food additive (as an emulsifier)
A specific phospholipid found in both plants and animals Soybeans and other oil bearing seeds are an excellent source of lecithin Lecithin displays excellent emulsifying, wetting, and antioxidant properties
a yellow phospholipid essential for the metabolism of fats; found in egg yolk and in many plant and animal cells; used commercially as an emulsifier
Naturally occuring phospholipid derived from soybeans Both water and oil loving, lecithin helps protect the skin and replenish the acid mantle as well as improve the skin's feel after application Back To Top
A complex, nitrogenous phosphorized substance widely distributed through the animal body, and especially conspicuous in the brain and nerve tissue, in yolk of eggs, and in the white blood corpuscles
One of the factors in egg yolk that helps to stabilize emulsions such as mayonnaise, salad dressings and Hollandaise sauce Lecithin contains a phospholipid, acetycholine, which has been demonstrated to have a profound effect on brain function
any of several phospholipids containing two fatty acids, a phosphate group, and a choline molecule
One of a group of phosphoglycerides found in various plant and animal substances, including egg yolk, nerve tissue, semen, and cell membranes
An emulsifier, or mixing agent, that helps fat and water stay together Lecithin is present in egg yolks and milk; it aids mixing in mayonnaise and ice cream
Helps to emulsify large fat particles and turn them into tiny particles; as a nutrient it can help nourish damaged cells and tissues; and also helps keep skin soft and supple
a phospholipid (phosphoglyceride) that is part of cell membranes and consists mostly of the B vitamin choline, as well as linoleic acid and inositol Although a lipid, lecithin is partially water-soluble and therefore an emulsifying agent that helps disperse fats, protecting the vital organs and arteries from fatty buildup Repairs cell membranes, aids in absorption of thiamin by the liver and Vitamin A by the intestine, promotes energy, and helps repair the liver from damage due to alcoholism Commercial lecithin is primarily derived from soybeans, but also comes from other food sources
A natural product extracted from the soy bean that is used as a thinner in chocolate During the manufacturing of chocolate, lecithin controls flow properties through the reduction of viscocity
Lecithin is derived from soya lecithin fractions Benefits: It is a blend of phospholipids that serve to form the membranes of cell walls It is high in B vitamins and is an anti-oxidant
These phosphatides are naturally occurring in oil from both plants and animals Lecithin is capable of forming colloidal solutions in water and possesses emulsifying wetting and antioxidant properties
a mixture of phospholipids that is composed of fatty acids, glycerol, phosphorus, and choline or inositol Lecithin can be manufactured in the body and a major component of all major cells in the body
Definition von lesitin im Türkisch Türkisch wörterbuch
Lesitin genel olarak glikolipidler, trigliseridler ve fosfolipidlerden oluişan bir karışımdır. Biyokimyada lesitin saf fosfatidilcolin adı verilen fosfolipid ile eş anlamlı olarak kullanılır.
