Frequently Asked Questions
What is soy lecithin powder used for?
Soy lecithin (CAS 8030-76-0) is a naturally derived mixture of phospholipids from soybeans, supplied as a powder. It is used as an emulsifier to blend oil and water phases in food, feed, and cosmetic products, as a wetting and dispersing agent for powders and solids, as a release agent in baking and processing, and as a viscosity modifier in fat- and oil-based systems.
What is soy lecithin powder made from?
It is a mixture of phospholipids obtained from soybeans (CAS 8030-76-0), processed into a free-flowing powder. Because it is naturally derived, composition can vary by source lot; the Certificate of Analysis states the specifications for each shipment.
How does powdered soy lecithin differ from liquid (fluid) lecithin?
Powdered lecithin is a de-oiled, dry, free-flowing form, whereas fluid lecithin is the viscous liquid. The powder is favored where dry-blending, easier handling, or higher phospholipid concentration is needed. Specify powdered grade when requesting a quote.
What HS code applies to soy lecithin?
Soy lecithin is classified under HS heading 2923.20 (Lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids). Confirm the destination-country tariff line with your customs broker before export.
What is the cost of bulk soy lecithin powder?
Bulk pricing depends on grade, order volume, and packaging (bags or supersacks). Submit a bulk RFQ with your quantity and delivery point and we will return a current quote with Certificate of Analysis and SDS.
