Lecithin is the collective name for a group of lipids (fatty compounds) that occur naturally in foods such as eggs, fish, milk and soybeans. 1 The food industry also uses lecithin as an emulsifier—an ingredient that helps prevent substances from separating. 2
In addition to getting lecithin through their diet, some people take lecithin supplements. Research suggests that supplementing...
Lecithin is a fat that occurs naturally in many foods and is essential for human health. Some manufacturers add it to foods to improve taste or texture. You can also take it as a supplement or to moisturize your skin. Lecithin is also known as soybean lecithin, egg lecithin and sunflower lecithin etc.
what is lecithin Lecithin is also used to treat memory impairment and gallbladder disease, but...
Experimental MaterialsAnalysis of foods containing large amounts of lecithin (e.g. eggs, egg liquid, milk powder, soybeans, mayonnaise) without pretreatment. Determine the dry weight of each sample.Extract foods containing small amounts of lecithin (e.g. noodles, ice cream, cakes, pastries) with ether in a Soxhlet extractor. All lecithin was extracted into the ether layer. Analyze this.The...
Epichlorohydrin (ECH) is one of the more commercially important aliphatic epoxides, widely used as epichlorohydrin industrial intermediates, laboratory reagents, and pesticides. It is a volatile, colorless liquid with a faint odour. It acts as an alkylating agent. It has been reported to cause respiratory and dermal toxicity in animals and humans. It has been reported to be carcinogenic in...
After ingestion or inhalation, epichlorohydrin is rapidly absorbed into the body through the skin. Epichlorohydrin itself is a reactive epoxide that is metabolized by conjugation to glutathione and hydration by epoxide hydrolases. The same hemoglobin adducts have been detected in epichlorohydrin humans and rats. Epichlorohydrin is widely distributed throughout the body. In rodents, the highest...
useEpichlorohydrin (106-89-8) is a chlorinated epoxy compound mainly used in the manufacture of glycerin and epoxy resins. It is also used in epichlorohydrin the manufacture of elastomers, glycidyl ethers, cross-linked food starches, surfactants, plasticizers, dyes, pharmaceutical products, oil emulsifiers, lubricants, adhesives, etc.; as resins, gums, cellulose, Solvent for esters, paints and...
Excipients are major components of oral solid dosage forms, and variations in their critical material properties (excipient variability) and/or amounts (excipient variability) in pharmaceutical formulations can present challenges to product performance. An understanding of biopharmaceutical factors that affect excipient performance is recommended to successfully implement a Quality by Design...
backgroundLittle is known about the role of specific saturated fatty acids in the development of high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. Here, we investigated the effects of stearate in a high-fat diet (45% energy as fat) on whole-body energy metabolism and tissue-specific insulin sensitivity stearate
methodC57Bl/6 mice were fed either a palm oil-based low-stearate diet or one of...
Stearic acid is a saturated monobasic acid stearate with a chain length of 18 carbons. It is synthesized by hydrolysis of animal fats or hydrogenation of cottonseed or vegetable oils. Commercial stearic acid is a mixture of stearic acid with palmitic and myristic acids. Depending on the ratio of stearic acid to palmitic acid, it can vary in structure from macrocrystalline (45:55 w/w) to...
Dietary Sources of Vitamin Aanimal sourcePreformed vitamin A (mainly retinyl palmitate and small amounts of other retinyl esters including stearate, myristate, and oleate) and very small amounts of provitamin A procarotenoids are obtained from animal sources of. Particularly rich sources of preformed vitamin A include liver, whole milk, egg yolks and fish.plant sourceDietary vitamin A is also...
