Previously, we’ve seen how lysolecithin is produced – through the process of hydrolysis of lecithin. This is a vital step as lysolecithin becomes a more effective emulsifier compared to lecithin for lipids, oils and fats for better absorption in the animal gut.

Why does lysolecithin emulsify fats better?

Lysolecithin is able to make the fat mix with water in the intestines into smaller globules compared to lecithin. The smaller globules present more surface area for enzymes like lipase to digest the fat.

At GN Good Nutrition, we constantly strive to add value to feedmills and farmers. One such product we produce is lysolecithin powder. Lysolecithin powder is an important solution to manage price inflation of fats and lecithin.

So what is lysolecithin?

Lysolecithin are produced from raw material of lecithin. Lecithin is hydrolysed to remove one fatty acid to produce Lysolecithin. This is an enzymatic process.
