Description
PHOSPHOLIPID INGREDIENT
Egg Yolk Lecithin Powder PC20
Egg yolk lecithin powder is supplied standardised to a declared phosphatidylcholine content of 20.0%. Egg-derived lecithin differs from soy lecithin in its fatty-acid profile and its minor phospholipids, which matters in some formulation work, and it carries an egg allergen declaration. The purchasing definition is the phosphatidylcholine figure together with the declared origin. It is an ingredient for further processing and is not a finished consumer product.

Buyer Decision Guide
Agree the phosphatidylcholine figure, the analytical method and the origin before approval. Confirm the egg allergen declaration for the buyer’s label, and confirm the dispersibility of the powder in the intended carrier.
- Phosphatidylcholine: 20.0%, released against the batch COA.
- Allergen declaration for egg origin stated on the specification.
- Remaining phospholipid fractions reported per batch.
- Dispersibility confirmed against the buyer’s process.
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment.
- Regulatory status, permitted uses and labelling are the buyer’s responsibility for the destination market.
How This Grade Differs
Egg yolk lecithin and soy lecithin are offered at comparable phosphatidylcholine figures but are not interchangeable: they differ in fatty-acid profile, in minor phospholipids and in allergen declaration. Compare quotations on the declared figure, the origin and the method, not on the percentage alone.
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.
