Description

Phosphatidylcholines, Egg, Hydrogenated is a high-purity, semi-synthetic phospholipid derived from natural egg lecithin. This hydrogenated form offers superior oxidative stability compared to its non-hydrogenated counterpart, making it a critical functional ingredient for applications requiring enhanced shelf-life and chemical robustness. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced cosmetic industries seeking reliable, high-performance lipid excipients and active delivery systems.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipients: As a key component in liposomal drug delivery systems for improved bioavailability and targeted release.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Used in high-end dietary supplements for cognitive and liver health support, often in phospholipid complex forms.
• Cosmetic Actives & Carriers: Functions as a skin-identical lipid for barrier repair in anti-aging creams and as a nano-emulsifier for active ingredient delivery.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a standard or model membrane lipid in biophysical studies and cell culture applications.
• Food Technology: Employed as a specialty emulsifier and stabilizer in premium functional food products.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Utilized in the formulation of diagnostic kits and assays requiring stable lipid membranes.

Quality Control

Our Phosphatidylcholines, Egg, Hydrogenated is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for purity, fatty acid profile, and oxidative status. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing results for assay, residual solvents, heavy metals, and microbiological parameters are provided. Production can comply with cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical applications upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and hydrolysis. For long-term storage, keep frozen at -20°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
