Quality Control

Our Soya Lecithin is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food, nutritional, and pharmaceutical applications. We adhere to relevant specifications including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and can provide material compliant with GMP guidelines. Every batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, composition, and safety parameters, ensuring traceability and consistency for our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage under inert atmosphere (nitrogen) is recommended to minimize oxidation.
