Description

Asolectin CAS NO 69279-91-0 is a highly purified, standardized mixture of phospholipids, primarily phosphatidylcholine, derived from soybeans. This natural emulsifier and surfactant is critical for enhancing bioavailability and stability in complex formulations. It is an essential raw material for pharmaceutical manufacturers, nutraceutical producers, and advanced research laboratories requiring a consistent, high-quality phospholipid source.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a key component in liposomal drug delivery systems to improve the solubility and targeted release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Serves as a primary source of phosphatidylcholine in brain health, liver support, and nootropic formulations.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as a natural emollient and penetration enhancer in high-end skincare products like anti-aging creams and serums.
• Food Industry: Acts as an effective emulsifier in specific food applications requiring a clean-label, plant-based ingredient.
• Biotechnology & Research: Utilized in cell culture media, as a membrane stabilizer, and for creating model lipid membranes in biochemical studies.
• Diagnostics: Employed in the formulation of reagents and assays that require precise lipid interactions.
