Description

Egg Phospholipids are a complex mixture of phospholipids, predominantly phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol, derived from egg yolk. This natural, high-purity lipid fraction serves as a critical functional ingredient and excipient, prized for its excellent emulsifying properties and biocompatibility. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced food technology sectors seeking natural, effective lipid-based delivery systems and stabilizers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: As a key component in liposomal drug delivery systems for improved bioavailability and targeted release of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used in the formulation of high-quality phospholipid supplements for liver health and cognitive support.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a natural emollient and emulsifier in premium skincare products, creams, and lotions for enhanced skin barrier function.
• Food Technology: Employed as a natural emulsifier and stabilizer in products like mayonnaise, dressings, and other fat-based food systems.
• Cell Culture & Biotechnology: Used in media formulations and as a component in lipid nanoparticles for genetic material delivery.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or raw material in biochemical research and the development of novel lipid-based formulations.

Quality Control

Our Egg Phospholipids are produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications for phospholipid content, fatty acid profile, and purity are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to minimize oxidation and hydrolysis. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, heat, or light should be avoided.
