Products Description of Lecithin CAS#8002-43-5
Industrial-grade lecithin has a purity of ≥99%. It appears as a pale yellow to brown viscous liquid or powder with a slight characteristic nutty odor.
Lecithin has a melting point of 23–26°C and decomposes when heated above 100°C. Its vapor pressure is negligible at 25°C, and its relative density is approximately 1.03 at 20°C.
Lecithin is dispersible in water and soluble in chloroform, ether, and vegetable oils, while being insoluble in acetone. It is stable under normal conditions but is incompatible with strong acids and bases.
