Popular questions
Are lecithins bad for you?
No—lecithins (E322) are widely used emulsifiers and are generally recognized as safe at normal food levels; sensitive individuals should note potential soy or egg origins, and very high supplemental doses may cause mild digestive upset.
What are soya lecithins?
Soya lecithin is lecithin (E322) extracted from soybeans—a mixture of phospholipids used to emulsify and stabilize foods like chocolate, margarine, and baked goods; it contains only trace soy proteins but is still labeled for allergens.
What is soya lecithins?
Soya (soy) lecithin is the soybean-derived form of lecithin (E322), a blend of phospholipids used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and release agent in many processed foods.
Ammonium phosphatides in what products?
While not E322, ammonium phosphatides (E442) are a related emulsifier commonly used in chocolate and confectionery, spreads, and some bakery coatings as an alternative to lecithin to improve flow and texture.
Compound 1 is a member of which class of lipid molecules phosphatides?
Lecithins (E322) are phosphatides—specifically glycerophospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine.
What are nads used for?
NaDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate, E487) is used in some foods as an anionic surfactant—primarily as a foaming/whipping agent, emulsifier, and wetting agent; it’s more commonly found in personal-care and cleaning products.
What do nads do?
It lowers surface tension so ingredients mix and foam more easily, helping disperse fats and improve whipping volume and texture in certain foods.
What are nads good for?
Creating and stabilizing foam, aiding emulsification, and improving wetting/dispersion of powders or oils in food formulations.
What does nads mean?
NaDS stands for sodium dodecyl sulfate (also called sodium lauryl sulfate), the food additive E487.
What is nads supplement?
There isn’t a NaDS supplement—it's not a nutrient; when present, NaDS is used as a technological food additive (surfactant), not for health benefits.
