Preferred Term:

lecitinas

Definition:
Mezcla compleja de fosfolípidos, glicolípidos y triglicéridos, con cantidades sustanciales de fosfatidilcolinas, fosfatidiletanolaminas y fosfatidilinositoles, a la que en ocasiones se le denomina de forma imprecisa 1,2 diacil-3-fosfocolinas. La lecitina es un componente de la membrana celular y se extrae comercialmente de la soja y la yema de huevo. Las propiedades emulsionantes y surfactantes se utilizan en la producción de aditivos alimentarios y en la formación de organogeles (geles).
