Lecithin is a complex mixture of phospholipids derived from natural sources like soybeans or sunflower seeds via degumming and refining. Its primary constituent, phosphatidylcholine, features the molecular formula C42H80NO8P with CAS No. 8002-43-5.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent oxidation. In clinical settings, dosage must be controlled due to potential allergenic reactions in individuals sensitive to soy or egg proteins.
