De-oiled lecithin is a byproduct of lecithin extraction in which most of the oil content is removed. It is widely used as a natural emulsifier, stabilizer, and dispersing agent in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and animal feed industries. De-oiled lecithin offers advantages such as improved flowability, higher concentration of phospholipids, and longer shelf life compared to liquid lecithin.
The market is growing due to rising demand for functional foods, health supplements, and cosmetic applications, along with increasing awareness about plant-based and natural ingredients.
