Ammonium phosphatide (VEROLEC YN®, E-442)

About this product

Ammonium phosphatide is the synthetic alternative to the natural emulsifier, lecithin. There are some cases where a synthetic alternative like Lasenor’s Verolec YN® may be preferred to lecithin: Being a synthetic product, its availability is not linked to seasonal and climate conditions. The yield value remains constant when the dosage is higher than 0,3%, while it can increase if lecithin is used. Verolec YN® has a viscosity close to 500 mPa·s, lower than lecithin (12.000 mPa·s), which facilitates dosage and processing. Additionally, its viscosity is less sensitive to changes in temperature than lecithin’s. In the specific application of chocolate coatings for ice-creams, Verolec YN® makes the coating more resistant to the ice-cream’s moisture, that can migrate to the coating during the dipping process, increasing its viscosity. As Lasenor’s sunflower and rapeseed lecithins, Verolec YN® is a non-allergenic and non GMO product.
