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.
