How to Dissolve Soy Lecithin Powder in Oil

It sounds like you're having trouble dissolving Soy Lecithin powder in your oil phase at 80°C, resulting in clumping. This can sometimes happen with powder ingredients like Soy Lecithin.

While Soy Lecithin is known for its emulsifying properties and ability to help with solubility, getting it to fully dissolve as a powder can be tricky and often depends on the specific type of Soy Lecithin and the overall composition of your formula, particularly the type and amount of oil you are using, and the concentration of the Soy Lecithin itself.

The product descriptions for Soy Lecithin products like Phosphatidylcholine 50% and Phosphatidylcholine 80% highlight their use in encapsulation and improving solubility, but they don't provide a universal method for dissolving the powder in oil.

To give you the most effective advice, it's important to understand the specifics of your formulation. As the staff mentioned, knowing the following details will be very helpful:

• Amount of oil: How much oil are you using in your formula?
• Type of oil: What specific oil(s) are you using?
• Amount of Soy Lecithin: What percentage or amount of Soy Lecithin powder are you trying to dissolve?

Generally, ensuring the oil is fully and evenly heated to the required temperature (like your 80°C) is important. Sometimes, vigorous stirring or agitation while adding the powder slowly can help prevent clumping and encourage dissolution. If simple heating and stirring aren't sufficient, other methods might be considered depending on the application, but these details are best discussed once we have more information about your specific formula.

Please provide the details about your oil phase and the amount of Soy Lecithin you are using so we can offer more tailored guidance.
