Egg Yolk Lecithin
Egg yolk lecithin is a type of lecithin, a group of compounds primarily containing phospholipids, that is derived from eggs. Egg yolk lecithin has emulsification and lubricant properties, and is a surfactant. It can be totally integrated into the cell membrane in humans, so does not need to be metabolized and is well tolerated by humans and nontoxic when ingested; some synthetic emulsifiers can only be excreted via the kidneys.
