Phospholipids in the food industry

• 

Phospholipids are among the most effective natural emulsifiers in the food industry, capable of reducing surface tension between oil and water phases, preventing phase separation, and maintaining emulsion stability. This makes them indispensable in emulsion-based foods:
Dairy Products: Used in milk beverages (e.g., plant-based milk, flavored milk), ice cream, yogurt, and cheese. For example, in plant-based milk (soy milk, almond milk), phospholipids (e.g., soy lecithin) emulsify oil-soluble components (lipids, vitamins) with water, preventing creaming and sedimentation, and improving mouthfeel. In ice cream, they inhibit fat crystallization, reduce ice crystal formation, and enhance smoothness and melt resistance.
Bakery Products: Added to bread, cakes, pastries, and biscuits. Phospholipids emulsify fats and water in dough, improving gluten network formation, enhancing dough elasticity and gas retention, and resulting in softer, more voluminous bread with a longer shelf life. In cakes, they prevent staling by inhibiting starch retrogradation and maintain moisture, while in biscuits, they improve crispness and reduce oil absorption during baking.
Confectionery: Used in chocolates, candies, and spreads (e.g., peanut butter, chocolate spreads). In chocolate, phospholipids (primarily soy lecithin) reduce viscosity, improve flowability during processing (tempering), and prevent fat blooming (surface whitening caused by fat crystallization). In spreads, they stabilize oil-water emulsions, preventing separation and ensuring a uniform texture.
Processed Meats: Applied in sausages, ham, and meat emulsions. Phospholipids emulsify fat and water in meat batters, improving binding between meat particles, reducing fat loss during cooking, and enhancing product juiciness and tenderness. They also stabilize color and prevent oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids.
