The study projects that a majority of confectionery manufacturers are replacing lecithin with ammonium
phosphatide, owing to cost-efficiency factors.
[ClickPress, Wed Apr 10 2019] A recently compiled report of Fact.MR, titled "Global Ammonium
Phosphatide Market: Forecast, Trend Analysis & Competition Tracking Global Review 2018 to 2028," provides a comprehensive analysis on development of the ammonium
phosphatide market worldwide.
[ClickPress, Fri Mar 08 2019] The global ammonium
phosphatide market was valued at US$ 38.5 million in 2018, and it is expected to envisage 5.3% y-o-y over 2018 to surpass US$ 40.5 million by the end of 2019, according to Fact.MR.
occidentalis seed oil contains
phosphatides (hydratable and nonhydratable) as one of the soluble materials, hydratable one can be removed with 2-3% hot water while the non-hydratable ones are removed with addition of phosphoric or citric acid (Lusas, 2002; Gunstone and Norris, 1983).
Also zinc is part of some enzymes structure, such as: Alkaline Phosphatase,
phosphatides lipase, Carboxypeptidase, RNA polymerase, Dehydrogenase and Aldolase (Pandy et al, 2002).
Lipids are mainly composed of 90-98% (weight) of TAGs, small amounts of mono- and diglycerides, free fatty acids (1-5%), and residual amounts of phospholipids,
phosphatides, carotenes, tocopherols, sulphur compounds, and traces of water [72].
Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is a main inhibitor of sPLA2 and serves as an integral component of alveolar surfactant consisting of 85~90%
phosphatides, 5~10% protein, and 5% sugar [9].
It also contains 95% triacylglycerols with traces of other constituents such as
phosphatides, sterols, tocopherols, and tocotrienols.
Crude oil, when extracted from vegetable, animal tissues and other sources are found to contain a number of impurities like free fatty acids,
phosphatides, metal ions, waxes, oxidation products, colour bodies, which should be removed from the oil to make it suitable for human consumption and bio-fuel production.
It is also essential component of nucleic acids,
phosphatides, phospholipids, chromosomes, coenzymes, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and adenosine tri phosphate (Ahmad and Rashid, 2003).
A focus on neurotransmitters using supplements containing S-adenosyl-methionine to increase serotonin, dopamine and
phosphatides would be one strategy that a naturopath could take (20).
