INTRODUCTION
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is one of the most important phospholipids derived from soya lecithin and represents a key structural component of cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine 90% refers to a highly purified grade where the PC content is enriched to around 90% through specialized extraction and purification steps. It is valued for its excellent emulsifying, solubilizing, membrane-protective, and nutraceutical properties. Because it is plant-derived, non-GMO options are widely available, making it suitable for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and dietary supplement applications.
MANUFACTURE
Phosphatidylcholine 90% is produced by extracting crude soya lecithin from soybean oil and subjecting it to selective solvent fractionation. The phospholipid-rich fraction is then purified through processes such as molecular distillation or chromatographic enrichment to increase PC concentration. Final polishing, drying, and deodorization yield a high-purity Phosphatidylcholine 90% suitable for nutra and pharma applications.

N,N′-Dimethylethylenediamine (DMEDA) is an organic chemical compound belonging to the diamine family. It contains two nitrogen atoms, each bearing a methyl group, connected by a two-carbon chain.
FerroQuant™ Pro is a water-soluble chromogenic reagent widely used for the spectrophotometric determination of iron. Chemically, it is a ferroin-type ligand that forms a stable, intensely colored complex with ferrous ions (Fe²⁺).
N-Vinylformamide (NVF) is a vinyl-functionalized amide and an important monomer used in the production of poly(N-vinylformamide) (PNVF). NVF is valued for its ability to undergo polymerization, producing polymers with useful water solubility, film-forming properties, and functional groups suitable for further chemical modification.
Diacetone Alcohol (DAA) is an aliphatic hydroxy ketone produced through the base-catalysed aldol addition of two acetone molecules. It contains both ketone and tertiary hydroxyl functionalities, offering excellent solvency and chemical reactivity.
As a high-boiling oxygenated solvent and valuable chemical intermediate, DAA finds broad application in paints and coatings, printing inks, adhesives, industrial cleaning, cosmetics, and textiles. It is also used as an intermediate in the production of mesityl oxide and MIBK. (4-methylpentan-2-one).
Kojic acid is a natural fungal metabolite produced through natural fermentation of carbohydrates. It works primarily as a tyrosinase inhibitor, suppressing melanin production to help reduce dark spots and even out skin tone. It also delivers antioxidant benefits, neutralizing free radicals and protecting skin cells from oxidative stress. With its naturally weak acidic profile, kojic acid is a multifunctional ingredient suited for brightening and protective skincare formulations.
(S)-Oxetan-2-yl-methanamine is a chiral oxetane-containing primary amine. The compound features a strained four-membered oxetane ring and an aminomethyl substituent, making it a valuable building block in modern medicinal chemistry. Due to its unique physicochemical properties, including increased polarity and metabolic stability compared with conventional alkyl groups, it is widely employed as an advanced pharmaceutical intermediate in drug discovery and development programs.
Guanidine carbonate is a white, crystalline, water-soluble compound with an alkaline and ionic nature. Composed of guanidinium cations and carbonate anions, it offers chemical stability, buffering capacity, and good formulation compatibility. In textile applications, it is used in formulations and fabric treatments for its thickening, softening, lubricating, anti-static, and flame-retardant properties, contributing to improved fabric finish and performance.
Tin(II) sulfide (SnS) has emerged as a safe and sustainable semiconductor owing to its non-toxicity, low cost, and natural abundance. It has attracted significant interest for solar energy conversion in thin-film photovoltaic devices because of its suitable band gap, which is approximately 1.3 eV in the orthorhombic phase and 1.5-1.7 eV in the cubic phase. In addition to photovoltaic applications, SnS is used in solid-state lubricants, near-infrared detectors, Lithium-ion batteries, and various sensing devices.
