Soybean-sourced Phosphatidylserine

Derived from soybeans, a globally important crop with high yield and wide distribution, soybean phosphatidylserine is obtained through further separation and purification of phosphatidylserine-containing by-products generated during soybean processing. Besides the target component, it contains other phospholipid substances, with phosphatidylserine content generally ranging from 20% to 40%—a level slightly higher than that of sunflower seed-sourced products in most cases, though not absolute, as it varies with soybean varieties and processing technologies. Its molecular structure features a unique fatty acid composition, rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic acid, which enables interactions with other lipids and proteins in cell membranes.


Sunflower Seed-sourced Phosphatidylserine

Extracted from sunflower seeds, a widely cultivated oil crop worldwide with significant value in phosphatidylserine extraction besides oil production, this variant is prepared from high-quality, mildew-free sunflower seeds via a series of processes including cleaning, crushing and extraction. It comprises multiple phospholipid components such as phosphatidylethanolamine alongside phosphatidylserine, with the latter accounting for 10% to 30% of the total content—subject to variations from sunflower seed varieties, planting environments and extraction techniques. Physically, it boasts excellent fluidity and solubility, along with good emulsifying properties, attributed to its molecular structure rich in unsaturated fatty acids like linoleic acid.

Application:

1. Healthcare Products

With the growing demand for nutritional supplements to support daily physiological balance, phosphatidylserine, as a natural phospholipid component, is widely incorporated into healthcare product formulations for its compatibility with human physiological processes. It serves as a supplementary nutritional ingredient to meet the body's demand for phospholipids.

   • Bulk powder: Suitable for large-scale production of healthcare supplements, easily mixed with other raw materials such as vitamins and minerals;
   • Granules: Convenient for direct preparation or capsule packaging, facilitating portability and dosage control for end users;
   • Microcapsule powder: Enhanced water solubility and stability, adaptable to various formulation types including effervescent tablets and oral solutions;
   • Sodium salt powder: Particularly suited for water-soluble healthcare beverages, ensuring uniform dispersion without precipitation.


2. Food Industry

As consumers pursue healthier food options, adding natural nutritional components has become a key trend in food processing. Phosphatidylserine, with its good compatibility and nutritional value, is used as a nutritional enhancer to enrich the nutritional composition of common foods.

• Bakery products (bread, biscuits): Mixed into dough during processing to improve product texture while supplementing phospholipid nutrition;
   • Beverages (fruit juices, functional drinks): Utilized in liquid or soluble powder form to enhance nutritional diversity without affecting product flavor;
   • Dairy products: Added to milk, yogurt and other products to complement natural phospholipids, improving product nutritional grading.


3. Cosmetic Industry

Modern cosmetics focus on both efficacy and mildness, with natural ingredients capable of improving skin condition gaining increasing attention. Phosphatidylserine’s emulsifying properties and compatibility with skin make it a suitable additive for cosmetic formulations.

• Creams and lotions: Acts as an emulsifier to improve product texture, enhancing skin absorption of other active ingredients;
   • Moisturizing products: Forms a protective film on the skin surface, helping maintain skin moisture and improve dryness.


4. Infant Nutrition

Infant nutrition requires strict compliance with safety and nutritional balance standards, with phospholipids being an essential component for normal growth and development. Phosphatidylserine, when meeting relevant safety thresholds, is used as a supplementary nutritional ingredient in infant formula.

   • Infant formula milk powder: Added in appropriate proportions to complement phospholipid nutrition, compatible with other nutritional components in the formula;
   • Infant nutritional supplements: Prepared into soluble powders or microcapsules for easy mixing with milk or complementary foods, ensuring convenient intake.



5. Pharmaceutical Auxiliaries 

Pharmaceutical formulations require auxiliaries with good compatibility, stability and safety to improve the performance of main drugs. Phosphatidylserine, with its unique structural characteristics, serves as an auxiliary ingredient in certain pharmaceutical products.

   • Oral preparations: Used as a solubilizer or stabilizer to improve the solubility and stability of drug components;
   • Topical preparations: Assists in the absorption of active pharmaceutical ingredients through the skin, enhancing formulation efficacy.


Q&A:

Q1: What are the key differences between soybean-sourced and sunflower seed-sourced phosphatidylserine in raw material and basic properties?

A1: Raw material-wise, the former is derived from soybean processing by-products, while the latter comes from directly extracted high-quality sunflower seeds. In terms of properties, soybean-sourced products have a higher phosphatidylserine content (20%-40%) and are rich in linolenic acid, while sunflower seed-sourced ones have a lower content (10%-30%), more linoleic acid, better fluidity and emulsifying properties.


Q2: What factors affect the phosphatidylserine content in both products?

A2: The content is mainly influenced by raw material varieties, planting or growing environments, and extraction or processing technologies. For soybean-sourced products, soybean variety and processing techniques are the primary factors; for sunflower seed-sourced ones, sunflower seed quality and extraction process parameters play a key role.


Q3: How to choose between soybean-sourced and sunflower seed-sourced phosphatidylserine for different applications?

A3: Soybean-sourced products, with higher phosphatidylserine content and lower cost, are suitable for large-scale healthcare products and general food additives. Sunflower seed-sourced products, featuring better fluidity, emulsifying properties and lower allergenic risk, are preferred for cosmetics, infant nutrition and water-soluble formulations.


Q4: What safety considerations should be noted when using both phosphatidylserine products?

A4: Soybean-sourced phosphatidylserine may cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to soy, requiring avoidance in such cases. Sunflower seed-sourced ones have extremely low allergenic risk, only needing caution for those allergic to sunflower seeds. Both comply with relevant safety standards when used within recommended proportions.


Q5: What forms of phosphatidylserine does GEMSEN provide, and how to select the appropriate form?

A5: GEMSEN offers multiple forms including bulk powder, bulk liquid, granules, microcapsule powder and sodium salt powder. Bulk powder and granules are suitable for healthcare products and capsule packaging; bulk liquid fits functional beverages and dairy products; microcapsule powder is ideal for formulations requiring good water solubility; sodium salt powder is suitable for water-soluble beverages and pharmaceutical auxiliaries.


Q6: Can both phosphatidylserine products be used in infant formula?

A6: Both can be used in infant formula when meeting strict safety and dosage standards. Sunflower seed-sourced products are more commonly preferred due to their lower allergenic risk, while soybean-sourced ones need strict control of soy protein residues to avoid allergic risks.
