What Are Phospholipids and Why Are They Important?
Phospholipids are essential components of biological membranes and occur naturally in many foods – such as lecithins, dairy products, eggs, fish, oils (e.g., krill oil or algae oil), and plant-based emulsifiers. They are both functionally and nutritionally significant – and therefore of high relevance in food analysis.
