Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylserine is a type of phospholipid naturally found in cell membranes, particularly in the brain. It is commonly used as an emulsifier in the food industry, where it helps to blend ingredients that are normally incompatible, such as oil and water. Phosphatidylserine reduces the surface tension between two immiscible substances, allowing them to mix more easily and form a stable emulsion. It is often used in products such as salad dressings, mayonnaise, and baked goods to improve their texture and consistency. In addition to its emulsifying properties, phosphatidylserine is also used as a dietary supplement due to its potential cognitive and mood-enhancing effects.
