ANNEX I
Specifications of Phosphatidylserine from soya phospholipids
Description:
The novel food ingredient is an off-white to light yellow powder. It is also available in liquid form with a clear brown to orange colour. The liquid form contains medium chain triacylglycerides （MCT） as a carrier. It contains lower levels of Phosphatidylserine due to the fact that it includes significant amounts of oil （MCT）.
Phosphatidylserine from soya phospholipids is obtained through enzymatic transphosphatidylation of high-phosphatidylcholine soybean lecithin with the amino acid L-serine. Phosphatidylserine consists of a glycerophosphate skeleton conjugated with two fatty acids and L-serine via a phosphodiester linkage.
