What it is

Lecithin is a type of fat, often derived from soybeans or canola seeds. It is extracted from the source material and then processed to create a concentrated form. Lecithin acts as an emulsifier, helping to mix ingredients that normally don't blend well, like oil and water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use lecithin as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and release agent. It helps create a smoother texture in products like baked goods, chocolate, and ice cream. It also prevents ingredients from separating and can make baked goods softer.

Health notes

Lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common component of cell membranes and is involved in fat metabolism. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lecithin, and it is considered safe when consumed at typical levels. Research has not shown significant adverse health effects from its consumption in foods.

Allergen info

Lecithin derived from soybeans is considered a major allergen. If derived from soy, it is important for individuals with soy allergies to avoid it. It is not derived from the other major allergens.
