What it is
Dextrose is a simple sugar, also known as glucose, typically derived from corn. Soya lecithin is a phospholipid, a type of fat, extracted from soybeans. It is often produced by degumming soybean oil.
Why it's used
Dextrose is used as a sweetener and bulking agent. Soya lecithin acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water, and also serves as a stabilizer and thickener. They are often found together in processed foods such as baked goods, snacks, and confectionery.
Health notes
In the US, dextrose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. Soya lecithin is also FDA GRAS. Both are common food components. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Soya lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Dextrose is typically derived from corn and is not a major allergen.
