What it is
Soy lecithin is a fat-like substance made from soybeans. It is a mixture of phospholipids, which are compounds that are part of cell membranes. It is typically produced by extracting soybean oil and then processing it to isolate the lecithin.
Why it's used
Soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier, which helps to mix ingredients that normally don't blend well, like oil and water. This makes it useful in a variety of foods, including baked goods, chocolate, ice cream, and salad dressings, to improve texture and shelf life.
Health notes
In the U.S., soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is commonly consumed in foods and is not associated with adverse health effects at typical intake levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated soy lecithin. While some people may have sensitivities, it is not considered a major health concern for the general population.
Allergen info
Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. People with soy allergies should avoid products containing soy lecithin.
