What it is
Soy lecithin is a substance made from soybeans. It is a mixture of phospholipids, which are fatty compounds. It is typically extracted from soybean oil and then purified.
Why it's used
Soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier, meaning it helps oil and water mix and stay mixed. This is useful in many processed foods like baked goods, chocolate, and margarine. It also helps improve texture and shelf life.
Health notes
In the U.S., soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a common food additive. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated soy lecithin. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. People with soy allergies should avoid it.
