What it is
Soy lecithin is a fatty substance derived from soybeans. It is typically produced by extracting soybean oil and then processing it to isolate the lecithin. This process often involves degumming to remove phospholipids.
Why it's used
Soy lecithin is primarily used as an emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients smoothly. It also acts as a stabilizer and can improve texture and shelf life. It's commonly found in baked goods, chocolate, margarine, and processed snacks.
Health notes
In the U.S., soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food additive. It is widely consumed and considered safe at typical dietary levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated soy lecithin. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to soy products.
Allergen info
Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
