What it is

Soy lecithin is a mixture of phospholipids derived from soybean oil. It is produced by extracting soybean oil and then separating the lecithin component through a degumming process. It appears as a viscous liquid or a powder.

Why it's used

Soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that normally don't mix, like oil and water. It also acts as a stabilizer and preservative in many foods, preventing separation and improving texture. It is commonly found in chocolate, baked goods, margarine, and processed snacks.

Health notes

Soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common food additive and is present in many processed foods. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated soy lecithin. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to soy.

Allergen info

Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
