What it is
Soy lecithin is a fatty substance derived from soybeans. It is a mixture of phospholipids, which are naturally occurring fats. It is typically produced by extracting oil from soybeans and then separating the lecithin from the oil.
Why it's used
Soy lecithin is commonly used as an emulsifier in food products. This means it helps to blend ingredients that don't normally mix well, like oil and water. It is often found in baked goods, chocolate, and dairy products.
Health notes
Soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common ingredient, and consuming it in typical amounts is not associated with adverse health effects. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated soy lecithin. Some people may have soy allergies, but soy lecithin is highly refined and typically does not cause allergic reactions.
Allergen info
Soy lecithin is derived from soy, which is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. However, the processing of soy lecithin often removes most of the allergenic proteins.
