What it is
Soy lecithin is a fatty substance derived from soybeans. It is a byproduct of soybean oil production and is often extracted using solvents like hexane, though hexane-free methods are also available. It is commonly used as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add soy lecithin to foods to improve texture, stability, and shelf life. It helps prevent ingredients from separating, such as in salad dressings and chocolate, and can also act as a wetting agent for powders. It is frequently found in baked goods, chocolate, margarine, and processed meats.
Health notes
Soy lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common food additive with no specific upper intake limits set by regulatory bodies. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated soy lecithin, and it is permitted for use in many countries. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have sensitivities.
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.
