Lecithin

NON GMO SUNFLOWER LECITHIN

Sunflower lecithin is a natural fatty substance extracted from sunflower seeds which is specifically obtained from the oil extracted during the sunflower oil production process. It is a byproduct of sunflower oil processing and is rich in phospholipids similar to other sources of lecithin such as soybeans or eggs.

Sunflower lecithin is often used as an alternative to soy lecithin especially for those who are allergic to soy or prefer non-GMO alternatives. It has similar properties to soy lecithin in that it acts as an effective stabilizing emulsifying and dispersing agent. Emulsifiers like sunflower lecithin help mix and stabilize ingredients that naturally separate like oil and water. Sunflower lecithin is used in pharmaceutical food cosmetics and various other industries due to its emulsifying properties. It is a common ingredient in salad dressings and food products such as chocolate baked goods and margarine. Because it is a natural and plant-based ingredient it is often preferred in health-conscious and vegan-friendly applications.
