Liquid lecithin is typically used at low inclusion levels and is not a significant source of macronutrients in finished products.
Liquid lecithin is a viscous, food-grade ingredient derived from vegetable oils such as sunflower, soy, or rapeseed through water degumming. Rich in naturally occurring phospholipids, it functions primarily as an emulsifier and processing aid, helping stabilise oil and water systems, improve texture, and enhance flow in a wide range of food and beverage applications.
