Description

Sunflower lecithin is a phospholipid contained in sunflower seeds. This fatty substance is obtained by dehydrating sunflower seeds and separating them into oils, gums and other solids. Lecithin is a by-product of pectin dehydration during this process. From a nutritional point of view, it is an emulsifier that gives food its viscosity. Sunflower lecithin is often used in the production of baked goods such as chocolate, margarine and muffins.
