Sunflower lecithin

Sunflower lecithin is a food ingredient derived from sunflower seeds. It is a plant-based substance commonly used in various food products. Lecithin is a type of fat that helps ingredients mix together and stay combined.

To make sunflower lecithin, oil is extracted from sunflower seeds, and then the lecithin is separated from the oil. This process can involve using chemicals or natural methods like pressing or extracting with water. Once separated, the lecithin is dried and turned into a powder or liquid form for use in food production.

Sunflower lecithin is included in food products for its emulsifying properties, which help ingredients blend smoothly and stay mixed. You can find it in items like chocolate, baked goods, salad dressings, and margarine. It can improve the texture of these foods and help extend their shelf life.
