Description
Organic sunflower lecithin is an amber-to-brown viscous liquid that is physically separated from expeller pressed organic sunflower oil without the use of solvents. As more and more products are being developed to satisfy the needs of allergen sensitive consumers, product developers are increasingly opting for sunflower lecithin over soy lecithin (currently recognized as a major allergen).
Use organic sunflower lecithin in chocolate to improve viscosity, in frozen vegan desserts to replace eggs, or in nut milk alternatives and creamers to reduce ingredient separation.
Conventional non-GMO (non-organic) liquid sunflower lecithin is also available.

Sunflower lecithin acts as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and dispersing agent in various food products.
Soy Lecithin Powder
Organic deoiled soy lecithin powder is a yellow-to-light brown powder that functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and instantizing agent. It is soluble in fat and dispersible in water, and is easy to dose and incorporate into dry blends like nutritional supplement powders and baking mixes. Compared to liquid lecithin, powdered lecithin is a concentrated format with a higher percentage of acetone insolubles — a measure of the surface active properties. In many applications, powdered lecithin can be applied at a rate up to thirty percent less than liquid lecithin, offering manufactures advantages in reduced storage, transportation and packaging disposal costs. Conventional non-GMO (non-organic) identity preserved (IP) deoiled soy lecithin powder is also available.
Sunflower Lecithin Powder
Organic deoiled sunflower lecithin is a dark yellow-to-brown colored powder that functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, stabilizer, instantizing agent, release agent, lubricant, antioxidant and dispersant in a variety of applications including food and beverage, cosmetics and pet food. It is easier to handle and incorporate into dry mixes for many manufacturers compared to liquid lecithin, and can often be applied at a dosage rate up to thirty percent less. When fluid lecithin is dried, it creates a concentrated form of powdered lecithin with a higher percentage of phospholipids and acetone insolubles — a measure of the surface active properties. Organic sunflower lecithin is popular in applications where allergen sensitivity is a consideration. Use sunflower lecithin powder in baking mixes, frozen dough systems for crystal control, or in dry nutritional drink mixes for instantizing and improving mixability with liquids. Conventional non-GMO deoiled sunflower lecithin powder is also available.
Soy Lecithin Liquid
Organic soy lecithin is a translucent, yellowish-brown, viscous liquid used across the food, beverage and personal care industries as an emulsifier, wetting agent, stabilizer, instantizing agent, release agent, lubricant, antioxidant and dispersant. It has a milder flavor, and can often be used in smaller quantities than sunflower lecithin. Lecithin is a powerful emulsifier in applications like salad dressings, vegan spreads, nut milk alternatives and bodycare products to help prevent separation. It is also used in pan sprays, chewing gum and frozen dough systems. Conventional identity preserved and monitored (IPM) liquid soy lecithin produced from non-GMO (non-organic) soybeans is also available.
