DISCOVER THE WORLD OF LECITHIN Lecithin is a key multifunctional ingredient in many of your favorite everyday foods Lecithin became crucial in producing chocolate, helping with instant powder, margarine, spreads and bakery items like cookies and cakes. These are just a few lecithin uses in food applications where consistency, mouthfeel, and shelf life are essential. It is derived from natural sources such as soy, sunflower, and rapeseed. It comprises a complex blend of phospholipids, fats, and carbohydrates, making it one of the most versatile and powerful natural emulsifiers available to food technologists and manufacturers.

Lecithin is used as the universal emulsifier in chocolate and compound chocolate. The use of lecithin in a very small dosage allows the manufacturers to adjust viscosity, which would only be possible by adding much bigger quantities of fat (cocoa butter or vegetable fat). Therefore, lecithin is a cost-saver. Lasenor offers a full set of botanical origins: VEROLEC NON GMO®: Non-GM soy lecithins. VEROLEC ORGANIC SRN®: Organic soy lecithins GIRALEC®: Sunflower lecithins. GIRALEC ORGANIC SRN®: Organic sunflower lecithins. SEMILEC®: Rapeseed lecithins. VEROLEC®: GM soy lecithins.
