Lecithin is a favored emulsifier, commonly incorporated into food items, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and dietary supplements to bestow them with a seamless consistency and an even appearance. This fatty substance is a natural component present in your body, as well as in plant and animal matter. Cape Crystal’s Sunflower Lecithin Powder stands out as an excellent substitute to soy lecithin powder, being free from soy, GMO, and gluten.
Given its natural emulsifying properties, Sunflower Lecithin can be effectively utilized in a wide range of food applications such as baked goods, salad dressings, chocolates, confectionery, dairy products, frosting, and spreads. For instance, in bread recipes, lecithin is often included at a concentration of 0.2 percent. Furthermore, it is leveraged in the creation of layered cakes, typically added in relation to the weight of the flour at a ratio of 0.5-1.5 percent.
When properly blended, it significantly simplifies the process of moistening dry ingredients. Cape Crystal’s Sunflower Lecithin also contributes to an enhanced volume of bread during baking. It’s important to note that lecithin is naturally present in plant-based sources like soybeans, as well as in raw ingredients such as eggs.
