Research Summary
Lecithin is a naturally occurring fatty substance found in plants and animals, commonly extracted from sources such as soybeans, eggs, sunflower seeds, and canola. It is composed of various phospholipids, primarily phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol, along with fatty acids and other compounds. Lecithin is widely used in food and industrial applications due to its emulsifying, stabilizing, and lubricating properties. In the food industry, lecithin acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend and stabilize oil and water-based ingredients in products such as chocolate, margarine, salad dressings, and baked goods. It is also used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics as an ingredient in formulations for its emollient and surfactant properties. Additionally, lecithin has potential health benefits such as supporting liver health, brain function, and cholesterol metabolism, although further research is needed to fully understand its effects.
