Lecithin is a mixture of fractions extracted from vegetable oils using physical methods. By their nature, the lecithins are the most widespread group of polar lipids, which are present in cell membranes of all living organisms.
Lecithin is a valuable food ingredient comprised of a number of natural vegetable phospholipids. It is used as a highly effective food additive enhancing the emulsifying and dispersing, as well as other rheological properties of various foods, and is used as an antioxidant.
