Lecithin

Lecithin is a phospholipid found in all living organisms and plays a crucial role in the formation of nerve cells and brain structure.

In the food industry, lecithin is used in the preparation of products that require a lubricant. Its use in confectionery, in particular, reduces stickiness. Lecithin also helps control the sugar content in chocolates. In dough and bakery products, it acts as a reducer of egg and fat, and it plays a significant role in fermentation stability, increasing volume, and protecting yeast cells when frozen.
