Most probably Soy Lecithin.
In short, no. Lecithin is a type of fatty substance which occurs in plant and animal tissues. As the name suggests soy lecithin is derived from the soy bean. It is safe for people who have celiac disease to have it. However, people with an allergy to soy should avoid it.
Lecithin is an organic compound.
It is phosphatidyl choline.Structure:1.Glycerol2.Saturated fatty acid,attached to alpha carbon of glycerol by carboxyl ester bond3.Unsaturated fatty acid,attached to alpha carbon of glycerol by carboxyl ester bond4.Phosphoric acid,attached to alpha carbon of glycerol by carboxyl ester bond5.Coline attached to phosphoric acid by an ester bond
Lecithin can come from two main sources; soy or eggs. Clearly if you have a soy allergy, eating soy lecithin is unwise. Luckily, if lecithin is from soy, it must be labelled "soy lecithin" on the packaging. Eating egg lecithin should present no problems. I should point out that the vast majority of regular chocolate bars contain soy lecithin rather than egg; lecithin-free chocolate is a specialty product which can sometimes be found in specialist chocolateries or health-food stores.
Some lecithin is derived from soy bean oil, and some is derived from animal fat. A lot is derived from egg. Best to go to a vegetarian store which stocks soy lecithin.
An emulsifier made from soy oil.
Soy 476 is a food additive, specifically an emulsifier derived from soybeans. It is commonly used in food production to improve texture and stability in various products.
yes!
Nope
There is no definite answer to this question since Lecithin (which is an emulsifier) may be derived form either plant (i.e. soy lecithin) - or animal source. Here in Germany it is specifically written if the lecithin is derived from soy beans (= soy lecithin). If only "lecithin" is written on the product, one has to ensure (f.e. by contacting the producer) whether its derived from animal or plant-source. See more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin
Lecithin is any of a group of yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in animal and plant tissues, and in egg yolk. When it is extracted from soy, it is called soy-lecithin. It's still lecithin, it's just telling you where it comes from :)
Yes. Lecithin is made from soy, as far as I know. Some lecithin is derived from soy bean oil, and some is derived from animal fat.. Best to go to a natural health/ vegetarian store.
Lecithin is a combination of phospholipids that naturally occur in soybeans. Lecithin gums are obtained from soy oil after the oil has been extracted from the soybean flakes. Lecithin is removed from the soybean oil using a steam precipitation process. Precipitate is spray dryed to be transformed into Lecithin powder for use as ingredient in dry foods and it has the same applications as the liquid Soya Lecithin
