The
product in detail
Description
Soy lecithin is both an emulsifier and an antioxidant. It promotes the formation of yellow doughs by improving their hydration, and regulates the fermentation of leavened products. It increases the volume of finished products and prolongs their shelf life by delaying starch retrogradation. It also reduces the crumbliness of cookies, especially wafers.
In the kitchen, and even in mixology, it makes it easy to create airy, stable foams.
In industry, it acts as a solubilizing agent for powders.
Lecithin powder is a de-oiled lecithin which needs to reach a certain temperature to be active (at least 60°C). It is recommended for recipes involving a cooking stage, where the lecithin is not expected to act immediately.

Do you have any questions about this product?
Fluid lecithin acts immediately to lubricate the preparation. This is not necessarily desirable in recipes where you want to keep a certain inhomogeneity of fats with the rest of the dough (e.g. shortbread dough), at least until it is baked: you should therefore choose a powder form, which can be easily mixed with the rest of the ingredients and is only activated during baking.
