Food Lecithins
Fluid Lecithin
Get Latest Price
ADM fluid lecithins are applicable in a wide variety of food processing applications. As an emulsifier, fluid lecithin is used in the manufacturing of margarine and vegetable-based milk replacements. It is the active ingredient in many food-grade release agents such as pan oils, griddle greases and aerosol coatings. It is also used to alter viscosity in chocolate products and compound coatings. In bread baking applications, fluid lecithin acts to improve dough machinability, volume, symmetry and shelf life. In crackers, cookies, cakes and pies, it improves shortening dispersion and acts as a release agent.

- Yelkin Series Fluid IP (Non-GMO Soy Lecithin): Series of standardized lecithins that provide moisture retention and emulsification in high viscosity applications
• Adlec RL Fluid (Non-GMO Rapeseed Lecithin): Adlec RL™ offers unique properties and can modify the boundary layers between many types of substances. In the presence of two immiscible liquid phases, Adlec RL lecithin reduces the surface tension and acts as an emulsifier. When used between a solid and a liquid phase, it acts as a wetting and dispersing agent. When used between solid phases, it acts as a lubricant or release agent. - Ultralec Deoiled IP (Non-GMO Soy Lecithin): ADM’s exclusive, ultrafiltered, deoiled lecithin is used in hydrophilic instantising applications, and it provides excellent emulsification properties in reduced fat and flavor-sensitive applications.
