Fluid Lecithin

Fluid soy lecithin is the classic viscous amber-to-brown liquid from oil degumming, standardised for acetone-insolubles and used in chocolate, margarine, and release agents. It coats sugar and cocoa particles so chocolate flows at lower fat, and stabilises water-in-oil spreads without a heavy beany bite when fresh and well refined. Warm gently to pump or blend; do not scorched-hold. A clean fluid grade pours slowly, smells mild, and leaves no gritty sludge. Store sealed and cool—heat and air darken and oxidise the phospholipids.
