Soy lecithin for sale at a grocery store in Uruguay. Lecithins have emulsification and lubricant properties, and are a surfactant. They can be completely metabolized (see inositol) by humans, so are well tolerated by humans and nontoxic when ingested. The major components of commercial soybean-derived lecithin are: [13] 33–35% soybean oil

Tannins – color, emulsifier, stabiliser, thickener; Tansy – Tara gum – thickener, vegetable gum, stabilizer; Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) – Tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids – emulsifier; Tartrazine – color (yellow and orange) (FDA: FD&C Yellow #5) Tea oil/Camellia oil – widely used in southern ...
Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) are a naturally occurring class of food additive composed of diglycerides and monoglycerides used as an emulsifier in foods such as infant formula, fresh pasta, jams and jellies, chocolate, creams, baked goods, and more. [1] It is also used as a fruit coating agent.
Examples of food emulsifiers are: Egg yolk – in which the main emulsifying and thickening agent is lecithin. Mustard [23] – where a variety of chemicals in the mucilage surrounding the seed hull act as emulsifiers; Soy lecithin is another emulsifier and thickener; Pickering stabilization – uses particles under certain circumstances
Lecithin, monoglycerides, diglycerides, and DATEM are considered emulsifiers. They disperse fat more evenly throughout the dough, helping it to trap more of the CO 2 produced by yeast. [29] Lecithin added at a rate of 0.25-to-0.6% of the flour weight acts as a dough conditioner. [30] Based on total weight, egg yolk contains about 9% lecithin. [31]
Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR), E476, is an emulsifier made from glycerol and fatty acids (usually from castor bean, but also from soybean oil).In chocolate, compound chocolate and similar coatings, PGPR is mainly used with another substance like lecithin [2] to reduce viscosity.
