A small amount thins it noticeably, which helps when you are tempering, moulding or coating.

The difference is what comes with them. Soy is one of the allergens that must be declared on food labels in Australia, and soy lecithin is not exempt. Sunflower is not on the mandatory allergen list. If you bake for markets, cafes, friends with allergies or anyone avoiding soy, sunflower lecithin takes soy out of the recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost lecithin on supermarket and pharmacy shelves in Australia is soy.

Lecithin is permitted as food additive 322 and is used every day in commercial bread, biscuits and chocolate. Sunflower lecithin powder does the same job as soy lecithin without the soy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much lecithin do I add to bread?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 0.2 to 0.5% of the flour weight. For a standard 500 g flour loaf, that is half to one rounded teaspoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to dissolve the powder first?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Because the oil has been removed, the powder disperses easily. Whisk it into your dry ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan lecithin replace eggs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePartly. It can stand in for the emulsifying job of an egg yolk, for example in a dressing, but it does not replace the protein that gives eggs their structure in cakes. Use it alongside your usual egg replacer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same lecithin as your Sunflower Lecithin Powder?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
