Lecithins

Cargill started to work with lecithin more than 70 years ago. A wealth of specialized experience gives Cargill a thorough knowledge of the characteristic properties of the constituents of lecithin, the individual application requirements of a broad spectrum of industries and the wide range of available processes and technologies.

Traditionally the key food applications for lecithin have been chocolate and confectionery, margarine and spreads, bakery as well as beverages (powdered / instant).
