Lecithin for Sweet Bakery

Contact Us

Today’s consumers feel more and more empowered to decide what is healthy for them, and increasingly rely on ingredient labels to make decisions in which products they do or do not want. This has led to the proliferation of organic, plant-based and other label-friendly claims in bakery products.

In addition, manufacturers are increasing the use of health claims like gluten-free or allergen-free on the front of pack, to make sure their products stand out even more.

Cargill can help sweet bakery manufacturers replace artificial emulsifiers with familiar and well-perceived lecithin ingredients, without compromising on functionality.

Our lecithin products are nature-derived, plant-based, and suitable for organic certification.

Lecithin benefits

  • Replaces artificial emulsifiers
  • Organic options available
  • Helps to reduce fat
  • Enables Gluten free solutions
  • Improves eating experience

Using lecithin results in the homogenous distribution of the ingredients, even browning of the baking goods, less stickiness during processing and prolonged freshness among other benefits.

Our Offering

We offer a broad range of lecithin solutions that improve the processability and quality of different baked goods including batter-based products, dough-based products, snack bars and coated cereals.

Our lecithin solutions are derived from various botanical sources such as soy, sunflower and rapeseed. With our range of lecithin solutions, we give manufacturers the possibility to choose the type of lecithin and the botanical source that best answers their processing and labelling needs, without compromising functionality and quality.
