What is Sunflower Lecithin (LeciPOW™SF95)?

LeciPOW™SF95 is a premium deoiled sunflower lecithin powder produced from carefully selected sunflower seeds. Through an advanced deoiling process, most of the oil is removed, resulting in a fine, free-flowing powder with a high phospholipid content of approximately 95%.

Unlike conventional soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin is naturally non-GMO and contains no soybean-derived allergens, making it an excellent choice for allergen-sensitive, clean-label, and soy-free formulations. It is widely preferred by manufacturers seeking alternatives to soy-based emulsifiers while maintaining excellent functionality and product stability.

With outstanding emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, and stabilizing properties, LeciPOW™SF95 is widely used in food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. It helps improve texture, enhance ingredient dispersion, stabilize oil-in-water systems, and support the delivery of fat-soluble nutrients in premium formulations.
