Ensure you're serving only the freshest pastries and confections to your customers with this LorAnn Oils liquid soy lecithin. This all-natural, food-grade liquid soy lecithin is an extremely versatile, essential ingredient for cake decorators, candy makers, and pastry chefs and will not alter the flavor of your foods. It is a natural preservative that works to slow down the oxidation of fats and oils in your baked goods and buttery candies, which helps to prevent rancidity, retain moisture, and extend shelf life, as well as works to control sugar crystallization. Additionally, lecithin is an ideal ingredient in gourmet popcorn! It can be used as a cost effective alternative to cocoa butter to thin chocolate for drizzling, and it can also be added to caramel to help evenly coat popcorn and reduce clumping.
Liquid soy lecithin is also a popular emulsifier for a variety of foods from gravies, sauces, and dressings to candies and baked goods. Lecithin is useful for completely and evenly blending the ingredients in your dough recipes, which helps to produce smoother, more elastic dough and a lighter, chewier end product. To use in your pastry doughs, simply mix the lecithin into the fat or oil prior to adding to the batch. It is recommended to use 2-3 tsp. for every 3 cups of flour.
Founded in Okemos, Michigan in 1962 by Pharmacist O.K. Grettenberger, LorAnn Oils was created to fill the niche market of bottling concentrated flavors and essential oils. At the time, LorAnn Oils started their business in Grettenberger's basement, only bottling approximately 8 flavors, and exclusively supplying to pharmacies. As the candy making and confection baking businesses grew around the world, so did LorAnn Oils, moving to a state-of-the-art facility and expanding their product line to include flavorings, emulsions, extracts, and even specialized flavoring for ice cream making. Now, LorAnn Oils products are beloved in over 50 countries around the world, where outstanding and delicious confections are created using their premium concentrated flavors, emulsions, and extracts.
