Question 1

Would it be possible to get an explanation as to how this product is used and what are the results of using it?  Thank you in advance.

Accepted Answer

It's use with food as an additive or in food preparation. It is used commercially in foods requiring a natural emulsifier or lubricant.In confectionery, it reduces viscosity, replaces more expensive ingredients, controls sugar crystallization and the flow properties of chocolate, helps in the homogeneous mixing of ingredients, improves shelf life for some products, and can be used as a coating. In emulsions and fat spreads, it stabilizes emulsions, reduces spattering during frying, improves texture of spreads and flavor release. In dough and bakery items, it reduces fat and egg requirements, helps even distribution of ingredients in dough, stabilizes fermentation, increases volume, protects yeast cells in dough when frozen, and acts as a releasing agent to prevent sticking and simplify cleaning. Lecithin keeps cocoa and cocoa butter in a candy bar from separating. It is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for human consumption with the status "generally recognized as safe". Research studies show soy-derived lecithin has significant effects on lowering serum cholesterol and triglycerides, while increasing HDL ("good cholesterol") levels in the blood of rats.All from Wiki...hope this helps.  I see it's a little late but you know the old saying...  :)A.
