Soy lecithin granules properties & recovery

 

In the last article I wrote that soy lecithin granules did not behave like lecitihin and I believe I have a method of recovering the properties of soy lecithin granules.

Recovering soy lecithin granules properties – the lecithin blend – an introduction

Soy lecithin granules do behave differently from lecithin capsules and raw lecithin and I would hazard a guess that it may not have any beneficial properties if you are adding it to your cornflakes or that milkshake. It looks like it has to be cooked before it can be beneficial but I am not an expert so you need to refer to a food technologist or dietician or scientist who ha done the analysis. This article is how I recover the properties of soy lecithin granules to create the lecithin blend.

 

Recovering soy lecithin granules properties – the lecithin blend – an introduction

Firstly, I must appologise for almost a month of silence on this blog. February 2012 was a very difficult month for blogging as both my websites were hacked and then my old host decided to cease opertions and close the hosting services. I have moved to Peter Publishing for my hosting services.

 

Having said that, let us get back to soy lecithin granules properties. From the last article on soy lecithin granules I had shown a reason why soy lecithin granules may not be as effective as lecithin capsules or raw lecithin. I did suspect that the main reason for the lessen efficacy was that the soy lecithin granules were dry and not in a liquid state.

 

Let us see how I managed to change it back into liquid state.

 

The Lecithin Blend Recipe

 

The Lecithin Blend Recipe
Item	Ingredients	Percentage	Weight	Weight
		(%)	(g)	oz.
1	Soy Lecithin Granules	100	100	3.52
2	Butter	200	200	7.04

Basically I melted the soy lecithin in butter. Why butter? Butter enhances the flavour of what ever you are cooking. You could have used some cooking oil but I will show you how to do that in my next article on lecithin and carotino oil.

How difficult can it be to melt the soy lecithin granules? Let me tell you use a microwave oven as it is the easiest method.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the lecithin and the butter into a microwaveable container – in one go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see from the picture above I was melting the butter and the soy lecithin granules in 30 seconds intervals.  That is I switched on the microwave oven for 30 seconds and then checked if it melted. Then reheated for another 30 seconds and checked. I did this a few times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like it has melted quite a bit. This is not enough as you can see the lecithin granules. You need to microwave until it begins to foam and rise then switch off and take it out of the microwave oven.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see that the temperature rose above 90C (194F). You can give it quick stir. You can see from the picture that the lecithin blend has formed a foam and foam has slowly collapsed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the soy lecithin blend foaming because I was rushing to prevent from spilling all over the microwave. Some of the soy lecithin has overflowed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once heated sufficiently, the granules will melt within the butter and stay in liquid form.

 

 

In my next article I will show you a formulation that had a wonderful impact on my eye sight and in that Christine Lawhon might change her mind about lecithin supplements, soy lecithin granules, lechithin capsules for health benefits.
