Soy lecithin, also known as E322, is a by-product in the process of refining soybean oil and is the essence extracted from soybeans. Soy lecithin is a basic substance of life. It is not only an important part of the human biofilm, but also a source of choline and fatty acids. It plays a key role in maintaining the physiological activity of the biofilm and the normal metabolism of the body.
Lecithin is a food additive that comes from several sources — one of them being soy. It's generally used as an emulsifier, or lubricant.
