ADM’s exclusive Ultralec® ultrafiltered deoiled lecithin is ideal for food and nutritional applications requiring a dry lecithin with a bland flavor and low aroma. It is created through an ultrafiltration process that ensures unmatched quality and exceptional purity. It provides excellent emulsification properties in reduced fat and flavor-sensitive applications. It also plays a vital role in many animal nutrition applications. Ultralec® is available in three different granulation sizes: fine granule, granule and powder.
