The major lecithin sold domestically in commercial quantities is extracted from soybeans. Com and sunflower seed lecithins are available in limited amounts. Canola is being reviewed as a lecithin source in countries that do not grow significant quantities of soybeans. Lecithins may be added to feeds in cmde or refined forms, remain as residuals in solvent- or mechanical-extracted oilseed meals, be returned to oilseed meals as extracted gums or soapstocks at combined solvent extraction-oil refinery operations, or simply be native to an oilseed fed whole.
