Fractionated lecithin is obtained by fractionating the lecithin with a solvent, such as ethanol. It is a by-product of oil extraction and is available in the gums of edible oils. Earlier, it was thrown away as waste after the oil extraction process.
Demand for fractionated lecithin is expected to surge at a fast pace in the upcoming years on the back of its rising usage in repelling sticking materials, homogenizing and emulsifying liquid mixtures, as well as smoothing food textures.
Some of the most common sources of lecithin include sunflower oil, milk, egg yolk, cottonseed, rapeseed, soybeans, and marine foods. It is often sold as a dietary supplement and food additive. It is also sometimes utilized as an emulsifier in cooking to prevent sticking.
Moreover, it is considered to be a major source of an essential nutrient named choline as it contains phosphatidylcholines. It is non-toxic and is thus extensively used in food preparation or as a food additive.

The ongoing expansion of the food processing industry owing to the rising research and development activities is likely to augment the fractionated lecithin market growth in the forthcoming years. Fractionated lecithin is used in this industry to propel the functionality of food products. The high demand for processed food that has gone through several processes, including pasteurizing, washing, fermenting, or blending to reduce the incidence of foodborne disease is also set to drive the market.
As per the World Health Organization (WHO), every year, nearly one in 10 people worldwide fall ill because of the consumption of contaminated food. The organization further states that more than 300 diseases occur by contaminated food. These numbers are projected to grow at a fast pace in future, thereby pushing sales in the global market.
Though fractionated lecithin is used as a dietary supplement, there is no clinical evidence suggesting the safety and efficacy of the same to enhance milk flow in breast-feeding mothers. The U.S. FDA has also exempted a handful of soy lecithin products from its guidelines associated with allergenic source labeling. These factors may hamper the demand for fractionated lecithin in the evaluation period.
