Moulded bars
Supports consistent cavity filling and release in dark, milk-style and plant-based chocolate systems.
Chocolate & confectionery
Sunflower lecithin for controlled chocolate flow
Improve flow through refining, moulding and enrobing while keeping soy off premium and allergen-conscious labels.
Manufacturing problem
Chocolate flow changes across the line
Cocoa solids, sugar, milk powders and fat must move as one continuous mass. Poor wetting or uneven fat distribution raises viscosity and makes depositing less predictable.
- Inconsistent flow at the depositor or enrober
- Air pockets and incomplete mould filling
- Thick coatings that add weight and slow throughput
- Soy declarations that do not fit a premium label
What lecithin changes
Lecithin improves particle wetting
Liquid sunflower lecithin disperses through the fat phase and helps the continuous phase coat solid particles more evenly.
- More controllable flow during moulding and enrobing
- More uniform coverage across coated products
- Cleaner release from processing surfaces
- Neutral flavour and a soy-free declaration
Relevant uses
Where it works in chocolate & confectionery
Practical process roles, not a one-size-fits-all formulation claim.
Enrobing & coatings
Helps maintain a workable coating flow for biscuits, bars and inclusions.
Compound confectionery
Improves dispersion in fat-based coatings, centres and flavoured confectionery masses.

Format, addition stage and target effect
This starting-point map helps your team choose a trial path. Exact guidance follows review of your process.
| Application | Format | Addition stage | Target effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moulded chocolate | Liquid | Into the fat phase during finishing | Controlled flow and mould filling |
| Enrobing chocolate | Liquid | During final mixing before the enrober | Even coating and line consistency |
| Compound coatings | Liquid | With the melted fat system | Particle wetting and dispersion |
| Dry cocoa premixes | Powder | Dry-blended before packing | Faster wetting during preparation |

Best for
- Moulding and enrobing
- Fat-based coatings
- Metered liquid dosing
Handling
Add through the fat phase with enough mixing to distribute it evenly through the mass.
Store in the original closed packaging at room temperature (16-32°C / 61-90°F), away from direct sunlight and air. Storage below 16°C may cause separation.
Watch out
Confirm the best addition point against your refining, conching and finishing sequence.
