Liquid creamers
Lecithin is added with the oil phase before homogenisation, where the interface is created.

Sunflower lecithin for dairy-free creamers
Supports emulsification and powder wetting in creamer systems, with guidance matched to how your creamer is processed.
Manufacturing problem
A creamer concentrates the fat into a small volume
Creamers carry a high fat load in a small serving and meet hot, acidic coffee at the moment of use. Emulsification — and, for powdered creamers, wetting — decides how the product behaves from the cup to the pack.
- Emulsion behaviour that varies between production runs
- Powdered creamers that do not disperse cleanly on preparation
- Oil visible on the surface after storage
- Soy lecithin in a formulation that claims soy-free
What lecithin changes
Two jobs: emulsification and wetting
In liquid creamers, sunflower lecithin positions at the oil-water interface during emulsification. In powdered creamers, de-oiled powder supports how the finished mix wets and disperses when it is prepared.
- Emulsification support for high-fat liquid systems
- Cleaner wetting and dispersion in powdered creamers
- Powder dosing that fits dry blending
- A soy-free declaration without changing the oil system

Where it works in barista & dairy-free creamers
Practical process roles, not a one-size-fits-all formulation claim.
Powdered creamers
De-oiled powder is dry-blended to support wetting when the mix is prepared.

Process guide
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liquid creamer | Liquid | With the oil phase before homogenisation | Emulsification at the interface |
| Powdered creamer | Powder | Dry-blended with the finished mix | Wetting and dispersion on preparation |
| Concentrated creamer base | Liquid | Into the oil phase during preparation | Even oil distribution in the concentrate |
| Dairy-free creamer premix | Powder | Dry-blended before packing | Free-flowing, repeatable dosing |

Best for
- Powdered creamer systems
- Dry-blended premixes
- Instant-format products
Handling
Blend with the dry mix so wetting behaviour is built into the finished powder.
Store in the original packaging at room temperature (16-32°C / 61-90°F), away from direct sunlight, moisture, and air.
Watch out
Humidity and blend order affect how the finished powder behaves; validate with the actual blend.
Powder grade produced at a GMP+ and FSSC 22000 certified facility.
