is lecithan like xantham gum
The amounts would have to be altered as agar sets much more solidly than xanthan gum, and gum acacia sets less solidly. Lecithin is a commonly used emulsifier in mayonnaise (probably even more so than xanthan gum).It's normally obtained from soy, but sunflower lecithin is also available.Usually a fairly small amount is sufficient.anthan gum helps keep mayo emulsified through the jar being pasteurized, shipped, stored on the shelf for months, and kept in the refrigerator after opening. The diet of my customers does not allow for highly processed additives or anything made from grains or legumes.
