A. Emulsifiers are substances that stabilise mixtures and prevent oil and water from separating. Lecithin (322) occurs naturally in soy beans and egg yolk and is an emulsifier often used in margarine, chocolate and confectionery. Our body digests emulsifiers in a similar way to fats, so can be considered safe. Emulsifier 476 is used in chocolate and confectionery and is gluten free.
