Abstract
Sunflower lecithin is an important product in countries producing large amounts of sunflower oil. Due to its high phosphatidylcholine and essential fatty acid contents, it can be well utilized as an additive in food and feedstuffs. After refinement and fractionation, its utilization in food products and cosmetics can be greatly increased and further extended after appropriate modification. Utilized as an additive in the feedstuff to piglets and porklings, it results in higher bodyweight and shortened breeding and fattening periods. It is also suitable for adjusting the energy level of broiler feeds and, owing to its choline content, the use of synthetic choline chloride can be eliminated.
