Abstract
Cooking fat compositions containing pretreated lecithin which resist thermal darkening are disclosed. The pretreatment, which comprises the addition of water to lecithin dissolved in a minimal amount of fat followed by heating and filtration, results in a decrease in the thermal discoloration of lecithin with no substantial reduction in its anti-sticking properties. This enables the use of lecithin at levels in fats higher than for untreated lecithin to improve the anti-sticking performance of the fat.
