Fismer means Lecithin with

Yes, both from the country of origin and the plant. Unlike rapeseed and soya lecithin, sunflower lecithin is not genetically engineered - it is basically non-GMO. Another important aspect is that sunflower and rapeseed lecithin are free of allergens. Of course, all our vegetable lecithins are suitable for vegetarian and vegan nutrition. Our lecithins are not obtained from animal origins. In all lecithins produced and offered by Fismer Lecithin, great importance is attached to sustainability, transparency and traceability.

Our team of lecithin experts with different application know-how is always ready to answer your questions. We do not have any problems, only challenges.

Highly pure lecithin is often required for demanding products. Through selected aspects such as sustainability, traceability, transparency and maximum functionality, Fismer Lecithin has made it its business to meet the highest customer demands. We adhere to our principles and also to those of our certificates.

Of course, we can supply to our customers worldwide with the same quality standards and customer-specific requirements. We monitor the entire supply chain, from the selection of seeds till the delivery of the product.

Identity Preserved Monitoring (IPM) applies without restriction to all products from Fismer Lecithin, whether sunflower lecithin, soya lecithin or rapeseed lecithin.

Identity Preserved Monitoring means that we can guarantee traceability back to the seed and thus exclude the possibility of genetically modified traces. This is made possible by our close cooperation with local oil mills and the many years of experience of our employees. Of course, thanks to our certification, traceability can be shown for every batch produced.

If your product is dependent on a non-GMO label or if your customers attach importance to GMO-free production, you will always find a suitable lecithin with us.

Fismer Lecithin stands committed to full transparency and traceability in the entire supply chain.

Sustainability has become indispensable for our products today. Thus, we guarantee absolute product safety and quality for our customers. From cultivation to production and finally to the finished product, we attach great importance to the sustainability of our lecithin products. Only in this way can we offer our customers outstanding product quality in the long term and in the future.

Products that come entirely from organic farming and organic production are becoming increasingly popular. Especially in times of Covid 19 more and more people are buying health- and environmentally conscious, the demand for products made of renewable raw materials has been increasing continuously for years, especially in Europe.

It is not always easy for suppliers of organic products to find lecithin that is 100% organic. Fismer has the know-how to produce biolecithin in the required qualities and quantities - and the contractually secured access to the necessary raw materials, which is only possible with exclusive partnerships.

Our soya lecithins, sunflower lecithins and rapeseed lecithins are basically vegan. Therefore they are suitable without restriction as an ingredient for vegan labelled products. The only exception are lecithins sprayed onto carriers of milk powder.

By means of enzymatic hydrolysis, the lecithin is treated with an enzyme, making it more hydrophilic and significantly increasing its emulsifying power. Lyso-lecithin is very effective in oil-in-water emulsions, e.g. margarine, and in frozen dough pieces. In baking applications, for example, it can be used to avoid the approx. ten percent baking loss normally present.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid that has direct effects on the human brain. For example, it can be used to improve concentration and cognitive performance.

As a neurotransmitter, phosphatidylserine sends commands via the nervous system to the brain centre, e.g. to form more membrane cells or build muscle cells during endurance sports.

The brain works more flexibly, more concentrated and more effectively: phosphatidylserine can help schoolchildren to concentrate better. Several studies have shown that in children with ADHD, the addition of phosphatidylserine led to an improvement in 92% of cases. In older people who have a lack of the body's own PS, PS can improve mental performance. Athletes talk about improved focus during competition.
