Fismer means Lecithin with
Passion. Competence. Sustainability.
High-quality products benefit in many ways from the addition of lecithin. This universally usable natural substance has many positive properties, which we continually optimise at Fismer Lecithin.

OUR PRODUCTS
Soya lecithin, sunflower lecithin and rapeseed lecithin in highest quality
We develop and produce lecithins for the food, animal feed, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries as well as for technical applications. We meet even the most stringent requirements. Whether vegan or organic products, allergen-free, non-GMO, halal or kosher – at Fismer you will receive certified products, sustainably produced and fully traceable. And in the form you need for your application: liquid, powder, sprayable, hydrolysed or in any other desired format.
Fismer Lecithin has been able to attract the best partners in the production of raw lecithin through years of personal contact with the oil mills in the main growing areas. Regular visits from both sides strengthen the long-term partnership and cooperation.
This enables Fismer Lecithin to guarantee its customers the highest degree of supply reliability and to keep providing new and sustainable lecithin products with the best quality standards. Customers of Fismer Lecithin can remain assured that they will only be supplied with soya lecithin that complies with the relevant EU directives – and our own standards.
The demand for GMO-free lecithin has increased strongly against the background of the discussion on allergy and genetic engineering. Lecithin from sunflower seeds can be used as alternative to soya lecithin in many cases. There are no genetically modified variants there: Sunflower lecithin, even in the organic quality, is basically non-GMO, and it also meets many other standards such as vegan, kosher and halal.
At Fismer Lecithin, high-quality sunflower lecithin is an integral part of the product portfolio. In addition to the origin, we also focus on the storage and processing in the oil mills, which exclusively produce sunflower lecithin.
In recent years, the quality of raw lecithin from rapeseed has been significantly improved by technological processes. In the meantime, the technical and physiological properties of rapeseed lecithin, which is fundamentally free of allergens, come close to the equivalent qualities of soya and sunflower lecithin.
Fismer Lecithin was able to establish partnerships quickly in the field of rapeseed lecithin – thanks to personal contacts and a high level of expertise in special applications where special emphasis is placed on allergen-free products. Rapeseed lecithins are produced and further developed in close cooperation with the leading rapeseed processing companies.

FAQ
Things to know about Lecithin
Test
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LECITHIN OBTAINED FROM SUNFLOWERS, RAPESEED AND SOYA
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.

CAN FISMER LECITHIN GUARANTEE MAXIMUM PURITY?
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.
CAN FISMER LECITHIN DELIVER THE SAME QUALITY WORLDWIDE?
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.
WHAT ABOUT TRACEABILITY AT FISMER LECITHIN?
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.
WHAT IS FISMER LECITHIN#S STAND ON SUSTAINABILITY?
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.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ORGANIC LECITHIN?
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.
IS LECITHIN VEGAN?
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.
WHAT IS LYSO-LECITHIN?
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.
WHAT IS PHOSPHATIDYLSERIN?
Phosphatidylserin (PS) ist ein Phospholipid, das direkte Auswirkungen auf das menschliche Gehirn hat. So kann es beispielsweise zur Verbesserung der Konzentrationsfähigkeit und der kognitiven Leistungsfähigkeit eingesetzt werden.
Als Neurotransmitter gibt Phosphatidylserin Befehle über das Nervensystem an das Gehirnzentrum weiter, z.B. um mehr Membranzellen zu bilden oder Muskelzellen aufzubauen beim Ausdauersport.
Das Gehirn arbeitet flexibler, konzentrierter und effektiver: Phosphatidylserin kann Schulkindern helfen, sich besser zu konzentrieren. Verschiedene Studien zeigten, dass bei ADS-Kindern durch die Zugabe von Phosphatidylserin in 92% der Fälle eine Verbesserung auftrat. Bei älteren Menschen, bei denen ein Mangel an körpereigenem PS besteht, kann PS die mentale Leistungsfähigkeit verbessern. Sportler sprechen von verbesserter Fokussierung beim Wettkampf.
