The only thing I could find on the difference between liquid lecithin and lecithin granules is that liquid lecithin has added oil (usually soybean oil for soy lecithin) to keep it in the liquid form. Therefore, I would think that it would be advisable to use lecithin granuals for this process. See article below. Dan http://www.thelecithinstore.com/shop/features.asp "What is the difference between liquid lecithin, ordinary lecithin capsules and lecithin granules? "Liquid lecithin is a relatively inexpensive product produced for commercial use as an emulsifier in foods., cosmetics, paints etc. It consists of approximately 61% phosphatides and 37% soybean oil. The liquid lecithin used in ordinary lecithin capsules is even lower in phosphatides since it usually must be further diluted with oil to achieve the proper consistency for encapsulation. "The purest lecithin granules contain over 95% phosphatides and about 2% soybean oil. Granules are 60% more concentrated and contain 43% fewer calories than an equal weight of liquid lecithin. Despite the claims we occasionally run across that liquid lecithin is nutritionally superior to lecithin granules for one reason or another, investigation has never shown this to be the case. On the contrary, studies have indicated that products richer in phosphatidylcholine may be more effective and that polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in phosphatidylcholine are better utilized in the body than those from soy or other vegetable oils." -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
