As lecithin is destroyed by high temperatures,

Is it?

'Lecithin is a complex mixture of phospholipids and other materials.
They vary greatly in their physical form, from viscous semiliquids to
powders, depending upon their free fatty acid content. They are
almost odorless and will vary in color from brown to light yellow.
Lecithins are used as dispersing, emulsifying and stabilizing agents.
They will decompose at extreme pH, are hygroscopic and will
oxidize, darken and *decompose at high temperatures*. Lecithin
should be stored at room temperature protected from light.
Refrigeration may cause the material to separate.'
