Use
Lecithins are essential components of cell membranes and, in
principle, may be obtained from a wide variety of living matter. In
practice, however, lecithins are usually obtained from vegetable
products such as soybean, peanut, cottonseed, sunflower, rapeseed,
corn, or groundnut oils. Soybean lecithin is the most commercially
important vegetable lecithin. Lecithin obtained from eggs is also
commercially important and was the first lecithin to be discovered.
Vegetable lecithins are obtained as a by-product in the vegetable
oil refining process. Polar lipids are extracted with hexane and, after
removal of the solvent, a crude vegetable oil is obtained. Lecithin is
then removed from the crude oil by water extraction. Following
drying, the lecithin may be further purified.
With egg lecithin, a different manufacturing process must be
used since the lecithin in egg yolks is more tightly bound to proteins
than in vegetable sources. Egg lecithin is thus obtained by solvent
extraction from liquid egg yolks using acetone or from freeze-dried
egg yolks using ethanol (95%).
Synthetic lecithins may also be produced.
