The Preparative HPLC Isolation and Identification of Phospholipids from Soy Lecithin

摘要

Lecithins are a constituent of all living membranes. While lecithins are found in both plants and animals, the specific fatty acid subunits vary considerably between plants and animals. The lecithins of plant origin are chiefly derived from soy but other vegetable phospholipids are also used. World consumption of these compounds was estimated @ over 100,000 tons in 1981 (1) with growth expected each year.
