| Abstract: | Rapeseed Wet Gum as a Direct Source of High Quality Lecithin The acetone deoiling and dehydration processes of rapeseed wet gum were investigated for deoiled lecithin preparation. The yield, the deoiling efficiency and the quality of lecithins obtained from wet gum were compared with those prepared from the commercial raw lecithin. Besides, the extraction parameters were also discussed. Basing on the performed investigations it could be summarized that the deoiling and dehydration processes are more effective when the lecithin wet gum is used. The quality of deoiled lecithin prepared from wet gum is also better than that obtained from other commercial raw materials. |
