Phase equilibria and structure of dry and hydrated egg lecithin

The behavior of purified egg lecithin in water has been investigated in relation to the quantity of water present and the temperature. The complete binary phase diagram of egg lecithin-water is presented as well as X-ray diffraction data on selected mixtures. Dry egg lecithin is present in at least...
