Abstract: An emulsifier adapted for use in a nutritive oil-in-water emulsion suitable for parenteral administration is produced by extracting vegetable lecithin with alkyl alcohols having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or mixtures thereof, followed by fractional precipitation at specific temperatures and concentrations effective to cause the removal of toxic materials. The alcohol soluble phospholipid fraction produced by the process contains an increased level of phosphatidyl choline and reduced levels of phosphatidyl ethanolamine, inositol phospholipids, phosphatidic acid and glycolipids.
