Deoiling of soy lecithin through ultrafiltration (UF) using an inorganic ceramic membrane was examined in a favorable solvent medium (hexane). Phospholipid (PL) reverse micelles with an average particle size of 9.8 nm were prepared in a 1:3 soy lecithin/hexane system (m/m) with 9% water added at a temperature of 25°C. Consequently, an inorganic ceramic membrane with a pore size of 5 nm was selected. UF was employed in continuous diafiltration mode at transmembrane pressure (TMP) of 0.25 MPa, and a final deoiled lecithin product with a high acetone insoluble (AI) content of 96.32% was obtained at a yield of around 84%.
