Abstract Ten different synthetic lecithins have been analyzed by reverse‐phase high pressure liquid chromatography. An empirical lecithin “carbon number” that depends on the total number of carbons and double bonds in the fatty acyl chains in a useful index in predicting retention volumes of lecithins on a nonpolar octadecyl fatty acid column. Commercial egg lecithin is separated into its components by this technique.
