Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of the manufacture of food compounds derived from processing plant species, more specifically the process taught here provides products resulting from a process for obtaining compounds derived from vegetable raw material. The present invention describes the recovery of lecithin from the micelle/soy molasses, a residue obtained during the soy carrier concentrate (SPC) process. In a first aspect of the invention it discloses a process for extracting phospholipids in conjunction with extraction of soluble sugars during the industrial process of obtaining (SPC). In a second aspect, the present invention discloses an industrial process for recovering/removing such micelle phospholipids/soy molasses, cleaning and use for the production of soy lecithin.

Claim (Index 1):
An industrial process characterized by being made from soybean micelle or molasses, derived from the production of soy protein concentrate, being soybean micelle (M 1 ) or (M 2 ) sent to a heat exchanger (TC- 01 ) to obtain temperature (T 1 ) in the range of 10\u00b0 C.-90\u00b0 C., further (M 1 ) or (M 2 ) at the temperature (T 1 ) then sent to the impurity removal stage by centrifugation (CT- 01 ) or by means of a filter or filter a stream (I 1 ) composed of impurities plus fine fines and another stream of centrifuged micelles (MC); said centrifuged micelle (MC) is then sent to another heat exchanger (TC- 02 ) to obtain temperature T 2  between 10\u00b0 C. and 90\u00b0 C. and then is sent to the heat exchanger (TC- 03 ) to obtain a temperature (T 3 ) between 10\u00b0 C. and 90\u00b0 C., then proceeding to the centrifugation step (CT- 02 ), where three output streams are obtained: clean gum containing ethanol solution (GL), degassed micelle (MD) and impurities plus fine bran containing ethanol solution ( 12 ); (GL) sent to the mixing tank (TM- 01 ) where 1% to 20% of the fatty acid (AG) from the tank (TQ- 03 ) and from 1% to 40% of soybean oil (OS) from the tank (TQ- 02 ), this mixture (MT) is homogenized in a mixing tank (TM- 01 ) and follows to a continuous or batch lecithin dryer (SL- 01 ) alcohol (GH) is formed during the drying of the mixture, the stream (GH) is sent to three condensers in series (CD- 01 ,  02  and  03 ) obtaining a liquid stream (LH) which flows into the tank (TQ- 01 ), after leaving the hot Lecithin (LQ) dryer, with temperature (T 5 ) between 50\u00b0 C. and 100\u00b0 C., to the lecithin cooler (RL- 01 ), where it should obtain a temperature (T 6 ) between 10\u00b0 C. to 60\u00b0 C., this cold lecithin (LF) then goes to another mixing tank (TM- 02 ), where the final adjustment of the quality parameters of the finished lecithin will be carried out with the addition of more fatty acid and soybean oil, after said action, wherein the final grade of lecithin from liquid soya (LA) from molasses is ready to go to lecithin storage tanks (TQ- 01 ) (TQ- 02 ) (TQ- 04 ) (TO- 05 ).
