The surface activity and ultimately the performance of commercial lecithin can be improved by physical, chemical or enzymatic methods. These methods are reviewed along with a brief survey of the use of special lecithins in certain food and non‐food applications. Emphasis is placed on margarine, instant foods, leather fatting and mosquito control systems.
