Abstract The phospholipids from three control and two glyphosate‐tolerant soybean cultivars were isolated by extraction of soy flakes with hexane and characterized after separation by high‐pressure liquid chromatography. In addition, several lots of commercial fluid lecithin were analyzed and the results were compared to values published in the literature. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidic acid were identified as major components in these cultivars and in the commercial lecithin samples. The results showed that glyphosate‐tolerant soybeans yield lecithin comparable and equivalent to conventional soybean cultivars.
