Method for the Fractionation of Phospholipids from Phospholipid-Containing Material Abstract The present invention relates to a counter-current extraction process involving a plurality of mixing and separation stages for fractionating a phospholipid-containing feed material into two or more fractions enriched in one or more phospholipids, comprising (a) contacting the phospholipid containing starting material under agitation with an extractant comprising an aliphatic alcohol selected from C1 to C3 alcohols; (b) separating the obtained emulsion into a phospholipid-enriched extract from a residual raffinate.
