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.

[PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED] It enables any superior ether phospholipids to the conventional ones and a method for producing the same in an easy manner on a massive scale, in light of effects of treating and improving brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson disease, depression and schizophrenia, metabolic diseases such as diabetes, various infectious diseases, and immune disorders. [SOLUTION] Ether phospholipids are obtained from bivalve tissues such as clams and corbicula by extraction processing. The ether phospholipids exhibit significantly superior effects of the above as compared to the conventional ether phospholipids derived from chicken tissues.
