Abstract
1) The interfacial characteristics of lysolecithins are highly dependent on chain length and unsaturation of the fatty acid chain. (Stearoyl) and (oleoyl) lysolecithins form stable monolayers with high collapse pressures (35 dynes/cm) whereas (palmitoyl) (myristoyl), and (linoleoyl) lysolecithin monolayers show low collapse pressures (12.4 dynes/cm).
2) Deoxylysolecithins show an interfacial behavior
