Lecithin is usually removed via centrifuge. It has been our experience working with local restaurants and restaurant supply companies that the sales reps do not know which products in their line of oils and hydrogenated shortenings are the degummed versions and which are not. In virtually every instance they had to consult their suppliers to verify. In several instances their "creamy fry oil" was a non-degummed variety.
Our interest came primarily from R&D of an all vegetable candle that we formulated. Problems with wicks carmeling gave cause to explore the matter.
