Understanding the Dihedral System
The Dihedral System uses orthogonal projection onto two planes perpendicular to each other. To represent it on a plane (vertical plane), it is rotated perpendicularly (horizontal) 90 degrees around the intersection line (ground line).

Its representation is made by projecting onto the vertical plane around the line of intersection.

Isolation and Purification of Lecithin from Egg Yolk
Egg yolks are a rich and convenient source of lecithin. They contain water, fats, proteins, phospholipids, cholesterol, pigments, and vitamins. Using acetone extraction, most triacylglycerols, pigments, and vitamins can be removed, leaving mainly protein and phospholipid residue. Further extraction with chloroform-methanol solvents can remove the protein and provide a crude egg lecithin solution. Finally, lecithin can be separated from other contaminants
