A renowned Researcher at the University of Vienna, Prof. Marc Pignitter is at the forefront of innovation in the field of vegetable oils. His groundbreaking work has led to the development of a unique linseed oil characterized by an extended shelf life, improved oxidative stability, a more pleasant taste profile and a wealth of natural antioxidants.
Prof. Pignitter, often affectionately referred to as the "King of Oils", has managed to efficiently transfer bioactive compounds from linseed into the oil, made possible by a sustainable and natural production process. This innovation, which also utilizes the side streams of oil production, was crowned with a patent and marks a turning point in the industry. However, he's vision is not limited to flaxseed oil.
He leads a team dedicated to optimizing other oils, such as sunflower and rapeseed oil, with the aim of increasing the quality and health benefits of these oils. His transition from academic research to founding Lipid Legends reflects his passion and commitment to applying scientific knowledge to practical, everyday products.
