FAQ
Our special, 100% natural production techniques extract more valuable nutrients from plants. Our optimized products are made using a patent-pending production process, so they are only available as Lipid Legends Optimized oils. The result is high quality oils that not only have a longer shelf life, but are also healthier.

It makes native press oil more heat-stable than refined oil. Your press oil can go to market without refining, which saves the energy and cost of the refinery. The technology was developed at the University of Vienna and is patented.
In standardized frying tests, total polar compounds stayed below 15% after 3 days, while standard oils reached values above 25%. Compared with non-optimized oils, frying stability increased by 40 to 80%. More on our cooking oils page.
No. The optimization is applied to the press oil. The press cake can still go to solvent extraction and refining as before.
No. The benefit lies in quality and cost: the press oil becomes more heat-stable and needs no refining.
Our optimized flaxseed oil and cooking oils are available today. Further oils, including sunflower and rapeseed oil, are in development. Tell us which oil you press and we will assess it for you.
OFS Lipid Legends GmbH is a spin-off of the University of Vienna. Our research is led by Prof. Dr. Marc Pignitter, Professor of Analytical Food Chemistry at the University of Vienna. Meet the team.
Yes. Send us a request via our business contact form and tell us your oil and your application. We will get back to you with samples and technical data.
Frying, baking, ready meals, salad oils, dressings and nutraceutical applications.
Depending on your project, we supply optimized oil or bring the technology into your production, including the required machinery. Tell us what you need and we will propose the right setup.
Oil and fat related problems that have no standard answer: analytical methods that do not exist yet, off-tastes, off-odors or color problems, unwanted compounds such as pesticide residues or mineral oil hydrocarbons, process steps with poor yield, heat stability or energy cost, and side streams that have never been fully characterized. More on our R&D page.
Only what is needed to solve the problem, and only under a confidentiality agreement signed beforehand. Your process stays yours, and so does the solution we build for you.
All oilseeds, nuts and legumes, their oils and their by-products, including raw materials that have never been used industrially before.
You will know quickly, based on our feasibility study.
If your project qualifies for national or international funding, our experts help you apply for funding that can cover 25 to 80% of the project costs.
No. They comply with existing EU food safety frameworks and do not require novel food authorization.
Processing needs about 5x less energy than conventional refining.
They contain twice the antioxidants and up to 60% fewer trans fatty acids.
