FAQ

FAQ about OXYGUARD® Linseed oil with evening primrose oil virgin

Why does linseed oil sometimes taste bitter?

Due to growing conditions in the harvest year, there may be variations in taste and colour. A bitterness typical of the product may occur, which may increase somewhat during storage. A special peptide called cyclolinopeptide E, which is completely harmless to health, is responsible for the formation of the bitter taste.

Where do the white streaks in the linseed oil come from?

Our linseed oil is gently pressed using the OXYGUARD® process in the absence of light, oxygen and heat. It is then filtered only once. In this way, a large number of important fatty substances are retained. Depending on the temperature, these appear as white streaks or white film in the bottle. They are of high health value and do not mean a reduction in quality.

Which oil is best for frying?

Rapunzel coconut and frying oil are all wonderfully suitable for frying, baking and deep-frying. These frying and deep-frying fats have the decisive advantage in the hot kitchen of remaining stable even at high temperatures and not developing any substances that are harmful to health. They are tasteless and have a long shelf life. Rapunzel frying oil is pressed from 100% high oleic sunflower seeds from controlled organic cultivation, without external heat input. It contains a high content of oleic acid, which makes it particularly suitable for baking, frying and deep-frying at high temperatures.

What do streaks in the oil mean?

Streaks in the oil or on the bottom of the bottle are natural components of the seeds, so-called secondary plant substances and seed components. This is not a detriment to quality.

What temperatures are used during the pressing process of linseed and hemp oil?

Pressing takes place without the addition of heat and at low pressure, resulting in temperatures tested below 40°C for linseed and hemp oil. As a result, the yield is lower, but the quality is significantly higher. Yields are between 20-35 % for hemp and 25-40 % for linseed.
