Lipid Legends Triumphs at REGAL Start-up Pitch 2024!

We are thrilled to announce that Lipid Legends, the innovative spin-off from the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna, co-founded by Marc Pignitter from the Institute of Physiological Chemistry, has emerged as the winner of the prestigious REGAL Start-up Pitch 2024 at this year's industry meeting of the food trade! Lipid Legends captivated the judges and audience with their groundbreaking method for producing cold-pressed flaxseed oil with significantly enhanced storage stability, achieved without the use of external antioxidants or stabilizers.

Winning this competition secures Lipid Legends media credits worth €30,000 from REGAL and Pro7Sat1Puls4, providing a significant boost to their business. This recognition underscores the immense technological and economic potential of their innovation. The method not only enhances product quality and shelf life but also supports sustainability by utilizing bioactive compounds from the by-products of oil production.

This victory is a testament to the hard work and vision of the Lipid Legends team, promising a brighter future for the food industry through their sustainable and innovative approach. Congratulations to Lipid Legends for their outstanding achievement!

Pint of Science is an international science festival in which researchers share their latest findings with the general public in a cosy pub. Pint of Science takes scientists out of their laboratories and brings them to cosy local pubs. There, the research work can be explained, the latest results presented and their social dimensions discussed. The event series creates a basis for dialogue and makes science accessible. The festival takes place annually on three evenings in May, this year on 13, 14 and 15 May - all over the world.

Our researcher Marlies Gaider will also give a talk (in German) on 13 May 2024 at 7 pm:

"Eine Reise durch die Welt der Süße"
Place: Cafe Inspection, Theobaldgasse 10,1060 Wien

Sweetness - an irresistible pleasure. But nowadays, chocolate, cakes and soft drinks present us with serious challenges such as overweight and obesity. Sweeteners offer a sugar-reduced alternative, while retaining the sweet flavour. But their influence on our cells remains the subject of intense scientific debate. Can we utilise secondary plant substances with health-promoting properties? And how do our intestinal receptors react to them? Join me on a journey through the world of sweetness, where science and flavour meet.

The persistent danger after landscape fires

Press release Uni Wien media portal from March 26th, 2021

Carbonized plants contain harmful free radicals

Every year, an estimated four percent of the world's vegetated land surface burns, leaving more than 250 megatons of carbonized plants behind. For the first time, a study by the University of Vienna has now recorded elevated concentrations of environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFR) in these charcoals - in some cases even up to five years after the fire. These EPFR may generate reactive substances, which in turn harm plants and living organisms. The research team led by Gabriel Sigmund and Thilo Hofmann analyzed charcoal samples collected from forest, shrubland and grassland fires in different climatic zones. The study is published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment.

Sugar sweetness makes you feel full?

What new taste research reveals

So far, little is known about the extent to which the taste perception of sugar contributes to satiety. A current study by Austrian and German scientists led by Veronika Somoza and Barbara Lieder now provides new insights into the relationships between the sweet taste of sugar, energy intake and hunger satiety regulation. The study was published in the journal "Nutrients".
