Oil Stability Decoder — Physical Testing + Reporting Service

Home cooks mail in their premium oil bottles (or purchase a test kit with pre-labeled bottles). A specialized lab runs oxidative stability tests (TPTZ, peroxide value, polyphenol content) on each oil under simulated heating conditions (raw, 160°C, 190°C, 240°C). Customers receive a personalized 2-page report showing exactly which polyphenols survive at which temperatures, plus a laminated kitchen card with their oil's 'safe heat ceiling' and recommended uses.

SERVICE

Original Problem

Home cooks lack reliable guidance on how to preserve nutritional value when cooking with premium oils

Home cooks investing in expensive extra virgin olive oil are uncertain whether heating it destroys its health benefits (polyphenols), leading to confusion about when to use it and wasted money on premium products. Current solutions are fragmented across conflicting online sources, cooking blogs, and scientific papers that are difficult to interpret, leaving consumers unable to make confident purchasing and cooking decisions.
