Wheat germ oil refined extracted Food Ph. Eur.
Gustav Heess
The production process for our wheat germ oil begins with the ripening of the wheat until it has reached the optimum moisture content. Following the wheat harvest, the grains are processed to separate the valuable germ from them. The resulting oil is then refined and filtered several times before being subjected to comprehensive quality controls. These checks are carried out both in our own laboratory, which is certified to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, and by external analysts.
In order to guarantee consistently high quality and reliable deliveries, we rely on long-term partnerships with our suppliers. Our long-established supply chain enables our producers to focus on quality assurance. Our refined wheat germ oil is always produced in accordance with the current guidelines of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and is in high demand, particularly in the pharmaceutical and food sectors, due to its high purity and quality.

Sustainability & responsibility
Wheat is cultivated worldwide. Genetically modified wheat is becoming more and more widespread and in Germany, too. There have already been field trials with genetically modified wheat. We refrain from genetically manipulated varieties and have therefore been working with farmers from China for many years. They rely on GMO-free wheat varieties and provide the basis for our refined extracted wheat germ oil Food Ph. Eur., which we refine ourselves in Europe.
