Ozonated Oil: From Science to Quality Assurance

Ozonated oil, also known as triozonide oil, is produced by introducing high-purity ozone gas into vegetable oil. The ozone reacts with unsaturated fatty acids to form stable ozonides, which slowly release active oxygen during use, providing broad-spectrum antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-itch, and wound-healing effects.

In medicine and care applications, ozonated oil is widely used for skin infections, wound healing, and gynecological treatments. Its main advantages are:

l Broad-spectrum antimicrobial – effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses

l High safety – no resistance development and low irritation

l Sustained release – stable ozonides for long-lasting effects

l Easy application – suitable for various patient groups

However, the therapeutic effect depends on ozone content and purity. If the ozone concentration is below 10 g/L, its sterilization efficacy drops sharply. Poor process control can also lead to harmful impurities such as nitrogen oxides.

Quality Control in the Production Process

In actual production, the process generally involves:

Oxygen concentration – high-purity oxygen from an oxygen concentrator.

Ozone generation – oxygen fed into the ozone generator to produce high-concentration ozone gas.

Mixing reaction – ozone delivered via ozone-resistant tubing into the oil mixing tank for full reaction.

Exhaust treatment – excess ozone processed through an oil mist filter and ozone destructor for safety and environmental compliance.

Cooling circulation – water-cooled systems maintain optimal reaction temperature for ozone stability.
