Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the production of an ozonized olive oil with a controlled degree of ozonization, wherein said method comprises at least one step of putting the olive oil into contact with ozone in the presence of water.
Claims16
A method for preparing ozonized olive oil comprising:
- (i) preparing a pre-dispersion composition comprising a quantity of water (Q2) dispersed in a vegetable oil, wherein the quantity Q2 is expressed as a percentage calculated by dividing the volume of water used in the pre-dispersion composition by the total volume of the pre-dispersion composition and multiplying by 100, and wherein Q2 is from 35% to 60%;
- (ii) mixing the pre-dispersion composition with olive oil, wherein the amount of the pre-dispersion composition added to the olive oil is such that a dispersion of water in olive oil is obtained comprising 0.5 to 15 of water, wherein this percentage is calculated by dividing the volume of water used in the pre-dispersion composition by the total volume of the dispersion of water in olive oil and multiplying by 100;
- and
- (iii) bubbling a quantity Q1 of ozone into the dispersion of water in olive oil to form an ozonized olive oil.

A method for preparing ozonized olive oil comprising:
- (i) preparing an initial dispersion of water in olive oil, wherein the step (i) comprises:
- preparing a pre-dispersion composition comprising water dispersed in vegetable oil, the vegetable oil comprising oleic acid (C18:1) and linoleic acid (C18:2), wherein the total amount of water (Q2) in the pre-dispersion has a value of 35-60% by volume relative to the total volume of the pre-dispersion;
- and
- mixing the pre-dispersion composition with olive oil to obtain the initial dispersion;
- and
- (ii) bubbling a quantity Q1 of ozone and water into the initial dispersion of water in olive oil to form the ozonized olive oil;
- wherein the total amount of water added during steps (i) and (ii) is such that the amount of water in the ozonized olive oil is 0.5 to 15% by volume.
