Recently we have provided some great videos on how to create ozonated olive oil. Link HERE
We also demonstrated a method we believe is substandard. Link HERE
This latest video shows the potential hazards of creating ozonated olive oil. The production of ozonated olive oil can be simple, and safe. However, there is an exothermic reaction that takes place during the creation of ozonated olive oil. If the reaction between ozone and the olive oil is fast enough that heat cannot be dissipated there is a danger of overheating the oil. This video demonstrates this effect.
While this video is dramatic and shows the potential pitfalls of creating ozonated olive oil keeping this process cool would have been simple. Placing the reactor in a bucket of water would have maintained temperature easily. Also, slowing down the ozone reaction by producing a lower concentration of ozone would have been easy.
It would be our suggestion to slow the reaction rates sufficiently that the process does not create excessive heat. If the reaction needs external cooling, we can safely assume that the temperature of the oil near the diffuser is much warmer and potentially degrading the quality of the final product. Therefore, we suggest limiting ozone concentration and flow to maintain a reasonable temperature on the reactor while still completing the process in a relatively short period of time.
We do also sell ozonated olive oil ready to use. Click HERE for info on the products we sell.
