Under the Science Hub project undertaken in collaboration with ENERGOMAT, Dr Anna Jasińska from the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection at the University of Łódź (UŁ), together with two second-year students of Microbial Biotechnology, Dominika Antosiak and Agnieszka Sobieszek, completed research aimed at determining the antimicrobial properties of ozonated OZONEA oils.

OZONEA preparations based on ozonated olive oil and linseed oil have been available for sale for several years. The company, wishing to expand its range of preparations, asked representatives of the Institute of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Immunology at the UŁ to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of other potentially useful oils. 

The aim of the project was to determine the antimicrobial activity of OZONEA preparations. The activity of more than 130 preparations was evaluated. 

The analyses carried out made it possible to select several preparations that significantly reduced the growth of E. coli bacteria and C. albicans fungi. These micro-organisms make up the microbiome of humans and animals, but in immunosuppressed situations, they are
