Assessment of the Physicochemical Quality Indicators and Microbiological Effects of Brazilian Ozonized Vegetable Oils

The study of quality indicators in the process of obtaining ozonized vegetable oils is useful for monitoring the ozonation reaction. The Brazilian oils “dendê”, soy, corn, rice and sunflower were studied, all of them were ozonated applying different doses of ozone. Ozonized oils were evaluated by determining the physicochemical indexes of peroxide, acidity, iodine and density in addition viscosity, fatty acid composition and microbiological activity were determined. The results showed that of the five ozonized oils evaluated, “dendê” oil exhibited a higher peroxide index, approximate...
