ABSTRACT

Ozone is a highly effective oxidant. In its gaseous form, ozone is not a stable compound; however, stability and effectiveness are sustained for a long period, when stored in vegetable oils. In this study, solutions are prepared containing a combination of ozone nanobubbles, vegetable oils and emulsifiers. Throughout the study, the antibacterial effectiveness and stability of ozone nanobubble carried in liposomes and their solutions with thymol are tested on strains of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922). Findings of the study suggest that the stability range of the ozone nanobubbles carried in liposomes extend to a 1-year period. In addition, the antibacterial effectiveness of this structure, both with and without thymol, is tested to be substantially high on the sample bacteria. These ozone structures/solutions can be stored at +4 degrees for an extended period of time compared to ozone’s possible stability range as a sole trioxygen molecule. Results of the study highlight the possibility of extending the storage/stability range even further.

摘要

臭氧是一种高效的氧化剂。气态的臭氧不是稳定的化合物。然而，当储存在植物油中时，稳定性和有效性可以保持很长时间。在这项研究中，制备的溶液包含臭氧纳米气泡、植物油和乳化剂的组合。在整个研究过程中，在金黄色葡萄球菌(ATCC 25923) 和大肠杆菌菌株上测试了脂质体中携带的臭氧纳米气泡及其与百里酚溶液的抗菌效力和稳定性(ATCC 25922)。研究结果表明，脂质体中携带的臭氧纳米气泡的稳定性范围可延长至 1 年。此外，经测试，无论是否含有百里酚，这种结构的抗菌效果对样品细菌都非常高。与臭氧作为唯一的三氧分子的可能稳定性范围相比，这些臭氧结构/溶液可以在 +4 度下储存更长的时间。研究结果突出了进一步扩展存储/稳定性范围的可能性。
