OLIVE OIL OZONIDE AND ITS FUNGICIDAL QUALITY

Abstract

The requirements which a pathogenic fungicide must satisfy for use on human skin or tissue are pointed out. The ozonide of olive oil was prepared and examined in these respects with fairly satisfactory results. Changes in physical and chemical constants produced by ozone treatment of olive oil are given.Certain qualities of the ozonide with regard to its fungicidal effect for ringworm are discussed.
