This invention is linked to the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, where the bactericidal, virucidal, parasiticidal and fungicidal properties of the ozonized vegetable oils and fats are considered. The emulsified vegetable oil or fat is driven to react with ozone in a bubbling reactor, covered by a jacket that makes possible to control the reaction's temperature.
