Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 found this in my archives: Professor Zille of Port Elizabeth University carried out further studies on the anti-bacterial effects of Jojoba oil and the results were presented at a Coshem Congress held at Mintek. Tests at Michigan University showed that five of the most common skin bacteria plus certain skin fungi couldn't survive in Jojoba oil. Studies on Jojoba oil at the University of Michigan supports the conclusion that 5 of the most common bacteria, including staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosus as well as the fungus candida albicans were not capable of growing in Jojoba oil. The medicinal working of Jojoba oil was studied at the Pharmaceutical Department at the University of Port Elizabeth and found that Jojoba oil destroys the bacteria staphylococcus and pseudomonas within 1 hour and 15 minutes.

It's a pretty resistent bacteria so I'm sure my teacher would be blown away to see something naural kill it. I'll let you know.

Bacteria can't grow in jojoba (like giving them jojoba instead of agar in you dish). There is no energy for them to grow. That is one reason why jojoba has an almost indefinite shelf life. But I don't think jojoba can be called " antibiotic " like penicillin for exemple. Bella from Tel Aviv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'm testing on TSA plates with agar, I first grow the bacteria as a lawn and there will only be a drop of jojoba on a small sterile disk of paper and I measure the zone of inhibition around them. I'm not putting jojoba oil in a blank petri dish. Just to clarify.
