A research team from the Athlone Institute of Technology in Ireland has found that coconut oil treated with enzymes was effective in stopping the growth of cavity-causing bacteria. The enzyme-treatment process simulates what the coconut oil properties would be like if it were digested.
This new discovery is expected to lead to a new approach to dental hygiene products. People who are sensitive to chemical additives may be able to use the treated coconut oil more readily. Current microbial infections are getting more anitbiotic-resistant, which means that scientists will need to find new ways to combat them.
