Tbhq

TBHQ is the synthetic food grade antioxidant, which was developed to be used in stabilizing various vegetable oils, fats and food against oxidative deterioration, thus retarding development of rancidity in these products and extending their storage life.

Tocopherol, a natural antioxidant present in vegetable oils is often inadequate for oxidative stability. Even external addition of Tocopherol provide little or on increase in the stability and hence needs synthetic antioxidant.

TBHQ exhibits an outstanding stabilizing effect in unsaturated fats, particularly in Polyunsaturated vegetable oils, and inedible animal fats.

TBHQ can also be advantageous in essential oils, nuts, buffer fat and food packaging material.

Thus, TBHQ provides a healthier and most favored option for preserving food products.
