Application
Butylated hydroxyanisole is a fat-soluble antioxidant and is suitable for fatty foods and fat-rich foods. Due to its good thermal stability, it can be used under frying or baking conditions. In addition, butylhydroxyanisole Chemicalbook ether has a strong antioxidant effect on animal fats, but a poor antioxidant effect on unsaturated vegetable fats. Butylated hydroxyanisole can stabilize the pigment of raw beef and inhibit the oxidation of ester compounds.
Butylated hydroxyanisole can be used as a feed antioxidant and also has antibacterial effects. BHA dosage of 250mg/kg can inhibit the production of aflatoxin, and 200mg/kg BHA can completely inhibit the growth of spores such as poisonous enzymes and Aspergillus niger that grow in food and feed.
Storage
2-8°C.
