BHT

BENIFITS :

is a synthetic antioxidant commonly used to prevent the oxidation of
fats and oils in food products, cosmetics, and industrial applications. It
helps extend the shelf life of products by preventing them from going
rancid due to exposure to oxygen.

• Physical Properties :

• Appearance: BHT is typically a white, crystalline solid.

• Odor: It has a faint, characteristic odor.

• Stability: BHT is stable under normal conditions but decomposes
  when exposed to high temperatures or strong oxidizers.

• Thermal Stability:

• BHT is thermally stable up to a certain point, which makes it effective in
  food processing and other industrial applications where heat is involved.
  

  Applications:
  

• It is widely used in food items like cereals, snack foods, butter, and
  chewing gum. It’s also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and even
  in fuels, rubber, and plastics as a preservative.
