Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), dibutyl hydroxytoluene, is an antioxidant derived from phenol. BHT is discovered in bacteria such as green algae. It is produced by reacting 4-methyl phenol with 2-methyl propene for industrial purposes. BHT is primarily utilized as a food preservative due to its antioxidant properties. Furthermore, it prevents oxidation in fuel and lubricant additive fluids utilized in industry. This is attributed to its ability to prevent the oxidation of fats, oils, and other substances, thereby developing the shelf life and preserving the quality of products.
It is known for its stability under various conditions, making it a reliable choice for preserving the quality of products. Its cost-effectiveness further contributes to its widespread use in food, plastic, and cosmetics industries, where preventing oxidation and maintaining product integrity are crucial factors. Furthermore, BHT's versatility as an antioxidant, protecting against oxidative damage, makes it valuable in various formulations across different sectors.
