Butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT), chemically called 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol (DBPC); butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA) is used as a food antioxidant. These phenol derivatives react with free radicals and slow down the rate of autooxidation that causes changes in the color and flavor of the food.

Butyl hydroxy toluene; It is a white colored and crystalline substance that is well soluble in oils but insoluble in water, and has a boiling point of 265 at 760 mmHg pressure. Although this substance has low activity in vegetable oils such as BHA, when it is used with other antioxidants, its ability to protect the food to which the oil is added is utilized. BHA; While it shows a synergistic effect with BHT, it cannot show a synergistic effect with gallates.
BHA and BHT, which are classified as synthetic antioxidants; They are widely used food additives, extremely soluble in fat and insoluble in water. BHA and BHT; slows down the rancidity in fats, oils and foods containing oil; It prevents the color, aroma or texture changes that may arise from exposure of these products to air in the products where vegetable originated oils such as various grain products, chewing gum, potato chips are used. Apart from these products, butyl hydroxy toluene is also used as a filler in vitamin and mineral additive preparations.
In recent years, people who want to eat healthier foods prefer products containing unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats instead of saturated animal fats. Unfortunately, products containing unsaturated fat are more susceptible to oxidation and deteriorate more easily. In order to prevent this unwanted oxidation process, various technologies (vacuuming, packaging, etc.) are beneficial, but adding antioxidants to the products; It is one of the most effective options for increasing the shelf life of products. Butyl hydroxy toluene, which shows a synergistic effect when used together, gives very good results especially in products containing hazelnuts and hazelnuts.
Butyl hydroxy toluene is used in the plastic, rubber, and oil industry, far greater than its use in food.
BHT used in packaging materials due to its vapor volatility; It penetrates into food from packaging such as BHA. In this application, antioxidants are either directly added to the waxes used to make the waxy inner layer of the packaging or applied as an emulsion on the packaging.
BHT stands for butyl hydroxy toluene and is a synthetic antioxidant that is added to foods to preserve color, odor and aroma in packaged products. This artificial antioxidant, called butyl hydroxy toluene, basically slows down the oxidation process and protects the fat in the food, thus preserving its place on the shelf without spoiling the foods for a long time.
It is known to be widely added to cereals, frozen ready meals, chewing gum, alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages and breads. This preservative, called butyl hydroxy toluene, is often used in combination with another preservative called BHA. Butyl hydroxy toluene and BHA are also used in foods commonly consumed by children. For example, cereal breakfast snacks often contain these ingredients.
Preservatives such as butyl hydroxy toluene may also be indicated on the package by code. Code E321 belongs to the chemical BHT. In one example, traditionally refined coconut oil processed by farmers is less durable than factory processed. The addition of Butyl Hydroxy Toluene (BHT) to coconut oil has been known to reduce its rancidity and increase its durability due to long-term storage. Coconut oil processed by farmers was expected to be stored for up to 3 months with various treatments. The aim of this study is to recommend the use of precise concentration of BHT by farmers to prevent the rancidity of refined coconut oil. The study consisted of three treatments: control, 0.01% and 0.02% BHT addition. Analysis of the three treatments showed a significant difference in the degree of rancidity for the 0.01% and 0.02% BHT addition compared to the control. Therefore, it may be suggested to farmers to add 0.01% BHT treatment to extend the storage life of refined coconut oil. Butyl hydroxy toluene is used in fat-containing products such as breakfast cereals, dry soups, processed meat products and fish products, potato flakes, crackers and snack foods. Butyl hydroxy toluene is a phenolic antioxidant additive used in foods to prevent changes in color, taste and odor caused by oxidation. BHA (butyl hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butyl hydroxytoluene) are phenolic compounds that are often added to foods to protect fats and oils and prevent them from solidifying.
Butyl hydroxy toluene is used to preserve the nutritional level, color, taste and odor of oil-containing, food, cosmetics and packaging products. BHT is also an antioxidant and sold as a nutritional supplement.
Butyl hydroxy toluene has a white powder structure.
BHA and BHT are antioxidants. Oxygen reacts preferably with BHA or BHT instead of fats or oils to protect them from degradation. In addition to oxidizability, BHA and BHT are oil soluble. It is incompatible with ferric salts in both molecules.
