About Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)

Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) is an organic compound derived from phenol. It appears as a white to slightly yellow crystalline solid with a faint characteristic odor. BHT is oil-soluble and highly effective at stabilizing products by inhibiting oxidative degradation caused by heat, light, and air exposure.

It works by donating hydrogen atoms to free radicals, thereby interrupting the chain reaction of lipid oxidation. Because of this property, BHT is extensively used in food products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, fuels, plastics, and rubber.
