| Abstract: | Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT; IUPAC name: 4-methyl-2,6-ditertiarybutylphenol) is a monohydric phenolic antioxidant and used in food to enhance the antioxidants capacity while its excretion process is slow in experimental animals after consumption (Burdock, 2005). Its chemical structure is illustrated in Fig. 3.3.1. It is a white crystalline solid with a faint aromatic odour, having a melting point of 70°C. BHT is sparingly soluble in water (1.1 mg/L 20°C) and completely soluble in ethanol and fatty oils (EFSA, 2016). [excerpt] |
