BHT

Specialty Definition: BHT

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

BHT is the common abbreviation for butylatedated hydroxytoluene, a fat-soluble compound used as an antioxidant food additive and as an antioxidant in rubber and petroleum products. Among its many names, it is also known as 2,6-Bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methylphenol and has the chemical formula C15H24O / C6H2(OH)(CH3)(C(CH3)3)2.

BHT was patented in 1947 and received approval of the Food and Drug Administration for use as a food additive and preservative in 1954. BHT is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). BHT reacts with free radicals, slowing the rate of autoxidation in food, preventing changes in the food's color, odor, and taste.
