Butylated hydroxyanisole, referred to as BHA. Its appearance is white granular material with a specific odor of phenols and a pungent smell. The melting point varies with the mixing ratio. BHT has monophenol-type volatility and is slightly volatile in pig fat at 61°C. Almost non-hygroscopic. It is quite stable to heat, and the color becomes darker when exposed to light for a long time. It is relatively stable under weakly alkaline conditions.
Butylated hydroxyanisole is relatively stable to heat and is not easily destroyed under weakly alkaline conditions, so it is a good antioxidant. The antioxidant effect of BHA on animal fats is more effective than on unsaturated vegetable oils. Especially suitable for bakery products using animal fat. BHA has the property of changing color due to interaction with alkaline earth metal ions, so iron and copper containers should be avoided when using it. Mixing chelating citric acid or tartaric acid with this product not only synergizes, but also prevents coloration caused by metal ions. BHA has a certain volatility and can be distilled by water vapor, so it is easily lost in high-temperature products, especially in boiled and fried products. BHA can also be used in food packaging materials.
