Product Description
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic phenolic compound. It is predominantly utilized within the food industry as an antioxidant and preservative to inhibit lipid oxidation in edible oils and fat-containing food products. BHT possesses a low toxicity profile. Owing to its extensive incorporation into numerous consumer goods, widespread exposure among the general population is expected.
