TBHQ (Cat No.:I002487), or start-butyl hydroquinone, is an antioxidant widely used as a food preservative. Derived from hydroquinone, it prevents oxidation of fats and oils, thereby extending the shelf life of processed foods. TBHQ acts as a free radical scavenger, inhibiting rancidity and the development of off-flavors. It is particularly effective in preserving the stability of oils and fatty foods. Within regulatory limits, TBHQ is considered safe for consumption. Its use helps maintain the quality and freshness of various food products available in the market.
