Butyl Hydroxy Toluene
We are renowned as one of the legendary suppliers of food grade butyl hydroxy toluene in the market. White crystalline solid in appearance, our BHT exhibits exceptional purity and stability. The antioxidant activity of butyl hydroxy toluene can be transferred to baked products if it is used as an antioxidant in the shortenings used in their manufacturing. BHT acts as a synergist with BHA and mixtures of these antioxidants are commonly used for stabilizing fats and oils as given weight of the mixture imparts a greater stability to the fat or oil than would the same weight of BHT or BHA if used individually.

BHT is a particularly good antioxidant for stabilizing meat, fish and bone meals. BHT may be used, either alone or in combination with BHA, to stabilize edible tallows and fats, fish and fish liver oils, vitamins and essential oils.

The maximum usage levels weight % of fat or oil as permissible by FDA and USDA are 0.02 and 0.01 respectively. Besides, we are celebrated as one of the prime butylated hydroxytoluene manufacturers.
