Butylated hydroxyanisole, also known as Butylhydroxyanisole (BHA), serves as a valuable antioxidant extensively employed in the food industry to combat food spoilage and oxidation. This synthetic phenolic compound consists of two isomers, namely 2-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole. With a long-standing history of use, Butylated hydroxyanisole finds application in various food products, including fats, oils, and baked goods. Its inclusion in studies enables the determination of food product shelf life and the evaluation of antioxidant efficacy. Moreover, Butylated hydroxyanisole proves beneficial in examining the impact of food additives and preservatives on overall food quality. Acting as an antioxidant, Butylated hydroxyanisole operates by scavenging free radicals and impeding the oxidation process of fats and oils. By forming a protective layer on the surface of food products, it effectively hinders the oxidation of fats and oils. Additionally, Butylated hydroxyanisole inhibits the formation of detrimental compounds such as hydroperoxides, which have the potential to induce food spoilage.
