Tertiary Butyl Hydroquinone (TBHQ) is a synthetic food-grade antioxidant, used in stabilizing various vegetable oils, fats, and food against oxidative deterioration, thus retarding the development of rancidity in these products and extending their storage life.TBHQ is Mainly used as an inhibiter for polyvinyl chloride. In the food industry, it is used as an antioxidation for vegetable oil and fat, roasted food, fried food, and meat products. It is also used as a stabilizer for insecticide, as well as an intermediate for dye and pharmaceuticals.
TBHQ is a highly effective preservative for unsaturated vegetable oils and many edible animal fats. It does not cause discoloration even in the presence of iron and does not change the flavor or odor of the material to which it is added. It can be combined with other preservatives such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). As a food additive, its E number is E319, where it is used as a preservative. It is added to a wide range of foods, with the highest limit (1000 mg/kg) permitted for frozen fish and fish products. Its primary advantage is enhancing storage life.
