Butylated hydroxytoluene which is commonly known as BHT, is a synthetic organic compound that is chiefly used as an antioxidant in food, food packaging, petroleum products and rubber manufacturing. BHT acts as a preservative by helping to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils in food products, which causes rancidity and changes in texture, color, and taste. It helps extend the shelf life of foods by reacting with oxygen, free radicals, and other oxidants and halting autoxidation chain reaction. As consumer preference for packaged, processed, and long shelf-life food items increases globally, the demand for food preservatives like BHT is growing steadily.
