Moon cake antioxidant TBHQ
TBHQ may volatilize faster than BHT. Therefore, the application of microcapsule technology can solve this problem under high temperature conditions. Using natural antioxidant tea polyphenols, BHA, BHT, and synergistic agent citric acid as the core material,Food antioxidants can be divided into oil-soluble antioxidants and water-soluble antioxidants based on their solubility properties.
There should be no bad taste, smell, or color; Low concentration can be applied; If added to oil, it is fat soluble and can still maintain effective antioxidant capacity after processing; Need to be fast, effective, and cost-effective.
TBHQ, also known as tert butyl hydroquinone, is a phenolic oil soluble antioxidant. TBHQ has high efficiency and stability.The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows TBHQ to be used alone or in combination (with BHA or BHT) for oil or fatty foods, including volatile essential oils, with a maximum allowable dosage of 200PPM.
The national hygiene standard number is GB276090.4007.
The safety of TBHQ has been comprehensively reported, and its acute toxicity belongs to low toxicity level. It has not been found that it accumulates in the body tissue and has no significant impact on the development and genetics of rats, and no carcinogenic mutations have been observed.
TBHQ have solved the problem of rancidity in oil-rich foods. TBHQ, BHA, BHT, PG, etc. are all free radical absorbents that can transform free radicals into stable products and block free radical chain reactions. In the study, it was also found that the antioxidant effect of TBHQ is 5-7 times that of other antioxidants, because their stability is different after reacting with peroxides.
