2,5-Di-tert-butylhydroquinone

Oil is one of the basic nutrients in human diet, and most foods contain abundant oil. It can be said that human health cannot do without oil, and the quality and safety of oil are closely related to human health. However, the active chemical properties of oils and fats are prone to deterioration due to oxidation and other factors. Oil antioxidants are a type of substance that can prevent or delay the deterioration of oils or fatty foods, extend their shelf life, and tert butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) is a high-quality edible oil antioxidant. The article comprehensively introduces the properties and synthesis of tert butyl hydroquinone, as well as its applications in various fields.

According to the hygiene standard GB2760 (0.4007) for the use of food additives in the People's Republic of China, TBHQ can be used for edible oils, fried foods, dried fish products, biscuits, instant noodles, instant boiled rice, canned dried fruits, pickled meat products, roasted and fried nut foods (supplemented in February 2007), etc. The maximum usage is 0.2g/kg. It is generally recommended to use 0.01~0.02% of the total amount of oil.

 It is soluble in ethanol, acetic acid, ethyl ester, isopropanol, ether, and oils, and is almost insoluble in water (25 ℃,<1%; 95 ℃, 5%). TBHQ is an oil soluble antioxidant that can prevent or delay the oxidation and deterioration of fats in food. As a food additive, TBHQ has been used in more than 20 countries such as the United States. In 1992, China was approved for use in oil and fat containing foods, dried fish products, biscuits, instant noodles, canned oil containing foods, pickled meat products, etc. In the United States and China, the maximum allowable dosage of TBHQ in food is 200ppm
