Antioxidant properties of TBHQ

Terbutylhydroquinone has good antioxidant effect. It has no bad taste and odor when added to any oil and oil-containing food. Good oil solubility, low toxicity, low dosage, it belongs to safe A(1) products, the antioxidant capacity is greater than propyl gallate (PG), 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol (BHT), tert-butyl-p-hydroxyanisole (BHA); added to food without bad odor. Its biggest feature is that it does not color in the presence of iron ions, and it also has anti-mold and anti-bacterial effects that other antioxidants do not have, and the antioxidant effect of its compound products is even better.

In the peanut oil were added 0.02% or 0.03% of TBHQ, and then kept at 97.8 ℃ for an appropriate period of time, so that the peroxide value are up to 100 mmol, their antioxidant capacity, i.e., peroxide stabilization value (in terms of hours) plus 0.02% of the control samples of 3 times, and add 0.03% of the control sample of 4 times.

In homemade sausages, 0.015% of TBHQ was added according to the fat content and stored in a plastic bag at 20°C. The peroxide values were determined after 15 and 30 d, respectively. The peroxide value of the TBHQ-added sausage was only 0.061 after 30 d, while that of the control sample rose to 0.160 (peroxide value of more than 0.10 in meat products is a criterion for spoilage).

The addition of TBHQ to the palm oil of fried instant noodles significantly reduced the peroxide and carbonyl values of fried instant noodles during storage, thus extending the shelf life of fried instant noodles.

In addition, TBHQ also has good anti-bacterial, mold and yeast effects
