Production Process and Application of TBHQ

TBHQ, also known as Tert-Butylhydroquinone, is a food additive that is a synthetic chemical widely used in the food industry to extend the shelf life of foods and prevent oxidation.

TBHQ is produced by reacting hydroquinone with tert-butyl alcohol to produce TBHQ, a process that uses advanced technology and strict controls to ensure the high purity and stability of the product.

The multiple uses of TBHQ in the food industry are mainly for preventing the oxidation of fats and oils during food processing and storage, thus extending the shelf life of food products. It can also improve the color, taste and texture of food products and reduce rancidity and spoilage of food products. TBHQ is widely used in fried foods (such as French fries, fried chicken, etc.), bread, dried fruits, potato chips, meat products, condiments and other food products.

TBHQ is a safe food additive that is recognized by the World Health Organization, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Food Safety Authority and the National Health and Family Planning Commission of China, among others. It has been widely used and has been proven to have no adverse effects on humans. Therefore, TBHQ can provide better production and storage conditions for the food industry, extend the shelf life of food, and ensure the quality and food safety of food.
