Tertiary Butylhydroquinone Powder

Tertiary Butylhydroquinone Powder, abbreviated as TBHQ, is a synthetic oil-soluble phenolic antioxidant with molecular formula C₁₀H₁₄O₂. It appears as white or off-white crystalline fine powder with a slight characteristic odor. It dissolves easily in oils and organic solvents, slightly soluble in water, and features good thermal stability, suitable for high-temperature processing conditions such as frying and baking. Our product adopts strict synthesis and purification process, high purity, low impurity content and stable batch quality, complying with FCC and GB food additive standards. It is widely used in edible vegetable oil, animal fat, fried snacks, nuts, baked goods and feed oil. Strict quality inspection is carried out for each batch before shipment. Standard export package is 25kg fiber drum with inner plastic bag, pallet loading is optional. It should be sealed and stored in cool, dry and dark warehouse, separated from oxidants and strong acids. We can supply COA, MSDS and support customized labels for overseas buyers. Stable supply can satisfy long-term bulk purchase from food factories and trading companies globally.

TBHQ powder is a high-efficiency oil-soluble antioxidant specially for lipid systems. It can capture free radicals generated during fat oxidation and block chain oxidation reaction of unsaturated fatty acids. It inhibits oil rancidity effectively, delays oxidative deterioration of grease-rich food, and retains original flavor of finished products. It has excellent heat resistance, keeps stable under frying and high-temperature sterilization environment, better than many common antioxidants. It can be used alone or compounded with BHA, BHT to achieve synergistic antioxidant effect and reduce total dosage. It also has mild antibacterial performance, restraining growth of mold and yeast in oily food. It is widely added into vegetable oil, lard, instant noodles, potato chips, nut products and oil-containing feed. It will not change the color and taste of oil when added within legal dosage range. Its performance is greatly affected by light and oxygen, so sealed storage is necessary. It is a cost-effective antioxidant widely recognized in global oil processing industry.

With proper dosage and standardized adding method, TBHQ powder delivers outstanding anti-rancid effect for various oil and fat products. For edible vegetable oil and animal fat, it slows down peroxide value rising obviously, prevents acid value exceeding standard, and greatly extends storage time. For fried food, nuts and baked snacks, it avoids off-flavor caused by fat oxidation during shelf life, keeps fresh taste and improves product acceptability. It maintains stable activity under high-temperature frying process, which fits the production characteristics of fried food factories. When compounded with other antioxidants, its anti-oxidation effect can be further enhanced to reduce additive cost. The recommended maximum dosage is 0.2g/kg calculated on oil content, users must follow local food regulations. Long-term exposure to light and air will reduce its activity, so sealed packaging and dark storage are required. It helps downstream manufacturers reduce product spoilage loss, stabilize finished product quality and meet international food safety requirements.
