Frequently asked by buyers
Can BHT be used in organic food products?

BHT is a synthetic antioxidant and is generally not approved for use in certified organic food products as per organic certification standards.

What is the recommended maximum concentration of BHT in food applications?

Regulatory bodies such as the FSSAI typically allow BHT usage up to 0.02% by weight in food products like edible oils and snacks, but manufacturers should verify limits based on local regulations.

How does BHT improve the shelf life of bakery products?

BHT prevents oxidation of fats and oils in bakery products, reducing rancidity and spoilage which helps maintain freshness and extends shelf life.

Is the BHT powder safe for use in cosmetic formulations?
