High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA).

Overview

Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) is a synthetic, waxy solid petrochemical known for its antioxidant properties. It is commonly used as a preservative in various industries including food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, rubber, and petroleum products.

Uses

BHA is widely used to prevent rancidification of edible fats and fat-containing foods, thereby extending their shelf life. It is also used in animal feed, food packaging, and various medicinal products such as cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), isotretinoin, lovastatin, and simvastatin.

Regulatory

BHA has been assigned the E number E320 and is regulated by various health and safety authorities. It is listed as a carcinogen by the state of California and is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Monitoring

Monitoring the levels of BHA in food and environmental samples is crucial to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. High-purity reference materials are essential for accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

BHA has been shown to cause papillomas and squamous cell carcinomas of the forestomach in rats and Syrian golden hamsters when administered in high doses. However, usual low intake levels of BHA in humans show no significant association with an increased risk of cancer.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

The environmental impact of BHA on wildlife is still under investigation, but its widespread use as a preservative raises concerns about its potential effects on ecosystems.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and storage of BHA are essential to ensure safety. Protective equipment should be used to prevent exposure, and storage conditions should be controlled to maintain the integrity of the compound.

Regulation

BHA is regulated by various international and national health and safety authorities. Compliance with these regulations is essential to ensure the safe use of BHA in various applications.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for BHA, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis. Our products meet the highest industrial standards and are tested according to international quality requirements.
