High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, commonly known as BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene), is an organic compound that is widely used as an antioxidant in various industries. It is a derivative of phenol and is characterized by its high stability and effectiveness in preventing oxidation.

Uses

BHT is extensively used in the food industry as a preservative to extend the shelf life of products by preventing the oxidation of fats and oils. It is also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications such as lubricants and plastics to prevent oxidative degradation.

Regulatory

Regulatory bodies such as the FDA and EFSA have established guidelines and permissible limits for the use of BHT in food and other products. Compliance with these regulations is essential for manufacturers to ensure the safety and quality of their products.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of BHT levels in food and environmental samples is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Laboratories utilize high-purity reference materials to accurately measure BHT concentrations and ensure reliable results.

Health Impact

While BHT is generally recognized as safe when used within regulatory limits, excessive exposure can lead to potential health risks. Studies have shown that high doses of BHT may cause liver and kidney damage, and it is important to adhere to established safety guidelines.

Environmental Impact

BHT can persist in the environment and may have adverse effects on aquatic life. It is important to monitor and control the release of BHT into the environment to minimize its ecological impact.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and storage of BHT are essential to ensure safety. Protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be used when handling BHT, and it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition.
