Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)
-Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) has been used since 1947 as a common
antioxidant in rubber and petroleum products, and, more recently, in plastic products. ... This “preservative”, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is an antioxidant. Which means it stops oxygen molecules from reacting with the food the BHT is on. ...
When the food oxidates, and decays it often changes colour and tastes bad, but this process is lengthened by the BHT. The BHT works as an opposite of a catalyst, slowing down reaction time. ... Without the BHT our cereal would oxidate and therefore go bad within a few days.
