BUTYLATED HYDROXYANISOLE (BHA)
A synthetic phenolic antioxidant Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) is a commonly used fat soluble food preservative since 1947, with broad biological activities. It prevents spoilage by reacting with oxygen. It slows development of off-flavours, odours and colour changes caused by oxidation. It protects animals against radiation and the acute toxicity of various xenobiotics and mutagens.
