Method Of Application
TBHQ antioxident is readily soluble at use levels in fats& oils and in a number of solvents. It can be applied by the basic technigues in general use for applying antioxidants to fats & fatty foods.
The fundamental rule to follow in applying antioxidant to food products is to ensure that the antioxidants are throughly dissolved and dispersed in the fat or oil portions. Since only small amounts of anitioxidants are required for protection of food, the method of incorporationg the antioxidant may determine the sucess of stabilization. Choice of method depend on the product, processing methods and available equipment. TBHQ antioxidant can be applied by one or more of the following techniques:
-
DIRECT METHOD : A fat, oil or wax can be stabilzed by heating 60° C minimum non-aerated agitation sufficiently to dissolve the TBHQ. The agitation should be continued for additional 20 minutes to ensure uniform distribution.
-
CONCENTRATE METHOD : Concentrated solution of antioxidant can be prepared by dissolving the TBHQ in a small quantity of fat at 90 ° C 120 ° C. The hot concentrate or a pre-dissolved antioxidant formulation can be introduced into the main bod of fat , directly or by metering. Agitation is required for thorough distribution.
-
PROPORTIONATE METHOD : TBHQ or antioxidant formulation may be proportioned or metered into a pipeline through which fat or oil to be stabilized is being pumped. A stainless steel proportioning pump should be used to meter the desired amount of antioxidant into the fat or oil. The sucess of this technique depend o the turbulence created within the pipeline being sufficent to thoroughly disperse the antioxidant.
-
SPRAY METHOD : Food products such as nuts can be sprayed directly with a dilute antioxidant solution. The concentration of the solution is adjusted t provide the desired amount of antioxidant and to ensure uniform deposition on the surface of the products.
-
OTHER METHOD : Other innovative means could be used to apply TBHQ antioxidant to various food products. For instance, meat products such as sausages may be effectively stabilized by blending the antioxidant formulation into the sausages along with the seasoning mix.
