PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

description

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) appears as a white, beige or slightly yellow waxy solid with an aromatic odour and a slightly bitter-burning taste. BHA is a synthetic food antioxidant that prevents oils, fats and shortenings from oxidative deterioration and rancidity. It is also a chemical preservative in animal drugs, animal feeds, and related products.
