in water: @ 20°C 60%<br />

FUNCTION IN FOODS: Prevents oxidative rancidity development in lipid-containing foods by terminating free radical<br />

formation during autoxidation of unsaturated lipids<br />

ALTERNATIVES: BHA; BHT; TBHQ; octyl gallate; dodecyl gallate<br />

TECHNOLOGY OF USE IN FOODS:<br />

Heat-sensitive and decomposes at 148°C; therefore, not good for foods subjected to heat treatment.<br />

Also poorly soluble in lipids and water; can form coloured complexes with metal ions, and affect the<br />

appearance of food<br />

SYNERGISTS: BHA; BHT<br />

FOOD SAFETY ISSUES: Not subjected to great criticism over safety<br />

LEGISLATION: USA: UK:<br />

Not allowed to use in combination with TBHQ. approved<br />

For general used, FDA – 0.02% and USDA 0.01% alone or in<br />

combination with BHT or BHA by weight of lipid portion of food. EUROPE:<br />

Special applications include: listed<br />

Chewing gum base, 0.1%<br />

Non-alcoholic beverages, 0.1% CANADA:<br />

Margarine, 0.1% approved<br />
