Application


  • Quantitative analysis of residual butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole in Salmo salar, milk, and butter by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.: This study provides a quantitative analysis of residual 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) in various food products. The research highlights the presence and concentration of these antioxidants in fish, milk, and butter, demonstrating their widespread use in food preservation (Galal et al., 2024).

  • The key factors of solid nanodispersion for promoting the bioactivity of abamectin.: This research investigates the use of BHT in solid nanodispersions to enhance the bioactivity of abamectin, a widely used insecticide. The study identifies key factors that improve the stability and effectiveness of the formulation, suggesting applications in agricultural biotechnology (Ding et al., 2024).

Questions

  1. Is it possible that p-cresol could be coming from this compound? Not sure if the tert butyl and methyl groups could hydrolyse in alkaline or acidic conditons. Trying to figure out how p-cresol gets into our wastewater and would appreciate any advice!

    1 answer
    1. The purity of the product is not specified and any possible impurities are not tested for, aside from heavy metals and residual solvents. P-cresol may be present as an impurity or a reaction product, depending on the use of the material. Ideally, the product nor its impurities should be entering a wastewater stream - any waste generated from the use of this material should be collected and disposed of as chemical waste. As per section 6 of the SDS, this product should not be entering drains.
