Butylated hydroxyanisole Usage And Synthesis
Description Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is an antioxidant widely used in food. Because it is contained in pastry, it can induce sensitization in caterers.
Chemical Properties BHA and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are monohydric phenolic antioxidants that, prior to their introduction and acceptance in the food industry, were used to protect petroleum against oxidative degumming. Chemically, BHA is a mixture of two isomers, 3-tertiary-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (90%) and 2-tertiary-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (10%). Both BHA and BHT assert a good carry-through effect, although BHA is slightly better than BHT in this respect. BHT is, however, more effective in suppressing oxidation of animal fats than vegetable oils. Among its multiple applications, BHA is particularly useful in protecting the flavors and color of essential oils and is considered the most effective of all food-approved antioxidants for this application. BHA is particularly effective in controlling the oxidation of short-chain fatty acids, such as those found in coconut and palm kernel oils that are used typically in cereal and confectionary products.
Chemical Properties white or light yellow waxy solid with an
Chemical Properties Log Kow 5. 3. Values above 3.0 are likely to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms
Chemical Properties Butylated hydroxyanisole occurs as a white or almost white crystalline powder or a yellowish-white waxy solid with a faint, characteristic aromatic odor.
Occurrence BHA is not known to occur as a natural product.
Uses BHA (butylated hydroxy anisole) is a preservative with anti-oxidant capabilities, not to be confused with beta hydroxy acids (BHAs).
Uses Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) is an antioxidant that imparts stability to fats and oils and should be added before oxidation has started. It is a mixture of 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and 2-tertbutyl-4-hydroxyanisole. In direct addition, the fat or oil is heated to 60–70°C and the BHA is added slowly under vigorous agitation. The maximum concentration is 0.02% based on the weight of the fat or oil. It may protect the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E. It is used singly or in combination with other antioxidants. It is used in cereals, edible fat, vegetable oil, confectionary products, and rice.
Uses Butylated Hydroxyanisole is an antioxidant consisting of a mixture of two isomers of tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole. Butylated Hydroxyanisole is used in food preservation as it antioxidant properties pre vent food from becoming rancid. Butylated Hydroxyanisoleas is also used in animal feed, petroleum products, and cosmetics.
Uses Antioxidant and preservative, especially in foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals; also rubber and petroleum products.
Definition A mixture of 2- and 3-tert-4-methoxyphenol.
Production Methods Prepared by the reaction of p-methoxyphenol with isobutene.
Aroma threshold values Detection: 3 ppm
General Description White, beige or slightly yellow waxy solid with an aromatic odor and a slightly bitter burning taste.
Air & Water Reactions Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile Butylated hydroxyanisole degrades with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Exhibits antioxidant properties and synergism with acids, BHT, propyl gallate, hydroquinone, methionine, lecithin and thiodipropionic acid. Butylated hydroxyanisole exhibits antioxidant properties as a scavenger of free radicals. Butylated hydroxyanisole is incompatible with oxidizing agents and ferric salts.
Hazard Toxic by ingestion. Use in foods restricted; consult FDA regulations.
Fire Hazard Butylated hydroxyanisole is combustible.
Pharmaceutical Applications Butylated hydroxyanisole is an antioxidant with some antimicrobial properties. It is used in a wide range of cosmetics, foods, and pharmaceuticals. When used in foods, it is used to delay or prevent oxidative rancidity of fats and oils and to prevent loss of activity of oil-soluble vitamins.
Butylated hydroxyanisole is frequently used in combination with other antioxidants, particularly butylated hydroxytoluene and alkyl gallates, and with sequestrants or synergists such as citric acid.
FDA regulations direct that the total content of antioxidant in vegetable oils and direct food additives shall not exceed 0.02% w/w (200 ppm) of fat or oil content or essential (volatile) oil content of food.
USDA regulations require that the total content of antioxidant shall not exceed 0.01% w/w (100 ppm) of any one antioxidant or 0.02% w/w combined total of any antioxidant combination in animal fats.
Japanese regulations allow up to 1 g/kg in animal fats.
Contact allergens BHA is an antioxidant widely used in cosmetics and food. Contained in pastry, it can induce sensitization in caterers.
Safety Profile Confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, and tumorigenic data. Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid and irritating fumes
Safety Butylated hydroxyanisole is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is metabolized and excreted in the urine with less than 1% unchanged within 24 hours of ingestion. Although there have been some isolated reports of adverse skin reactions to butylated hydroxyanisole, it is generally regarded as nonirritant and nonsensitizing at the levels employed as an antioxidant.
Concern over the use of butylated hydroxyanisole has occurred following long-term animal feeding studies. Although previous studies in rats and mice fed butylated hydroxyanisole at several hundred times the US-permitted level in the human diet showed no adverse effects, a study in which rats, hamsters, and mice were fed butylated hydroxyanisole at 1–2% of the diet produced benign and malignant tumors of the forestomach, but in no other sites. However, humans do not have any region of the stomach comparable to the rodent forestomach and studies in animals that also do not have a comparable organ (dogs, monkeys, and guinea pigs) showed no adverse effects. Thus, the weight of evidence does not support any relevance to the human diet where butylated hydroxyanisole is ingested at much lower levels. The WHO acceptable daily intake of butylated hydroxyanisole has been set at 500 μg/kg body-weight.
LD50 (mouse, oral): 1.1–2.0 g/kg
LD50 (rabbit, oral): 2.1 g/kg
LD50 (rat, IP): 0.88 g/kg
LD50 (rat, oral): 2.0 g/kg
Chemical Synthesis Several methods are used for the commercial production of BHA. Methylation of hydroquinone yields an intermediate that gives a mixture of 3-BHA and 2-BHA upon treatment with tert-butyl alcohol and phosphoric acid. Butylation of hydroquinone and subsequent methylation with dimethyl sulfate and sodium hydroxide can also be used to produce a mixture of the two BHA isomers. In addition BHA can be synthesized by the tert-butylation of 4-methoxyphenol over silica or alumina at 150°C.
Carcinogenicity Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
Environmental Fate The metabolites of BHA can bind to cellular macromolecules, such as proteins and DNA, and cause toxicity.
storage Exposure to light causes discoloration and loss of activity. Butylated hydroxyanisole should be stored in a well-closed container, protected from light, in a cool, dry place.

Toxicity evaluation BHA is a white or slightly yellow, waxy solid with a characteristic odor. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in fats, oils, and solvents like petroleum ether, chloroform, and alcohol. Its octanol/water partition coefficient is 3.50; vapor pressure is 2.48×10-3 mm Hg at 25°C; and Henry’s law constant is 1.17×10-6 atm-m3 mol-1.
BHA is released into the environment through waste streams. It has low soil mobility and volatilizes slowly from water. It may bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms, adsorb to sediment, and be subject to direct photolysis.
Incompatibilities Butylated hydroxyanisole is phenolic and undergoes reactions characteristic of phenols. It is incompatible with oxidizing agents and ferric salts. Trace quantities of metals and exposure to light cause discoloration and loss of activity.
Waste Disposal Suggested: Dispose of contents and container to an approved waste disposal plant. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.
