3. Applications
  • Food Industry: Antioxidant (E310) for edible oils, fats, meat products, baked goods, and instant noodles; prevents lipid oxidation and extends product shelf life.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Stabilizer for drug formulations containing oils or fats; antioxidant for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) susceptible to oxidation.
  • Cosmetics Industry: Preservative and antioxidant in skincare, haircare, and lip care products; protects oils and fragrances from rancidity.
  • Industrial Field: Antioxidant for lubricants, plastics, and rubber products; inhibits oxidative degradation during storage and use.
4. Storage and Handling
  • Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse at 0–25 °C. Protect from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Seal the package tightly to avoid contact with air.
  • Handling Precautions: Wear protective gloves, goggles, and a dust mask during operation. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. In case of contact, rinse the affected area with plenty of water immediately.
5. Stability and Reactivity
  • Stability: Stable under normal storage conditions; prone to oxidation when exposed to heat, light, or alkaline environments.
  • Incompatibility: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, alkalis, and heavy metal ions (e.g., Fe³?, Cu²?), which may accelerate degradation.
  • Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO?) under high-temperature combustion conditions.
6. Quality Standards
  • Food Grade: Complies with FCC (Food Chemicals Codex), EU E310 and GB 2760 standards.
  • Pharmaceutical Grade: Meets USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) specifications.
  • Industrial Grade: Conforms to industry standards for antioxidant applications in lubricants and polymers.
7. Packaging
  • Standard Packaging: 25 kg net weight in polyethylene-lined kraft paper bags or fiber drums; 1 kg, 5 kg in food/pharma-grade aluminum foil bags for small batches.
  • Custom Packaging: Available upon customer request.
8. Transportation Information
  • Hazard Classification: Non-hazardous chemical (not regulated as dangerous goods for transportation).
  • Transport Precautions: Prevent package breakage and moisture absorption during transit. Avoid mixing with strong oxidants and alkalis. Protect from sunlight and high temperatures during transportation.
Antioxidant CAS No. Grade Key Advantages Limitations Typical Application Scenarios Synergistic Effect
Propyl Gallate (E310) 121-79-9 Food/Pharma 1. Strong antioxidant activity for vegetable oils and fats2. Good thermal stability (suitable for baking)3. Low dosage requirement4. Complies with global food safety standards 1. Slightly soluble in water2. Prone to discoloration in alkaline systems3. Not suitable for high-fat meat products alone Edible oils, baked goods, instant noodles, cosmetics Excellent synergy with BHA, BHT, and citric acid (citric acid as chelating agent enhances efficacy)
Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA, E320) 25013-16-5 Food 1. Good solubility in fats and oils2. Stable in acidic/neutral systems3. Long shelf life for products 1. Weak antioxidant effect at high temperatures2. Potential safety concerns in some regions Lard, butter, processed meats, snack foods Synergizes with BHT and propyl gallate
Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT, E321) 128-37-0 Food/Industrial 1. Excellent thermal stability (resists high-temperature processing)2. Low cost, high cost-effectiveness3. Wide application range 1. Poor solubility in polar solvents2. Restricted usage in some countries Fried foods, packaging materials, industrial lubricants Synergizes with BHA and propyl gallate
Tocopherols (Vitamin E, E306) 10191-41-0 Food/Pharma 1. Natural antioxidant, high safety2. Good compatibility with food systems3. Has nutritional value 1. High cost compared to synthetic antioxidants2. Weak antioxidant effect in high-fat systems Nutritional supplements, infant food, vegetable oils Synergizes with ascorbyl palmitate
Ascorbyl Palmitate (E304) 137-66-6 Food 1. Water-fat soluble, versatile application2. Natural source, safe and non-toxic3. Suitable for aqueous and oily systems 1. Poor thermal stability (decomposes at high temperatures)2. High dosage required Beverages, dairy products, emulsified foods Synergizes with tocopherols and propyl gallate
Key Selection Tips
  1. For high-temperature processed foods (e.g., fried goods, baked products), prioritize BHT or propyl gallate for their thermal stability.
  2. For natural/organic food products, choose tocopherols or ascorbyl palmitate to meet clean-label requirements.
  3. For cost-sensitive industrial applications, BHT is the preferred economical option.
  4. To maximize antioxidant efficacy, use compound formulations (e.g., propyl gallate + citric acid) instead of single antioxidants.
