METHODS OF APPLICATION
TBHQ antioxidant is readily soluble at use levels in fats and oils and in a number of food grade solvents. It can be applied by the basic techniques in general use for applying other food grade antioxidants to oils, fats, and foods.
The fundamental rule to follow in applying antioxidant to food products is to ensure that the antioxidants are thoroughly dissolved and dispersed of the fat or oil portions. Since only small amounts of TBHQ antioxidants are required for protection of foods, the method of incorporating the antioxidants may determine the success of stabilization.
