Description

Butylated Hydroxyanisole FCC

Butylated Hydroxyanisole FCC (BHA) is a high-purity, food- and pharmaceutical-grade antioxidant used to prevent oxidative degradation of fats, oils, vitamins, and active ingredients in dietary supplements, oral pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. As a phenolic antioxidant, BHA is highly effective at stabilizing formulations and extending shelf life. Butylated Hydroxyanisole

• Is a FCC-compliant antioxidant for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications
• Prevents oxidation and rancidity of fats, oils, and lipid-soluble vitamins
• Is suitable for tablets, softgels, chewables, and topical preparations
• Is effective at low concentrations and compatible with other antioxidants (e.g., BHT, tocopherols)
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and supporting technical data

Chemically described as a mixture of 3-tert-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and 2-tert-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole, BHA is a waxy white or yellowish solid with high solubility in fats and oils. It functions by donating hydrogen atoms to free radicals, interrupting oxidative chain reactions and protecting sensitive compounds from degradation.

In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, Butylated Hydroxyanisole FCC is used in:

• Lipid-based formulations to stabilize oils and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)
• Soft gelatin capsules and chewable tablets to prevent oxidative rancidity
• Nutritional powders and granules containing omega-3 fatty acids or other unsaturated lipids
• Topical creams and ointments where antioxidant stability is essential

BHA is generally used in combination with other antioxidants to provide synergistic stabilization across a broader range of temperatures and oxidative stresses. Its inclusion levels are typically 0.01–0.1% depending on the formulation and regulatory guidelines.

CarboMer supplies Butylated Hydroxyanisole FCC with tight control over assay, impurity profile, and residual solvents. The product conforms to Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) standards and is suitable for regulated food, supplement, and pharmaceutical products.

The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-protected, tamper-evident containers. Available in research, pilot, and commercial quantities. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and complete documentation are provided upon request.

Each batch is tested for identity, assay, melting range, residual solvents, and compliance with FCC specifications. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and traceability documentation accompany every shipment.

As with all CarboMer excipients and antioxidants, Butylated Hydroxyanisole FCC is supported by formulation assistance, regulatory guidance, and reliable supply chain continuity to help you maintain the stability and safety of your products.
