General description
Application
- Multicomponent analysis of fat- and water-soluble vitamins and auxiliary substances in multivitamin preparations by qNMR.: This study utilizes Butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) as an auxiliary substance for its antioxidant properties in multivitamin preparations. The research demonstrates the effectiveness of BHT in maintaining the oxidative stability of vitamins, ensuring their longevity and efficacy in pharmaceutical applications (Eiff et al., 2015).
- Investigation of the stabilizing effects of antioxidants and benzophenone-3 on desonide photostability.: The study explores the use of BHT as an antioxidant to enhance the photostability of desonide. Findings indicate that BHT significantly improves the stability of the compound under light exposure, making it a valuable preservative in pharmaceutical and biotechnological formulations (Rosa et al., 2014).
- Understanding the molecular aspects of tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol as antioxidants.: This research highlights BHT′s role as a comparative antioxidant in studying the properties of cannabinoids. BHT′s well-documented antioxidant mechanisms provide a benchmark for evaluating the efficacy of other compounds in oxidative stress research (Borges et al., 2013).
- Kinetic study of the quenching reaction of singlet oxygen by common synthetic antioxidants.: The kinetic analysis of BHT′s ability to quench singlet oxygen demonstrates its superior antioxidant capabilities compared to other synthetic antioxidants. This property is crucial for developing pharmaceutical formulations that require high oxidative stability (Kim et al., 2009).
