Description

General description

4-Hexylresorcinol is a well-known food additive belonging to the class of dihydroxybenzenes. As an alternative to sulfite, 4-hexylresorcinol is proposed for use as a processing aid for the prevention of melanosis in shrimp and crab, which occurs due to the polyphenol oxidase activity during storage.

Application

4-Hexylresorcinol may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in food matrices and deepwater pink shrimp using chromatography techniques.
