BHT stands for ......................

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2024 Paper 2 Computer Science and Applications Question Paper (07-Apr-2024)
The correct answer is

Butylated hydroxytoluene

BHT is a synthetic phenolic antioxidant added to fats, oils, cereals and snack foods to delay oxidative rancidity.

Chemically it is a toluene (methylbenzene) ring carrying a hydroxyl group and two tertiary butyl groups, which is why it is named butylated hydroxytoluene; its close relative BHA is butylated hydroxyanisole.

It acts as a free radical scavenger, donating a hydrogen atom to lipid peroxy radicals and breaking the chain reaction of fat oxidation.

Names containing terphthalate or the word binary do not describe any recognised food antioxidant, and butyl hydroxyterphthalate is not the expansion of this abbreviation.

Hence, Butylated hydroxytoluene.
