Antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances that can slow or prevent the oxidation process, and they are crucial for the food preservation process. Knowing whether a product contains additional antioxidants can significantly enhance its value. We test for commonly used antioxidants in the food industry, such as:

• Dibutyl Hydroxytoluene (BHT)
• Butyl Hydroxyanisole (BHA)
• Tertiary Butyl Hydroquinone (TBHQ)

Eurofins Angler Biochemlab utilizes HPLC machines for samples with high antioxidant levels (>50 mg/kg) and LC-MS/MS machines for samples with lower antioxidant concentrations.
