Description

Application

• Quantitative analysis of residual butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole in Salmo salar, milk, and butter by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.: This study provides a quantitative analysis of residual 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) in various food products. The research highlights the presence and concentration of these antioxidants in fish, milk, and butter, demonstrating their widespread use in food preservation (Galal et al., 2024).


• The key factors of solid nanodispersion for promoting the bioactivity of abamectin.: This research investigates the use of BHT in solid nanodispersions to enhance the bioactivity of abamectin, a widely used insecticide. The study identifies key factors that improve the stability and effectiveness of the formulation, suggesting applications in agricultural biotechnology (Ding et al., 2024).
