Applications Packaging Storage & Handling
• Snacks & seasoning blends • frying oils & shortenings • rendered fats & lard • cereal & bakery mixes • flavors • cosmetics.
• Often paired with **BHT/E321**, **TBHQ**, and **citric acid/EDTA** for synergistic oxidation control.
Usage levels must follow local regulations (commonly ≤ 200 ppm in fat/oil; check jurisdiction/product standard).
• 25 kg fiber drums or cartons with inner PE/foil bag • 1 kg foil sachets × 20/carton.
• Solution: 25 kg/200 kg drums; IBC on request.
• Non‑DG; store cool, dry, sealed; protect from light/air.
• Oil‑soluble – dose into fat phase. Use food‑contact stainless/HDPE/PP.
