Notes:
The formation of derivatives of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) used as an antioxidant in edible oil was investigated. Commercial oil containing BHT was heated at 190°C for 262 hr and extracted with acetonitrile. A yellow substance was isolated at the level of 7 ppb, purified by multiple thin-layer chromatography, and identified as 3,3′,5,5′-tetra-bis-(tert-butyl)-stilbenequinone. No published data were found on the presence of this substance in heated edible oil.
