Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol
Description2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, also known as butylated hydroxytoluene or BHT, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpropanes. These are organic compounds containing a phenylpropane moiety. BHT is a mild, camphor, and musty tasting compound. It has been detected, but not quantified, in soft-necked garlic. This could make BHT a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food. BHT is a synthetic phenolic antioxidant (SPA). SPAs are a family of chemicals used widely in foods, polymers, and cosmetics as radical trapping agents to slow down degradation due to oxidation. Given their widespread use, human exposure is unavoidable and there is public concern regarding environmental contamination by these chemicals. BHT was detected in human urine (PMID:31265952 ).
