What structural features of BHT are responsible for its antioxidant properties?
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) contains antioxidant properties due to its ability to donate hydrogen atoms to free radicals, thereby stabilizing and neutralizing them. This is mainly attributed to its aromatic ring structure and the presence of hydroxyl groups, which allows it to scavenge free radicals and prevent oxidation reactions. Additionally, BHT is a lipophilic molecule, enabling it to penetrate lipid-rich environments and protect fats and oils from oxidative damage.
