'''Butylated hydroxyanisole''' ('''BHA''') is an ] consisting of a mixture of two ]ic organic compounds, 2-''tert''-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and 3-''tert''-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole. It is prepared from ] and ]. It is a waxy solid used in certain amounts as a ] with the ] E320. The primary use for BHA is as an antioxidant and preservative in food, food packaging, animal feed, and cosmetics, and in rubber and petroleum products.<ref>HSDB. 2000. Hazardous Substances Data Base. National Library of Medicine. http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/

'''Butylated hydroxyanisole''' ('''BHA''') is a synthetic, waxy, solid ]. Its ] properties have caused it to be widely used as a preservative in food, food packaging, animal feed, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, rubber, and petroleum products.<ref>, National Library of Medicine</ref> BHA has been used in food since around 1947.<ref name="SA">{{cite news |title=BHA and BHT: A Case for Fresh? |url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bha-and-bht-a-case-for-fresh/ |access-date=27 December 2022 |work=Scientific American |date=December 19, 2013}}</ref>
==Antioxidant Properties==
Since 1947, BHA has been added to edible fats and fat-containing foods for its antioxidant properties as it prevents food from becoming rancid and developing objectionable odors.<ref>Lam, L. K., R. P. Pai and L. W. Wattenberg. 1979. Synthesis and chemical carcinogen inhibitory activity of 2-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole. J Med Chem 22(5): 569-71.</ref> Like ] (BHT), the conjugated aromatic ring of BHA is able to stabilize ]s, sequestering them. By acting as free radical ]s, further free radical reactions are prevented.


==Carcinogenicity== ==Chemistry==
BHA consists of a mixture of two ]ic organic compounds, 2-''tert''-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and 3-''tert''-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole. It is prepared from ] and ].
Some controversy surrounds the use of BHA in foods. The US ] report that BHA is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. In particular, when administered as part of their diet, BHA causes ] and ] of the forestomach in rats and Syrian golden ].<ref>Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), CAS No. 25013-16-5, Report on Carcinogens, Eleventh Edition, National Institutes of Health, http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/eleventh/profiles/s027bha.pdf</ref> That said, when examining human population statistics, the usual low intake levels of BHA shows no significant association with an increased risk of cancer.<ref>Botterweck AAM, Vergaen H, GoldBohm RA, KleinJans J, van den Brant PA "Intake of Butylated Hydroxyanisole and Butylated Hydroxytoluene and Stomach Cancer Risk: Results from Analyses in the Netherlands Cohort Study", Food and Chemical Toxicology. 2007;38:599-605.</ref> The State of California, has, however, listed it as a carcinogen. Furthermore, the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of BHA and a similar preservative, ] BHT, is exceeded by only a small fraction of the population.<ref>Soubra L, Sarkis D, Hilan C, Verger Ph, "Dietary exposure of children and teenages to benzoates, sulphites, butylhydroxyanisol, (BHA) and butylhydroxytoluen (BHT) in Beirut (Lebanon)", Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology. 2007;47:68-77.</ref>

The conjugated aromatic ring of BHA is able to stabilize ]s, sequestering them. By acting as free radical ]s, further free radical reactions are prevented.

==Applications==
Since 1947, BHA has been added to edible fats and fat-containing foods for its antioxidant properties as it prevents ] of food which creates objectionable odors.<ref name=Lam>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1021/jm00191a020 | author = Lam, L.

BHA also is commonly used in medicines, such as ] (vitamin D<sub>3</sub>), ], ], and ], among others.

==Health effects==
The U.S. ] report that BHA is reasonably anticipated to be a human ] based on evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. In particular, when administered in high doses as part of their diet, BHA causes ]s and ]s of the forestomach in rats and Syrian golden ]s.<ref name=ROC> {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100605124129/http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/eleventh/profiles/s027bha.pdf# |date=2010-06-05 }}, ''Report on Carcinogens'', Eleventh Edition, ]</ref> In mice, there is no carcinogenic effect;<ref name=ROC/> in fact, there is evidence of a protective effect against the carcinogenicity of other chemicals.<ref name=Lam/>

When examining human ], the usual low intake levels of BHA show no significant association with an increased risk of cancer.<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1016/S0278-6915(00)00042-9 | vauthors = ((Botterweck AAM)), Vergaen H, GoldBohm RA, KleinJans J, van den Brant PA | title = Intake of Butylated Hydroxyanisole and Butylated Hydroxytoluene and Stomach Cancer Risk: Results from Analyses in the Netherlands Cohort Study | journal = ] | year = 2007 | volume = 38 | issue = 7 | pages = 599–605 | pmid = 10942321| url = https://cris.maastrichtuniversity.nl/portal/en/publications/intake-of-butylated-hydroxyanisole-and-butylated-hydroxytoluene-and-stomach-cancer-risk-results-from-analyses-in-the-netherlands-cohort-study(7abde0bd-1682-4da8-8ebf-b8373b7ed481).html }}</ref>

The European Commission has conducted an evaluation of literature. They noted the lack of potential for the compound to induce carcinogenic effects in humans; studies showing carcinogenic effects in hamsters are not relevant to humans (which lack a forestomach). Also noted is that endocrine disruption, if any, is only likely to be present at levels vastly exceeding the intake as a food. <ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.2903/j.efsa.2011.2392|title=Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of butylated hydroxyanisole - BHA (E 320) as a food additive|journal=EFSA Journal|year=2011|volume=9|issue=10|page=2392|doi-access=free}}</ref>

The ] – Summaries & Evaluations stated butylated hydroxyanisole was tested for carcinogenicity in two experiments in rats and in two experiments in hamsters by administration in the diet, inducing benign and malignant tumours of the forestomach. <ref>{{Cite web|title=Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) (IARC Summary & Evaluation, Volume 40, 1986)|url=https://inchem.org/documents/iarc/vol40/butylatedhydroxyanisole.html|access-date=2022-01-30|website=inchem.org}}</ref>
