Explanation

BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) and BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) are widely recognized as antioxidants. They help prevent oxidation and prolong the shelf life of products by protecting them from oxidative damage. They are not primarily used as anti-sprouting, anti-ripening, or antimicrobial agents.
