Xtendra® Antioxidants based on BHA and ascorbyl palmitate as well as combinatory solutions of natural and synthetic antioxidants in dry or liquid form.

BHA is the preferred synthetic antioxidant due to high performance in the aquafeed and rapid metabolism. Data from Norway on farmed salmon has shown that after the 2-week withdrawal period, BHA was not detectable in either fish fillets or livers.
