Antioxidants are substances that can inhibit or delay oxidation reactions, commonly used in products such as food, medicine, cosmetics, plastics, rubber, coatings, etc., to prevent products from deteriorating, discoloring, and losing their flavor due to oxidation. The principle of action of anti yang agents is mainly to inhibit oxidation reactions by absorbing oxygen, generating hydrogen peroxide, stabilizing free radicals, and other methods. There are various types of antioxidants, including organic antioxidants and inorganic antioxidants. Organic antioxidants mainly include phenols, amines, and hypophosphite esters, while inorganic antioxidants mainly include metal ions, metal oxides, and metal sulfides. The use of antioxidants should be selected according to the nature and purpose of the product, and used according to the prescribed dosage and usage method to ensure the quality and safety of the product.
