BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) is primarily used in flavors as an antioxidant to prevent fats and oils from becoming rancid, thus preserving the original flavor and freshness of food products by slowing down oxidation and deterioration in taste and texture; essentially, it helps maintain the desired flavor profile of a food item over time.
