| General description: | 4-Hexylresorcinol is a well-known food additive belonging to the class of dihydroxybenzenes. As an alternative to sulfite, 4-hexylresorcinol is proposed for use as a processing aid for the prevention of melanosis in shrimp and crab, which occurs due to the polyphenol oxidase activity during storage. |
