By type, the synthetic segment accounted for the highest share in the food antioxidants market. The market for food antioxidants, by type, has been segmented into natural and synthetic. Synthetic food antioxidants are synthesized from petroleum-based products. They are used primarily in the food industry to delay lipid oxidation for stabilizing and preserving refined fats & oils within a food system/product. The maximum permissible limit for synthetic antioxidants varies greatly across countries and is dependent on the food it is being used in. 

Four types of synthetic antioxidants are mostly used in foods—BHA, BHT, PG, and TBHQ. Antioxidants are used during the processing of oilseeds into fats & oils, where the removal of impurities from vegetable oils can also remove natural antioxidants, predisposing the product to oxidation, causing the natural nutrients and flavors of the food products to be lost. Synthetic antioxidants are used to restore or improve the natural defense of oils & fats against oxidative damage, which significantly increases their shelf life. Antioxidants also find application in the processing of animal fats, in baked goods, the meat industry, and almost all foods that have high oil content, such as margarine and mayonnaise.
