Best Answer

Antioxidants are used:

Tertiary Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is effective for a wide variety of lipids. It is often used directly in vegetable derived oils, and foods containing those vegetable oils. It is also used in the preparation of other food categories such as confections, non-dairy toppings, coffee whiteners and snack dips. TBHQ has been shown to be highly effective in extending shelf life for many products.

Propyl Gallate (PG) is a very effective antioxidant that can be used in various highly unsaturated fats and oils. It can be combined with other antioxidants such as Butylated Hydroxylanisole, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, and/or citric acid. It is sometimes substituted for vegetable oils in some countries where Tertiary Butylhydroquinone has not yet been approved. PG is relatively unstable during baking and frying, however.

How do you preserve cereal?

Keep water and oxygen out. Both of these contribute to rancidity reactions and microbial growth. Cereals typically have about 3% moisture, though most of this water is not available for any chemistry to occur. Even so, water within cereal will ultimately lead to rancidity. Sealing your cereal and freezing it is probably your best bet if you want to really make it last.
