BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) is added to gum primarily as a preservative to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils, which can lead to rancidity and spoilage. It helps maintain the flavor and freshness of the gum for a longer period. Additionally, BHT can also enhance the shelf life of the product, ensuring that it remains palatable for consumers.
