Abstract
An aqueous composition includes a normally biodegradable component and contains tertiary butyl hydroquinone to inhibit microbial growth. Oxidative rancidity is also controlled when the composition has a fat or oil content. A method is described which adds tertiary butyl hydroquinone to aqueous biodegradable materials in concentrations that inhibit microbial growth.
