The Hexylresorcinol Agent is widely used as an anti helmintic that can be potentially used in throat lozenges to get rid of parasitic worms if they were growing inside. The Hexylresorcinol Agent can also be used to prevent shrimp black spot [melanosis], an unappealing surface discoloration of shrimp caused by the enzymatic production of pigmented compounds. The Anti Septic Hexylresorcinol Agent also prevents browning and decay of fresh-cut mangoes and apples.
