'''Anoxomer''' is a [[food additive]] with [[E number]] E323.  It is a non-digestible [[polymeric]] [[antioxidant]].<ref>{{cite journal | title = Anoxomer.  A new nonabsorbable antioxidant | author = Weinshenker, Ned M | journal = Food Technology |year=1980 |volume=34 |issue=11 | pages=40–49}}</ref>  It was designed to allow the introduction of established antioxidants in a non-absorbable manner in order to avoid potential health risk associated with their digestion.<ref name="CRC">Thomas E. Furia, ''CRC Handbook of Food Additives'', Volume II, 1980, ISBN 9780849305436</ref>

Anoxomer is prepared by [[condensation polymerization]] of [[divinylbenzene]] and a mixture of antioxidant [[monomer]]s including [[tert-butylhydroquinone]], [[tert-butylphenol]], [[hydroxyanisole]], [[p-cresol]] and [[4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol]].<ref name="CRC"/><ref>[http://grokfood.com/regulations/172.105.htm Code of Federal Regulations], Title 21, Volume 3, April 1, 2006 (21CFR172.105)</ref>
