Propyl gallate, or propyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate is an ester formed by the condensation of gallic acid and propanol. Since 1948, this antioxidant has been added to foods containing oils and fats to prevent oxidation.[1] As a food additive, it is used under the E number E310.
Description
Propyl gallate is an antioxidant. It protects against oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and oxygen free radicals. It appears as a white to creamy-white crystalline odorless solid.[2][3]
Production
Propyl gallate does not occur naturally, and is prepared either from reactions with gallic acid and 1-propanol, or by enzyme catalysis of tannic acid.[4] Syntheses with gallic acid have been the most prominent methods of production, and include Steglich esterification with N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine, anhydrous addition of thionyl chloride, and Fischer esterification with various catalysts.[5]
Uses
Propyl gallate is used to protect oils and fats in products from oxidation; it is used in foods, cosmetics, hair products, adhesives, biodiesel, and lubricants.[6] It is often used interchangeably with octyl gallate and dodecyl gallate in these applications.[3]
It is used as a triplet state quencher and an antioxidant in fluorescence microscopy.[7]
Biological effects
A 1993 study in fat rodents found little or no effect on carcinogenesis by propyl gallate.[8]
A 2009 study found that propyl gallate acts as an estrogen antagonist.[9]
