I.Detailed Description

Chemical Properties:
- As a phenolic ester, it contains three phenolic hydroxyl groups, which are the primary source of its antioxidant activity.
- It is slightly soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, and acetone.
Sources:
- Natural Sources: It is a component of plant tannins (hydrolyzable tannins) and can be released upon hydrolysis.
- Industrial Production: It is commonly produced by extraction from natural plants or via chemical/biotechnological synthesis, for example, through the esterification of gallic acid with methanol.

II. Primary Uses

The applications of methyl gallate are diverse, primarily leveraging its antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Food Industry:
- As an Antioxidant: Used in fats, oils, fried foods, and dried fish products to prevent rancidity and oxidative deterioration, thereby extending shelf life. Its function is similar to BHA and BHT.
Cosmetics and Personal Care:
- As a Preservative and Stabilizer: Incorporated into creams, lotions, lipsticks, etc., to prevent the oxidation of oily components and maintain the stability of the product’s color and efficacy.
- As a Functional Ingredient: Due to its antioxidant properties, it is considered beneficial for protecting the skin from free radical damage, potentially offering anti-aging benefits.
Pharmaceutical Industry:
- In drug research and development, its potential pharmacological activities are being studied, including antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties. It may serve as a drug lead compound or an excipient.
Scientific Research:
- In biochemical and molecular biology experiments, it is used as a specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases, particularly for inhibiting Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A), which is crucial in cell signaling research.
Other Industrial Applications:
- Historically used as a developer in photography.
- Can act as a stabilizer or monomer in the polymer industry.

Packaging: 25kg/drum
