Chemical Properties Of Gallic acid monohydrate Cas 5995-86-8

  • Gallic acid monohydrate (MF: C₇H₈O₆, MW: 188.13) is a naturally occurring polyhydroxy phenolic compound exhibiting strong acidity and potent antioxidant properties. Its three phenolic hydroxyl groups actively donate hydrogen atoms to scavenge free radicals (e.g., hydroxyl radicals, superoxide anions) while inhibiting oxidation reactions catalysed by metal ions (e.g., Fe²⁺, Cu²⁺).
  • Additionally, Gallic acid hydrate exhibits diverse biological activities including antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumour properties.

Product Application Of Gallic acid monohydrate Cas 5995-86-8

  • As a food additive, it is primarily used for antioxidant protection in fats, oils, and fried foods; colour retention in fruits, vegetables, and juices; and as a quality improver.
  • In pharmaceuticals and health supplements, it serves as a raw material for preparing haemostatic agents and may be added as an antioxidant to health products.
  • In oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash, it reduces free radical damage to gums, inhibits bacterial proliferation, and aids in preventing dental caries and gingivitis.
  • In cosmetics, it is incorporated into skincare products (e.g., creams, serums, masks) to delay skin ageing, reduce melanin production, and alleviate skin sensitivity and inflammation.
  • In hair care products (such as shampoos and hair masks), it protects keratin in the hair and maintains hair health after colouring.
    As a ‘reducing agent’ in dye preparation (e.g., gallic acid blue), it also functions as a ‘stabiliser’ to prevent oxidative degradation during dye storage.
  • As a ‘natural chelating agent’ and ‘antioxidant’ in industrial circulating water and drinking water treatment, it chelates metal ions and inhibits microbial proliferation.
  • As a ‘reducing agent’ and ‘colour developer’ in chemical analysis.
