Isobutyl gallate is an organic compound that belongs to the class of gallates, which are esters derived from gallic acid. It is characterized by its isobutyl group attached to the gallate structure, which contributes to its properties as an antioxidant. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents. Isobutyl gallate is primarily used as a food preservative and antioxidant, helping to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils, thereby extending the shelf life of various food products. Its antioxidant activity is attributed to the presence of hydroxyl groups in the gallate structure, which can scavenge free radicals. Additionally, isobutyl gallate is considered to have low toxicity, making it suitable for use in food applications. However, as with any chemical substance, it is important to adhere to regulatory guidelines regarding its use and concentration in food products. Overall, isobutyl gallate serves as a valuable additive in the food industry due to its protective properties against oxidative degradation.

ISOBUTYL GALLATE

Isobutyl gallate is a synthetic antioxidant that can be used to prevent oxidation of fats and oils. It is a free radical scavenger that reacts with the hydroxyl and pyrazine groups in unsaturated fatty acids, forming esters. The antioxidant activity of this compound has been attributed to its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation by forming stable radicals that react with the peroxide group. Isobutyl gallate is also an effective antithrombin, which inhibits blood coagulation and platelet aggregation. This compound has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects.
