Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthyl gallate
DescriptionEthyl gallate, also known as ethyl gallic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as galloyl esters. These are organic compounds that contain an ester derivative of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid. Ethyl gallate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within grape wine and vinegar. Ethyl gallate has also been detected, but not quantified in, fruits and guavas (Psidium guajava). This could make ethyl gallate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Ethyl gallate is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Ethyl gallate.
