	Acidum Gallicum (U. S. P.)—Gallic Acid. \| Henriette's Herbal Homepage
		In 1854 Strecker came to the conclusion that tannin was a glucosid, for by boiling it with diluted mineral acid he obtained a large amount of gallic acid and considerable glucose.
		—Gallic acid does not coagulate albumen, and when ingested is quickly absorbed, and rapidly discharged by the kidneys, over the secretions of which, as well as of the skin, it has a marked control.
		Gallic acid is much inferior to tannic acid as a topical astringent; but administered internally, it is more powerful as a remote astringent.

	Gallic Acid - LoveToKnow 1911
		GALLIC ACID, trioxybenzoic acid (HO)3(3.4.5.) C6H2C02H H20, the acidum gallicum of pharmacy, a substance discovered by K. Scheele; it occurs in the leaves of the bearberry, in pomegranate root-bark, in tea, in gall-nuts to the extent of about 3%, and in other vegetable productions.
		Gallic acid is most readily obtained by boiling the tannin procured from oak-galls by means of alcohol and ether with weak solution of acids.
		With phosphorus oxychloride at 520° C. gallic acid yields tannic acid, and with concentrated sulphuric acid at 100°, rufigallic acid, C14H808, an anthracene derivative.

	Ellagic Acid - Washington Red Raspberry Commission
		Instead, polymers of gallic acid and hexahydroxydipenoyl (HHDP) are linked to glucose centers to form the class of compounds known as ellagitannins.
		Ellagic acid is the result when the HHDP group is cleaved from the tannin molecule and spontaneously rearranges.
		In addition, ellagic acid from red raspberries prevents binding of carcinogens to DNA, and reduces the incidence of cancer in cultured human cells exposed to carcinogens.

		CO H, colorless crystalline organic acid found in gallnuts, sumach, tea leaves, oak bark, and many other plants, both in its free state and as part of the tannin molecule (see tannin).
		Since gallic acid has hydroxyl groups and a carboxylic acid group in the same molecule, two molecules of it can react with one another to form an ester, digallic acid.
		Gallic acid is obtained by the hydrolysis of tannic acid with sulfuric acid.

		Synthesis of Gallic Acid: Cu2+-Mediated Oxidation of 3-Dehydroshikimic Acid
		Gallic acid is an important starting material used in the synthesis of a wide range of food additives and pharmaceuticals and is currently obtained from hydrolysis of gallotannins isolated from gall nuts and tara powder.

	Chapter 14. Reducing Agents-Developers
		When gallic acid is heated to the temperature of 410° Fahrenheit, and kept at this temperature, in an oil-bath, a volatile substance sublimes of a beautiful white color, in crystalline plates.
		The acid liquor thus obtained is impure formic acid, which is purified by neutralizing it with carbonate of soda, and evaporating the solution so as to obtain formiate of soda in crystals which may be freed from all impurities in the same manner as acetate of soda in the preceding paragraphs.
		This acid is obtained from argol, or from cream of tartar, which is a bitartrate of potassa, by two processes; one consists in abstracting One equivalent of tartaric acid from the bitartrate, and the other in decomposing the residual tartrate in the solution.

	Gallic acid production by fermentation
		Gallic acid (3,4,5 –trihydroxybenzoic acid) is a useful chemical with wide applications.
		Gallic acid thus produced is unsuitable as a raw material for the manufacturing of drug intermediates.
		The process of fermentation of tannic acid extracted from tara powder was developed to 100 litre/ batch level, and it gives good yield of gallic acid (90% of available tannic acid) with minimum energy input as compared to acid hydrolysis process.

		Gallic acid attenuated compound 48/80- or immunoglobulin E (IgE)- induced histamine release from mast cells.
		The inhibitory effect of gallic acid on the histamine release was mediated by the modulation of cAMP and intracellular calcium.
		The inhibitory activity of gallic acid on the allergic reaction and histamine release was found to be similar with disodium cromoglycate.

		In seeds, gallic acid is present as free gallic acid and as an ester attached to procyanidin polymers.
		Gallic acid is also present in grape stems and may be increased by whole cluster fermentations.
		Gallic acid concentrations range from 10 to more than 100 mg/L. Concentrations in the upper end of this range are usually associated with new oak cooperage.

		Preparation: This acid may be made from tannic acid, by securing an interchange of one equivalent of oxygen for one equivalent of carbon in the latter.
		The tannic acid in galls is oxidized, and thus converted into gallic acid; the boiling water dissolves this; and as cold water will not dissolve it well, the crystals of gallic acid are deposited as the solution cools.
		This acid is a very pure and efficient astringent; and as it does not precipitate gelatin, it thereby possesses a decided advantage over tannin for internal use, as it may reach remote vessels effectually, and is not liable to cause so much constipation.

	The ink corrosion website: iron gall ink: ink recipes
		Sigmund Lehner, in his treatise entitled Ink Manufacture (cited in literature), mentions that the conversion to gallic acid caused by the fermentation process should be complete in 8 to 10 days, whereupon boiling water is poured over the mass to kill the ferment.
		It is then mixed with the gallic acid solution.
		The result is a fl sludge which must be filtered through a sieve before adding to the gallic acid (fermented gall solution).

		Gallic acid levels, which are the accepted way to record a wine's tannin content, are six times higher in red wine than white.
		In all three, the level of gallic acid increased shortly after pouring, as newly exposed tannins reacted with oxygen.
