CAS 1083-41-6: Butyl gallate

Description:Butyl gallate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically the butyl ester of gallic acid. It is commonly used as an antioxidant in food and cosmetic products due to its ability to inhibit the oxidation of fats and oils, thereby extending shelf life and maintaining product quality. The substance appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. Butyl gallate is known for its stability under various conditions, making it a preferred choice in formulations requiring long-term preservation. Its chemical structure includes a gallate moiety, which contributes to its antioxidant properties. While generally recognized as safe in regulated amounts, it is important to monitor its usage levels in consumer products to avoid potential adverse effects. Overall, butyl gallate serves as a valuable additive in various industries, particularly in food technology and cosmetics, due to its protective qualities against oxidative degradation.
