Galloyl esters are organic compounds that contain an ester derivative of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid. Methyl gallate is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Methyl gallate can be found in peach and pomegranate, which makes methyl gallate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Methyl gallate is a phenolic compound. It is the methyl ester of gallic acid . 3,4,5-Trihydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester Benzoic acid, 3,4,5-trihydroxy-, methyl ester Gallic acid methyl ester Gallic acid, methyl ester Gallicin?
