PY - 2010 DA - 2010/08/05 TI - Free radicals produced by the oxidation of gallic acid: An electron paramagnetic resonance study JO - Chemistry Central Journal SP - 15 VL - 4 IS - 1 AB - Gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid) is found in a wide variety of plants; it is extensively used in tanning, ink dyes, as well as in the manufacturing of paper. The gallate moiety is a key component of many functional phytochemicals. In this work electron paramagnetic spectroscopy (EPR) was used to detect the free radicals generated by the air-oxidation of gallic acid.
