Description

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Bismuth subgallate , Gallic acid .

Gallic acid is a naturally-occurring phenolic acid  with the chemical formula the chemical formula C 7 H 6 O 5 . It can be found in gallnuts, sumac, witch hazel, tea leaves, oak bark, and other plants. Historically, it was a key ingredient in European iron gall ink. The use of it spanned from its first discovery in the 12th century into the 19th century. In the modern times, it is used as an antioxidant and a preservative.
