Gallic Acid Derivatives and Hydrolyzable Tannins

  • Chapter
Natural Products of Woody Plants

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Wood Science ((SSWOO))

Abstract

Gallic acid and its derivatives as they occur in extracts of oak-galls constitute a chemical reagent of considerable antiquity. The blue-black color produced when an aqueous infusion is treated with salts of iron was first described by Pliny; its use in the analysis of mineral waters and as a component of invisible ink were noted as early as the sixteenth century. The eminent Swedish chemist Scheele first isolated gallic acid from oak-galls toward the end of the eighteenth century and the acid was named gallic by Braconnot in reference to its origin in plant galls. One of the first published preparations of gallic acid, however, is that of Sir Humphrey Davy (79) in the Journal of the Royal Institute (1803); he followed a directive from the trustees and governors to present a series of lectures on ‘the chemical principles of the art of tanning.’ This incident vividly illustrates the intimate relationship, for both scientific and historical reasons, that studies of the chemistry and biochemistry of gallic acid and its derivatives have with those of the vegetable tannins and ultimately the proanthocyanidins (142).
