Kt. Chung et al., GROWTH-INHIBITION OF SELECTED FOOD-BORNE BACTERIA BY TANNIC-ACID, PROPYL GALLATE AND RELATED-COMPOUNDS, Letters in applied microbiology, 17(1), 1993, pp. 29-32
Tannic acid, propyl gallate, gallic acid and ellagic acid were tested
for their inhibitory effects on selected food-borne bacteria by the we
ll assay technique. Tannic acid and propyl gallate were inhibitory whe
reas gallic acid and ellagic acid were not.
