Etymology
The word gallate comes from gallic, which comes from the Latin galla, meaning 'oak gall', the small round growth on oak trees once used to make ink and acids. So a gallate is a chemical made from that 'gallic' acid, and that is why gallates are used as antioxidants to stop food from going bad and to help cosmetics last longer.
