Dodecyl gallate
Other names lauryl gallate, E312
Dodecyl gallate: high in histamine and salicylate. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)High
Dodecyl gallate (E312) is the longest chain of the three and the most fat-soluble, used in the fattiest applications where the others would separate out. Chain length decides which product it goes into and nothing about its standing here. None of them carries histamine. The antioxidants are on this page because the pseudoallergen elimination protocols remove them as a family, and the reactions reported are pseudoallergic rather than amine-mediated.
