Digallic acid is a polyphenolic compound found in Pistacia lentiscus.[1] Digallic acid is also present in the molecule of tannic acid.[2] Digalloyl esters involve either -meta or -para depside bonds.[3]

Tannase is an enzyme that uses digallate to produce gallic acid. This enzyme can also be used to produce digallic acid from gallotannins.[4]
