GALL Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Ox bile is used to clear the liver and improve eyesight, promote bile secretion and bowel movement, detoxify and reduce swelling, and treat wind-heat eye diseases, jaundice, constipation, diabetes, infantile convulsions, carbuncles, and hemorrhoids. Ox bile is an effective natural wetting agent and can be used with watercolor paints to promote flow. It is also used in marble patterns, engraving, lithography, and textile dyeing. It has been used as a plasticizer in sizing mixtures.

Description

Ox bile extract, also known as purified oxgall and sodium choleate, is obtained by evaporating the alcohol extract of concentrated bile. It is a mixture of varying amounts of the salts of the bile acids, lipid materials such as cholesterol and lecithin, choline compounds, glycocol and other substances. The bile acids, which occur as sodium salts in the bile of most vertebrates, are derivatives of the steroid cholanic acid. Cholic acid is 3,7,12-trihydroxycholanic acid; desoxycholic acid is 3,12 dihydroxy-5-cholanic acid; glycocholic acid is cholylglycine; and taurocholic acid is cholyltaurine.
Bile salts and hence bile extract are useful in some foods because of their emulsifying and surfactant properties. Cholic acid, desoxycholic acid, glycocholic acid, taurocholic acid, and bile extract are “generally recognized as safe”.

Chemical Properties

Yellow-green powder with a slightly sweet and bitter taste, unpleasant. Soluble in water and ethanol.

Definition

Extractives and their physically modified derivatives such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, inorganic ions, etc. obtained from mammalian bile.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bile from bovine and ovine can be used in bacteriological research to investigate bile salt adaptation of bacteria such as Lactobacillus.
