Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name GALANGAL ACETATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

1'-Acetoxychavicol Acetate

1'-acetoxychavicol acetate is an acetate ester that is chavicol acetate substituted by an acetoxy group at position 1'. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, a NF-kappaB inhibitor and a plant metabolite. It is a phenylpropanoid and an acetate ester. It is functionally related to a chavicol. — ChEBI
