The alkyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (parabens) are used widely as preservatives in foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to which the human population is exposed. Recent studies have reported that methylparaben, ethylparaben, n-propylparaben and n-butylparaben all possess oestrogenic activity i
