Basic Information

Trans-Ferulic acid is a highly abundant phenolic phytochemical which is present in plant cell walls. trans-Ferulic acid is a phenolic acid that can be absorbed by the small intestine and excreted through the urine. It is one of the most abundant phenolic acids in plants, varying from 5 g/Kg in wheat bran to 9 g/kg in sugar-beet pulp and 50 g/kg in corn kernel. It occurs primarily in seeds and leaves both in its free form (rarely) and covalently linked to lignin and other biopolymers. It is usually found as ester cross-links with polysaccharides in the cell wall, such as arabinoxylans in grasses, pectin in spinach and sugar beet and xyloglucans in bamboo. It also can cross-link with proteins. Due to its phenolic nucleus and an extended side chain conjugation (carbohydrates and proteins), it readily forms a resonance stabilized phenoxy radical which accounts for its potent antioxidant potential. Food supplementation with curcuminand ferulic acid is considered a nutritional approach to reduce oxidative damage and amyloid pathology in Alzheimer disease.
