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.

Brief Introduction
Rice bran extract is prepared from the rice husk. The main ingredient of rice
bran extract, Ferulic acid is an antioxidant which neutralizes free radicals
that could cause oxidative damage of cell membranes and DNA. Rice bran extract,
ferulic acid helps to prevent damage to our cells caused by ultraviolet light.
Ferulic acid is often added as ingredient of anti-aging supplements.
 
Main functions
• Antioxidant effect
• Prevention of food discoloration
• Cosmetic effect, skin whitening, photo-protection
• Growth and brain function enhancing effect
• Inhibitory effect of carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer
• Blood sugar and pressure lowering effect
 
Medical field
Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal
Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-
inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory
actions.They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting
cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides,
precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts
for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other
mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
Cholagogues and Choleretics
Gastrointestinal agents that stimulate the flow of bile into the duodenum
(cholagogues) or stimulate the production of bile by the liver (choleretic).
Anticoagulants
Agents that prevent BLOOD CLOTTING
Antihypertensive Agents
Drugs used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular HYPERTENSION
regardless of pharmacological mechanism. Among the antihypertensive agents are
DIURETICS; (especially DIURETICS, THIAZIDE); ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS;
ADRENERGIC ALPHA-ANTAGONISTS; ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS; CALCIUM
CHANNEL BLOCKERS; GANGLIONIC BLOCKERS.
