Ferulic acid

Ferulic acid was originally found in the seeds and leaves of plants. It is a phenolic acid widely present in plants. It combines with polysaccharides and proteins in the cell wall to form the skeleton of the cell wall, and rarely exists in free form. It has a high content in Chinese medicinal materials such as Asafoetida, Cohosh, Angelica, and Jujube seed, and is one of the effective ingredients of these Chinese medicines. Ferulic acid is present in edible plants such as onions and yellow chrysanthemums. The content of ferulic acid in food materials such as husks, coffee, wheat bran, rice bran, bagasse and beet meal is also high.
