Ferulic Acid is a potent, plant-based antioxidant commonly found in the cell walls of rice bran, oats, wheat, and other grains.
Extracted from rice bran, it has gained immense popularity in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries due to its exceptional antioxidant properties, which help combat oxidative stress, neutralize free radicals, and protect skin from environmental damage.
Ferulic Acid is 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid, which is one of the derivatives of cinnamic acid (also known as cinnamic acid, 3-phenyl 2 acrylic acid, molecular structure).
Ferulic acid can scavenge free radicals, promote the production of free radical scavenging enzymes, increase the activity of glutathione S-transferase and purine reductase, and inhibit tyrosinase activity to regulate human physiology.
Ferulic Acid is high-contained in Chinese herbal medicines such as Awei, Angelica, Chuanxiong, Cimicifuga, and Suanzaoren. It is one of the active ingredients of these traditional Chinese medicines and has been used as one of the quality indicators of proprietary Chinese medicines.
Among the food ingredients, the content of ferulic acid in coffee, chaff, vanilla bean, wheat bran and rice bran is also high. In recent years, studies on pharmacological effects have found that many ferulic acids and derivatives have pharmacological effects and biological activities, and their toxicity is low, so they have a wide range of uses in medicine, health care products, cosmetic raw materials and food additives.
Ferulic Acid is sparingly soluble in water but is more soluble in ethanol and other organic solvents, such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide (DMF), The solubility of ferulic acid in these solvents is approximately 10, 15, and 20 mg/ml, respectively, making it versatile for incorporation into various formulations, especially in skincare and dietary supplements.
The flowchart outlines the extraction process of Ferulic Acid from Rice Bran. Here’s a simplified summary of the process:
This method extracts ferulic acid, a valuable antioxidant, from rice bran, purifying it through a series of chemical treatments and mechanical processes.
