This article will introduce a magic substance, the ferulic acid for defending our health.
What’s Ferulic Acid (FA)?
Ferulic acid, the white powder (CAS No.1135-24-6) is an antioxidant. It’s naturally found in the cell wall of plants including bran and certain fruit seeds where it helps to protect and preserve. In addition to the natural source, there is also the synthesis ferulic acid which is from the malonic acid and vanillin with the help of catalyst. The molecular formaula and its powder are seen in the below Fig. 1 and 2.

Benefits of Ferulic Acid
Scientific studies show that the ferulic acid has many surprising benefits as cited from 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel “Ferulic acid has low toxicity and possesses many physiological functions (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial activity, anticancer, and antidiabetic effect). It has been widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industry. Ferulic acid is a free radical scavenger, but also an inhibitor of enzymes that catalyze free radical generation and an enhancer of scavenger enzyme activity. Ferulic acid has a protective role for the main skin structures: keratinocytes, fibroblasts, collagen, elastin. It inhibits melanogenesis, enhances angiogenesis, and accelerates wound healing. It is widely applied in skin care formulations as a photoprotective agent, delayer of skin photoaging processes, and brightening component. Nonetheless, its use is limited by its tendency to be rapidly oxidized”. Ferulic acid (FA)is an antioxidant that works to boost the effects of other antioxidants. When used in skin care products, it helps to protect overall skin integrity by reducing the development of fine lines, spots, and wrinkles.
In addition to skin care, Ferulic acid has been reported to have many physiological functions, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombosis, and anti-cancer activities. It also protects against coronary disease, lowers cholesterol and increases sperm viability. Ferulic acid can be prepared by chemical synthesis and through biological transformation.
