Pure Ferulic Acid Powder

What is Pure Ferulic Acid Powder?

Pure Ferulic Acid Powder is a type of phenolic acid. Widespread in natural plants. It is often cross-linked with lignin and polysaccharides to form part of the cell wall of plants and is rarely free. Its chemical name is 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy cinnamic acid (C10H10O4, relative molecular mass 194.19). It is a derivative of cinnamic acid (ie, cinnamic acid, 3-phenyl-2-acrylic acid), with cis and trans structures. 

Trans-ferulic acid is a white to slightly yellow crystal, and cis is a yellow oily substance, usually in the form of square crystals or fibrous crystals. Generally referring to its trans form, the melting point is 174 ℃. Ferulic acid is soluble in hot water, slightly soluble in cold water, and has poor stability in aqueous solutions. It can form sodium salt and has good pH stability. Soluble in methanol, ethanol, and acetone; insoluble in benzene, petroleum ether. Easily decomposed when exposed to light.

pure ferulic acid  Application:

1. Pharmaceutical application

Some Chinese herbal medicines are rich in ferulic acids, such as Angelica, Chuan Shao, and so on. Usually, ferulic acid is used as the active ingredient to evaluate the pros and cons of these medicinal materials. It is now known that ferulic acid and its derivatives have anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-ultraviolet radiation, and anti-free radical effects, as well as regulating the body's immune function. In addition, ferulic acid can effectively reduce the viscosity of human blood, remove the deposition of blood lipids in the blood vessel wall, and promote blood microcirculation , so that the skin is nourished. At the same time, it can also effectively regulate endocrine, reduce the deposition of skin pigment, and thus contribute to skin anti-aging.

2. Food application

The popularity of ferulic acid in health supplements. Generally speaking, the application of ferulic acid in food is mainly used as a food antioxidant. Such adding in noodles, meat products, etc., can significantly improve the quality of food. In addition, if used together with VE and VC, there will be a stronger synergistic effect and better antioxidant effect.

3. Cosmetic application

Pure Ferulic acid is favored by the cosmetic industry because of its two major characteristics. One is that it has good ultraviolet absorption near 290-330 nm, and 305-310 nm ultraviolet rays are most likely to induce skin erythema. Second, ferulic acid has a strong antioxidant effect and has the effect of inhibiting tyrosinase. Thereby it has the effect of inhibiting skin aging and whitening the skin. Therefore, ferulic acid and its derivatives have been widely used in cosmetics.

Is Pure Ferulic Acid Powder Safe?

pure Ferulic acid can be absorbed by the body and can be excreted in the urine in time. Does not accumulate in the human body, causing cumulative toxicity.

Therefore, ferulic acid is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

How To Extract Pure Ferulic Acid Powder

There are currently many preparation processes for ferulic acid, and there are mainly two types of methods. i.e. artificial

Methods of chemical synthesis and extraction from plants.

The artificial chemical synthesis method is one of the ferulic acids commonly used preparation methods. The simple process uses vanillaldehyde and malonic acid as raw materials, anhydrous pyridine as a solvent, and piperidine as a catalyst to obtain artificially synthesized ferulic acid through a condensation reaction.

Preparation and extraction of ferulic acid from plants. Such methods can obtain ferulic acid from plants through three routes.

First. Obtained from the combination of ferulic acid with some small molecules;

Second. It is obtained from the cell walls of some plants. In addition to Angelica and Chuanxiong, there are Weilingxian, Motherwort, Suanzaoren, Burnet, and Ligusticum. Ferulic acid can also be extracted from Chinese herbal medicines such as konjac, propolis, and Duhuo;

Third. Obtained by tissue culture of specific cells. For example, many sodium ferulates (SF) currently used in China are extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Angelica Sinensis for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
