Ferulic acid is a phenolic acid widely found in the plant kingdom and was first isolated from Ferula foetida regei in 1866 by Hlasweta.H, a German, hence the name Ferulic Acid. It is found in the seeds and leaves of most plants and has a white or off-white crystalline powder appearance. It is one of the derivatives of lauric acid, which is used to produce natural vanillin and is widely found in the cell walls of cereals, fruits and vegetables to maintain healthy skin and improve skin structure and tone. Studies have shown that Ferulic Acid is one of the active ingredients in many Chinese herbs such as Ferula, Chuanxiong, Angelica, Shengma and Mucuna pruriens, and is one of the main indicators of the quality of these herbs.
There are two types of Ferulic Acid, cis and trans. The cis form is a yellow oily substance, while the trans form is a diagonal square crystal, white or slightly yellowish, and is generally present in nature in the trans structure, which is the structure of our products. The trans structure is mainly used in cosmetic products. Our product Ferulic Acid exists in the form of a solid powder with good stability.
Ferulic Acid has a wide range of roles and is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and beauty and skin care industries.
Application of Ferulic Acid
Food, Health Care, Daily Necessities, Cosmetics, Functional Drink.
Ferulic Acid has strong antioxidant properties and can effectively scavenge many free radicals such as hydrogen peroxide, superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, etc. It is a natural free radical scavenger and can also scavenge excess reactive oxygen species in the body and inhibit oxygen stress by inhibiting the production of lipid peroxide MDA.
Ferulic Acid has an absorption effect on ultraviolet light. Its maximum UV absorption peaks are at 236 nm and 322 nm, which can play a role in preventing or reducing skin damage from UV light in this wavelength range. Ferulic Acid can be used as a natural sunscreen. Used in combination with traditional sunscreens, it can provide dual protection and minimize UV damage to the skin.
Tyrosinase is the key enzyme for melanin formation. The structure of ferulic acid is similar to that of tyrosinase and the natural substrate of tyrosinase, levodopa, which can reduce melanin production by competitively inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, thus achieving a whitening and light spot effect.
Ferulic Acid has anti-inflammatory effect. Some sensitive, fragile and damaged skin is often accompanied by inflammation, and the anti-inflammatory effect of ferulic acid has a certain improvement effect on such skin.
