Ferulic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid, a type of organic compound. It is an abundant phenolic phytochemical found in plant cell wall components such as arabinoxylans as covalent side chains. It is related to trans-cinnamic acid. As a component of lignin, ferulic acid is a precursor in the manufacture of other aromatic compounds. The etymology is from Ferula, referring to the giant fennel (Ferula communis).
Applications:
As a precursor to vanillin
Ferulic acid, being highly abundant, may be useful as a precursor in the manufacturing of vanillin, a synthetic flavoring agent often used in place of natural vanilla extract.[7] However, biotechnological processes may be the most efficient method to use ferulic acid as a precursor,[8] and as such, research is still ongoing.
Mass spectrometry
It is used as a matrix for proteins in MALDI mass spectrometry analyses.
Bitterness masker
Kraft Foods has patented the use of sodium ferulate to mask the bitter aftertaste of the artificial sweetener acesulfame potassium.
