Ferulic acid(CAT: R009986) is a natural phenolic compound (C₁₀H₁₀O₄) belonging to the hydroxycinnamic acid family, widely found in plant cell walls, especially in grains, fruits, and vegetables. Structurally, it features a methoxy and a hydroxy group on an aromatic ring conjugated to a propenoic acid side chain, giving it strong antioxidant properties. Ferulic acid neutralizes free radicals, protects against oxidative stress, and stabilizes other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. It is used in cosmetics for anti-aging and photoprotective formulations, in nutraceuticals for cardiovascular and metabolic health, and in food preservation. Its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and UV-absorbing activities enhance its versatility across health, food, and skincare applications.
