Application Notes

Ferulic acid is a common plant metabolite, found in many grains, biosynthetically formed by degradation of lignin and lignocellulose. Ferulic acid is a member of the phenylpropanoid class of lignin biosynthetic precursors. The biochemical and pharmacological activity of ferulic acid has > 20,000 SciFinder entries and the area is well reviewed by Guzman (2014) and Sharma (2011). Ferulic acid a useful standard for analytical and bioassay dereplication as a metabolite commonly encountered in microbial fermentations.
