Abstract

VERDANT SOURCE OF FERULIC ACID

Karishma Rajbhar* and Himanshu Dawda

ABSTRACT

Ferulic acid is a phenolic compound of plant origin having molecular formula C10H10O4 and molar mass of 194.18 g mol?1. IUPAC name of ferulic acid is called 3-(4-hydroxy-3- methoxyphenyl) propenoic acid. Ferulic acid is commercially available in the form of a white to off-white crystalline powder. It forms two geometric (cis and trans) isomers. The trans isomer is a white crystalline substance whereas the cis-isomer is a yellowish liquid substance. Ferulic acid occurs mainly as a trans isomer. It is a phenolic compound which is present in different parts of plants including fruits and leaves (Jankovska et al., 2001 and Shakeel et al., 2017). Phenolic compounds are comprised of a heterogeneous class of natural products with an aromatic ring moiety linked to one or more hydroxyl groups. Phenolics are usually divided into simple phenols, phenolic acids, and polyphenols. Ferulic acid is a phenolic acid isolated for the first time from Ferula foetida (Apiaceae) around the middle of the 19th century (Oliveira et al., 2017).
