Background & aims Clinical trial data have indicated an association between wholegrain consumption and a reduction in surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease. Phenolics present bound to arabinoxylan fibre may contribute these effects, particularly when released enzymatically from the fiber prior ingestion. The aim study was therefore determine whether intake high bread containing higher fre...

Renal fibrosis is a common cause of renal dysfunction with chronic kidney disease. Central to this process is epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) of proximal tubular epithelial cells driven by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) signaling. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Ferulic acid (FA) on EMT of renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line (NRK-52E) induced by ...

Three phenylpropanoids (ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid) are simultaneously separated and determined within 13 min by a new capillary electrophoresis method using 15 mmol/L sodium borate (pH 8.71) as run buffer. The optimum conditions for the separation as well as the analytical characteristics, such as the calibration graph and limit of detection (LOD) for the determination of...

Ferulic acid, a phenolic acid derived mainly from a Chinese herb Angelica Sinensis Radix (ASR), was reported to reduce the formation of free radicals. Danggui Buxue Tang (DBT), a herbal decoction composing of Astragali Radix (AR) and ASR, has been utilized for more than 800 years in China having known anti-oxidative property. Ferulic acid is a major active ingredient in DBT; however, the role o...

Ethyl ferulate (FAEE) has been widely studied due to its beneficial heath properties and, when incorporated in creams, shows a high sun protection capacity. Here we aimed to compare FAEE and its precursor, ferulic acid (FA), as free radical scavengers, inhibitors of oxidants produced by leukocytes and the alterations in rheological properties when incorporated in emulsion based creams. The cell...

The measurement of deprotonation sites in multifunctional molecules following electrospray ionization is important to better inform a wide range spectroscopic and photophysical studies that use prepare molecular species for study the gas phase. We demonstrate low-resolution UV–vis laser photodissociation spectroscopy can be applied situ identify deprotomers three coumaric acids, trans-para-coum...

Abstract Weight loss, microbial spoilage and enzymatic browning are the main quality-determining processes which limit shelf-life of fresh-cut apples. In this study, two edible coatings based on Aloe vera gel (AV) sodium alginate cross-linked with calcium lactate (AC), addition 10 mg/mL ferulic acid (FA) as a functional ingredient, were developed in order to prolong quality safety apple discs. ...

There is growing interest in recovering ferulic acid from plant sources for use as feedstock for several high-value applications. Jojoba meal was examined as a potential source of ferulic acid. The feruloyl esterase domain of the Clostridium thermocellum cellulosomal xylanase was employed to hydrolyze ferulic acid from defatted jojoba meal. Esterase treatment produced 6.7 g of ferulic acid/kg o...

The pattern of change in the endogenous levels of several plant hormones and hydroxycinnamic acids in addition to growth and photosynthetic performance was investigated in banana plants (Musa acuminata cv. "Grand Nain") subjected to various cycles of drought. Water stress was imposed by withholding irrigation for six periods with subsequent rehydration. Data showed an increase in abscisic acid ...
