Natural Ferulic Acid

Ferulic acid is a kind of phenolic acid extracted from the resin of ferulic acid. Ferulic acid has good biological activity, so it has high application value in healthcare products and cosmetic raw materials.

Natural Ferulic acid widely exists in plants in nature, and its chemical name is 4-hydroxy-methoxy cinnamic acid, which is a phenolic acid commonly found in plants. Because ferulic acid is rich in Angelica sinensis, and most of it is extracted from Angelica sinensis, it is also called Angelica element in academic circles. Ferulic acid not only exists in Angelica sinensis, but also in Chuanxiong, Equisetum, Cimicifuga, and many other traditional Chinese medicines, all of which are derivatives of cinnamic acid.

Some experts and scholars even believe that ferulic acid is one of the main functional components of ferula, angelica, Chuanxiong, and other Chinese medicinal materials, and it has very important biological functions. Of course, ferulic acid rarely exists in a free state in plants, and it mainly exists in plants in combination with oligosaccharides, polyamines, lipids, and polysaccharides. Current studies have confirmed that there are two main derivatives of ferulic acid, namely sodium ferulate and ferulic acid ester. These two derivatives basically reflect and maintain the biological characteristics of ferulic acid.

The natural plant active ingredient - ferulic acid has been gradually applied in the field of beauty cosmetics, especially its whitening, freckle removal, sun protection, and other functions, which have injected new vitality into the modern beauty cosmetics industry that is advancing by leaps and bounds.

The physical and chemical properties of ferulic acid are very special. Its melting point is 174°C, almost insoluble in water, but its solubility can be significantly improved after heating, especially in organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether, acetone, and other organic solvents. It is easy to dissolve and has good heat resistance but is sensitive to light. In comparison, sodium ferulate is relatively stable in nature, easily soluble in water, and can be synthesized artificially. At the same time, ferulic acid has good light absorption, especially for 290-330nm ultraviolet absorption, which has laid a good foundation for its application in the field of cosmetics.

Ferulic acid can be absorbed by the human body and can be excreted in the urine in time. It will not accumulate in the human body and cause cumulative toxicity.

In particular, ferulic acid is easy to be metabolized by the human body, and its toxicity is extremely low, so it is relatively safe to use. Therefore, ferulic acid is widely used in the medicine and food industry.

Theoretically speaking, ferulic acid has a certain degree of transdermal absorption capacity, and the research results of some experts and scholars have also confirmed this conclusion. For example, some researchers found that the volatile oil of Angelica sinensis significantly promotes the transdermal absorption of its water-soluble component, ferulic acid, but the effect does not increase with the concentration. In addition, some researchers found that the ferulic acid content decreased with the prolongation of the patch time through the study of the ferulic acid skin penetration rate of the patch containing ferulic acid, which shows that the main functional component of the drug, ferulic acid, has been partially absorbed through the skin. The researchers also found that the skin penetration rate of ferulic acid is closely related to the skin action time. It is 2.76 times that of 12 hours after 24 hours and 4.15 times that of 12 hours after 36 hours, which shows that ferulic acid not only has good skin permeability but also that the skin transdermal absorption of ferulic acid increases with the prolongation of action time.

Currently, the application fields of ferulic acid are mainly concentrated in two areas: the field of medicine and health, and the food industry. Many finished medicines and injections containing ferulic acid have emerged in the field of medicine and health. Furthermore, researchers have discovered that many of these finished medicines contain ferulic acid and exhibit the biological functions of ferulic acid in their applications.
In the food industry, ferulic acid is primarily utilized in the production of natural vanillin, antioxidants, preservatives, cross-linking agents, and function accelerators. Developed countries such as Europe and the United States have permitted the use of certain traditional Chinese medicines, caffeic acid, and vanilla beans, which contain high levels of ferulic acid, as antioxidants. Japan has also approved the use of ferulic acid as a food antioxidant and other food additives.

Application of ferulic acid in the food industry
At present, Japan has approved the use of ferulic acid as a food antioxidant, and the United States and some European countries have also begun to use some substances with higher ferulic acid content as antioxidants to preserve foods. In my country, ferulic acid is widely used as a food additive in the food industry.

Application of ferulic acid in the cosmetics industry
Ferulic acid is favored by the cosmetics industry because it has strong anti-oxidation and scavenging effects of oxygen free radicals and has the effect of inhibiting tyrosinase activity, which can delay skin aging and whiten skin.. in addition, ferulic acid has sun protection ability and good ultraviolet absorption around 290-330 which can prevent and reduce the damage of this wavelength of ultraviolet rays to the skin.

Application of ferulic acid in the healthcare products industry
Because of its anti-oxidant and anti-thrombotic effects, it is widely used in the field of health care products.

Ferulic acid offers numerous functions and effects, some of which provide new avenues for its application. For instance, its antioxidant effect, ultraviolet absorption effect, melanocyte proliferation and tyrosinase inhibition, endothelin antagonist effect, blood circulation promotion effect, hormone secretion stimulation effect, and anti-allergic effect may pave the way for its application in the beauty and cosmetics industry. This provides new research and development ideas and application pathways for skin beauty, whitening, freckle removal, and anti-aging.
Experts have speculated that based on systematic scientific theory and experimental research, the correct and rational application of ferulic acid in the field of modern beauty and cosmetics could usher in a new era for ferulic acid application, opening up broad prospects for its utilization.
