Definition
5-Hydroxyferulic acid (CAS: 1782-55-4), also known as 3-(3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxy)-2-propenoic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxycinnamic acids. Hydroxycinnamic acids are compounds containing a cinnamic acid where the benzene ring is hydroxylated. Outside of the human body, 5-hydroxyferulic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as common salsifies, napa cabbages, sparkleberries, nectarines, and Chinese chestnuts. This could make 5-hydroxyferulic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 5-Hydroxyferulic acid is found in green vegetables. 5-Hydroxyferulic acid is isolated from bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis).
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxycinnamic acids. Hydroxycinnamic acids are compounds containing an cinnamic acid where the benzene ring is hydroxylated.
