The chemical name of ferulic acid is 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacrylic acid, and its structure is a cinnamic acid derivative, which is essentially a plant phenolic acid. In daily life, it is found in foods such as pasta, cereals, popcorn, and even Chinese herbs such as angelica, chuanxiong, and asclepias also contain ferulic acid.
Around 1970, Japanese researchers discovered that ferulic acid has antioxidant properties, and it has since been used in many fields such as pharmaceuticals, foods, health care, and cosmetics.

Originally found in the seeds and leaves of plants, ferulic acid is a phenolic acid that is widely present in plants and combines with polysaccharides and proteins in the cell wall to form the skeleton of the cell wall. It exists in the leaves and seeds of many plants, and traces of ferulic acid can be seen in five different colors of green, yellow, white, red and black. Its excellent physiological activity allows it to help us become healthier like a magician casts magic.
