Ferulic Acid functions:

1. Anti-oxidation

Ferulic acid has strong antioxidant properties. It not only scavenges free radicals but also blocks and scavenges enzymes that generate free radicals.

2. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial

Experiments have found that rice bran extract has some inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and yeast, but the effect on mold is poor. As a monomer used in Chinese medicine, it also plays a certain role in the treatment of prion disease.

3. Antithrombotic

Ferulic acid can inhibit the aggregation of collagen and ADP-induced platelet, inhibit the release of serotonin and
thromboxane-like substances, and selectively inhibit the activity of thromboxane synthase, thereby preventing thrombosis.

4. Anti-radiation

Rice bran extract can greatly increase the amount of glutathione and nicotinamide purine dinucleotide phosphate in irradiated cells and have a protective effect on irradiated endothelial cells.

5. Other functions

Ferulic acid also inhibits the oxidation of blood lipids, resists platelet aggregation and thrombosis, improves cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, prevents bone loss, enhances menopausal symptoms in women, and improves memory in the elderly.

Ferulic acid Applications：

1. In the pharmaceutical field:
Clinically, rice bran extract is mainly used to treat vascular illnesses such as arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, glomerular disease, pulmonary hypertension, diabetic vascular disease, vasculitis, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia as adjuvant therapy. It can be used for the treatment of migraine and vascular headaches. It also improves hematopoietic function as a leukocyte-increasing medication. Therefore, ferulic acid can also be used for the treatment of white blood cells and thrombocytopenia.

2. In the food field:
Rice bran extract is mainly used in the food industry to produce natural vanillin, antioxidants, preservatives, cross-linking
agents, and functional accelerators.

3. In the cosmetic field:
Rice bran extract has strong antioxidant and oxygen-free radical scavenging functions and has the effect of inhibiting tyrosinase activity ∞1|, which can delay skin aging and whiten skin. In addition, it has good ultraviolet absorption in the range of 290–330 nm, which can prevent and reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays of this wavelength to the skin.
