Description

8,5-Diferulicacid is a dimeric phenolic acid belonging to the hydroxycinnamic acid family, characterized by its specific linkage between two ferulic acid units. This compound matters for its role as a potent antioxidant and a key structural component in plant cell walls, influencing material properties. It is needed by researchers and manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, and advanced material sectors seeking natural bioactive compounds for health and functional applications.

Application

• As a reference standard in analytical chemistry for the quantification of diferulic acids in plant materials, grains, and agricultural products.
• In nutraceutical research for studying antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential cardioprotective biological activities.
• As a biochemical tool in plant science research to investigate cell wall cross-linking, lignin formation, and dietary fiber properties.
• For the development of cosmetic formulations targeting skin protection against oxidative stress and UV-induced damage.
• In the study of food science, particularly in understanding the stability and nutritional quality of whole-grain foods.
• As a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex phenolic compounds for material science applications.

Quality Control

Our 8,5-Diferulicacid is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for research and development use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to air after opening.
