Note
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).
