GfN-Selco Ferulic Acid Synthetic is a synthesized form of ferulic acid, which naturally occurs in plants, primarily in seeds, leaves, and barks, either as a free acid or as an ester. It is typically synthesized via the Knoevenagel condensation of vanillin and malonic acid diethylester in the presence of secondary amines. Ferulic acid usually exists as the trans isomer and is water-soluble. When stored at room temperature, slow isomerization results in an equilibrium ratio of 23% cis and 77% trans. Ferulic acid is known for its multiactive and multifunctional effects.
