1.There are many health functions of Ferulic acid, such as scavenging free radicals, antithrombotic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, inhibiting tumor, preventing hypertension, heart disease, enhancing sperm vitality, etc; It’s toxicity is low and is easy to be metabolized by human body. It can be used as food preservative and has a wide range of uses in food, medicine, etc.
2.Hypolipidemic: Ferulic acid can competitively inhibit the activity of hydroxyvalerate 5 pyrophosphate dehydrogenase in the liver, inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, so as to achieve the goal of lowering blood lipids;
3.Bacteriostasis: The inhibitory effect of ferulic acid on bacteria is more extensive. It has been found that ferulic acid can inhibit the propagation of pathogenic bacteria such as Shigella sonnei, Pneumonia, Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter citri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 11 kinds of microorganisms that cause food corruption.
