Usage |
In recent years, with the continuous increase in consumers' demand for health and beauty, as well as advancements in extraction and purification technologies due to technological progress, the production scale of natural ferulic acid in China has gradually expanded.
In the production process of natural ferulic acid, which is extracted from rice bran (rice bran extraction), technological advancements and innovations have played a pivotal role. Traditional extraction methods may involve processes such as alcohol extraction, extraction, chromatography, and crystallization, while modern technology has promoted the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly extraction techniques. For instance, new technologies such as enzymatic methods and supercritical fluid extraction are widely used in the extraction of natural ferulic acid. These technologies not only improve extraction efficiency but also reduce production costs and environmental pollution. High purity and large production capacity indicate that China's production capacity for natural ferulic acid will be further enhanced.
In the food supplement industry, natural ferulic acid has become an important additive for food preservation and flavor enhancement due to its exceptional antioxidant and antibacterial properties. In the pharmaceutical and healthcare fields, natural ferulic acid is used to develop medicinal products and health supplements with therapeutic effects, meeting consumers' health needs. Additionally, in the cosmetics industry, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of natural ferulic acid make it an important ingredient for developing skincare products with beauty-enhancing effects.
