4-Coumaric Acid Analysis Service

4-Coumaric acid (p-coumaric acid or known as 4-hydroxycinnamic acid) is a natural phenolic acid widely found in various plants, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and spices. It is a key intermediate in the phenylalanine metabolism pathway and exhibits multiple biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. 4-Coumaric acid plays an essential role in plant defense against pathogens, ultraviolet radiation, and oxidative stress. Studies have also indicated its potential cardiovascular protective effects. Therefore, accurate quantitative and qualitative analysis of 4-coumaric acid is crucial for plant research, food science, and drug development.
