Abstract
- Abstract Ferulic acid (FA) is a hydroxycinnamic acid known for its strong antioxidant activity and potential benefits for intestinal health. However, its poor water solubility and instability limit its effectiveness. To address these issues, different ways have been explored to protect FA against degradation and further exert its potential benefits. This review discusses the absorption and metabolism of FA in the gut, as well as its potential impact on intestinal health. It also compares different intestinal delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, electrospun nanofibers, microcapsules, crossâlinked polymer gels, and Pickering emulsions, which can improve the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of FA in the gastrointestinal tract. This comprehensive review provides valuable insights for using FA in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceuticals products.
