Caffeic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid, a naturally occurring organic compound. This yellow solid consists of both phenolic and acrylic functional groups. It is found in all plants because it is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of lignin, one of the principal sources of biomass.
Applications: caffeic acid with the general chemical properties of phenolic acids.
(1) the role of caffeic acid to stop bleeding, the bleeding of internal organs better, less toxic.
(2) for whitening, skin care products. Strong absorption of UV absorption wavelength of 243 and 326nm;
(3), caffeic acid can also inhibit protein kinase and tyrosine kinase activity of caffeic acid inhibit lipid peroxidation effect.
(4), caffeic acid have a broad antibacterial and antiviral activity in vitro using a strong effect on adenovirus and parainfluenza are inhibited;
(5) low concentrations inhibit collagenase (Clostridium sp peptide) activity, there are dental caries effect.
