“…The resistance of the pericarp cells is attributed to the presence of these compounds and their abundance has been associated to resistance toward the development of fumonisins [37,38] and tolerance to warehouse pests [15,39]. The presence of ferulic acid dehydrotrimers was reported by Rouau et al [40] in maize bran, which is a fraction that is composed of remnants of pericarp and aleurone layer. Until now, seven different ferulic acid dehydrotrimers have been identified [35].…”

Among the cereals most consumed by humans, maize grain is in the third position, surpassed only by rice and wheat. In several countries, maize grain is the main source of carbohydrates and proteins. Maize grain is ranked as one of the cereals with the highest content of phenolic compounds. The importance for human health of the consumption of phenolic compounds is due to their proved antioxidant activity. Diets with high amount of antioxidants have been associated with a reduced probability of sufering degenerative chronic diseases. In maize grain, the phenolic acids predominate, among which the main is ferulic acid, followed by p-coumaric acid, which are highly abundant in their bound forms. However, other phenolics such as anthocyanins, lavonols, and lavanols have been identiied in colored maize grains. Additionally, the processing of maize grain into diferent products for human consumption incorporates changes both in quantity and quality of some phenolic compounds. In the present chapter, we present the most recent information available regarding phenolic compounds in maize grain and their nixtamalized products.

“…It is also possible to dimerise between esterified and/or etherified ferulic acid residues by oxidative (peroxidase-catalyzed) coupling (Geissmann and Neukom 1971;Graham and Åman 1984;Eraso and Hartley 1990;Iiyama et al 1994;Wallace and Fry 1995;Grabber et al 1995Grabber et al , 1998Grabber et al , 2000Ralph et al 1994;Brézillon et al 1996;Bartolomé et al 1997a, b;Kroon et al 1999;Saulnier et al 1999;Bunzel et al 2001;Iiyama and Lam 2001). Very recently, trimers of ferulic acid have also been found by Rouau et al (2003) and Bunzel et al (2003). This may contribute to the control of cell wall extensibility and growth (Graham and Åman 1984); however, such compounds may also limit cell wall degradability by rumen microorganisms (Borneman et al 1986;Ishii 1997;Iiyama and Lam 2001) thus decreasing the digestibility of plant cell walls by ruminants (Brézillon et al 1996;Iiyama and Lam 2001).…”

“…Futhermore cross-linking of corn heteroxylans by diferulates is by far the highest among the common cereals (Bunzel et al 2001). In recent studies, ferulic acid trimers were found in corn bran (Bunzel et al 2003;Rouau et al 2003). This may further affect release of ferulic acid from complex cell wall of corn bran by ferulic acid esterase.…”

Ferulic acid also forms dimers (Ralph et al 1994;Brézillon et al 1996;Bartolomé et al 1997a, b;Kroon et al 1999;Iiyama and Lam 2001) or trimers (Bunzel et al 2003;Rouau et al 2003). As a result, polysaccharides become extensively cross-linked by ferulate dimerization or trimerization and incorporation to lignin (Crabber et al 1995(Crabber et al , 2000Bunzel et al 2003;Rouau et al 2003).…”

. 2005. Hydroxycinnamic acids and ferulic acid esterase in relation to biodegradation of complex plant cell walls. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 85: 255-267. Ferulic acid (3-methoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic acid), present in complex plant cell walls, is covalently cross-linked to polysaccharides by ester bonds and to components of lignin mainly by ether bonds. Ferulic acid has also been shown to occur in dimer-and trimerized forms through oxidative coupling between esterified and/or etherified ferulic acid residues. These cross-links are among the factors most inhibitory to digestion of complex plant cell walls in ruminants. Recently obtained information on ferulic acid and ferulic acid esterases in relation to complex plant cell wall biodegradation is reviewed. A focus of the review is on structural characteristics of plant cell walls associated with ferulic acid, physicochemical properties of ferulic acid esterase and synergistic interaction between ferulic acid esterase and other accessary cell wall degrading enzymes on the release of ferulic acid and plant cell wall biodegradation. L'acide férulique (acide 3-méthoxy-4-hydroxycinnamique) présent dans la paroi cellulosique des plantes évoluées, se lie par covalence aux polysaccharides grâce à des ponts ester ainsi qu'aux composantes de la lignine principalement grâce à des ponts éther. On sait aussi que l'acide férulique se rencontre sous la forme de dimères et de trimères consécutivement à un couplage oxydatif entre ses résidus estérifiés ou éthérifiés. Ces liens croisés figurent parmi les facteurs qui entravent le plus la digestion de la paroi cellulosique des plantes complexes par les ruminants. Les auteurs passent en revue des données récentes sur l'acide férulique et ses estérases, et sur la digestion de la paroi cellulosique des plantes évoluées. Ils insistent en particulier sur les caractéristiques structurales de la paroi cellulosique associées à l'acide férulique, sur les propriétés physicochimiques de l'estérase de l'acide férulique et sur l'action synergique de l'estérase de l'acide férulique et des enzymes accessoires à la dégradation de la paroi cellulosique sur la libération de l'acide férulique et la digestion de la paroi cellulosique par les ruminants.
