Product Information

• Name: Ethyl hydrocaffeate
• Synonyms: Ethyl beta-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl hydrocaffeate is a phenolic compound and an ester of hydroxycinnamic acid. Ethyl hydrocaffeate is naturally found in many plants, such as, Bidens pilosa. In in vitro cell studies, ethyl hydrocaffeate inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) with an IC50 of 5.5 Όg ml−1in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages (Chiang, 2005). In food, ethyl hydrocaffeate has been tested as an antioxidant at a 0.004% concentration to prevent the generation of off-flavor in ice cream (Gelpi, 1955).
