Description

Coniferin is a phenolic compound found in plants. It is a 4-hydroxycinnamic acid ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Coniferin can be used as an additive for food and animal feed, as well as a preservative for cellulose. Coniferin has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, such as K562 cells, by affecting energy metabolism and polymerase chain reaction activities. The physiological effects of coniferin have not been extensively studied but it has been shown to inhibit enzyme activities in plant tissues. Coniferin has also been shown to act synergistically with crystalline cellulose and dihydroconiferyl alcohol to produce HPC powder, which is used for the preparation of HPC-cellulose membranes for protein separation.
