The feasibility of a two-step chemoenzymatic synthesis of phytosteryl ferulates was successfully established in this work. An intermediate vinyl ferulate was first chemically produced and subsequently esterified with phytosterols through alcoholysis with Candida rugosa as a catalyst. The structures of phytosteryl ferulates were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and high-performance chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) under both positive and negative ion modes. The antioxidant activity of phytosteryl ferulates was higher than that of the starting material and the intermediate in the assays employed. The results indicated that phytosteryl ferulates had a good potential to be used as food antioxidants and may also serve as cholesterol-lowering agents.

Ferulic acid (FA) exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it valuable for numerous industrial applications. Traditionally, FA is produced by the alkaline hydrolysis of -oryzanol, which is typically associated with wastewater generation. Recently, an increasing demand of natural FA necessitates its green production via enzymatic hydrolysis of -oryzanol, a mixture comprising triterpene alcohol ferulates and phytosteryl ferulates.

In this study, a one-step method for producing phytosteryl phenolates, namely phytosteryl cinnamate and ferulate, has been successfully developed and their chemical structures were confirmed by FT-IR, MS and NMR. The highest yield of phytosteryl ferulate (85.7%) was obtained at 100 °C for 2 h after optimization.

As part of a comprehensive study of the physiochemical and biological properties of phytosteryl phenolates, successfully synthesized chemoenzymatically in our lab, their antioxidant activity was evaluated using three different in vitro model systems, namely bulk oil model system, β-carotene-linoleate model system and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) oxidation assay. In the bulk oil system, phytosteryl phenolates showed similar or lower antioxidant activity compared with those of phenolic acids. However, in β-carotene-linoleate assay, an emulsion model system, phytosteryl phenolates showed enhanced antioxidant activity except phytosteryl ferulates.

Purpose: The objective was to investigate the metabolic fate of phytosteryl/-stanyl fatty acid and ferulic acid esters upon consumption by healthy humans.
Methods: A capillary gas chromatographic methodology was employed to follow a randomized, single-blind three group crossover clinical trial and to quantify simultaneously individual intact esters, liberated phytosterols/-stanols and their metabolites in feces. Skimmed milk drinking yogurts enriched with complex mixtures of phytosteryl/-stanyl fatty acid esters and ferulates, respectively, were employed as food carriers.

γ-Oryzanol (γ-ORZ) is a mixture of phytosteryl ferulates purified from rice bran oil. In this study, we examined whether γ-ORZ represents a suppressive effect on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced adhesion molecule expression on vascular endothelium. Treatment with LPS elevated the mRNA expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and E-selectin in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs).
