Ferulic acid is a polyphenolic compound that has been found to exhibit various beneficial properties such as being antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, etc. It is a lesser-known phenolic compound in the oil palm. The presence of ferulic acid was detected in various parts of the oil palm and its products such as the fruits, mesocarp fibre, empty fruit bunch (EFB), palm kernel cake (PKC) and fronds. The amount of ferulic acid that could be recovered from these sources depends largely on the extraction methods. Nevertheless, the oil palm and its products are good sources for the cultivation of natural ferulic acid.
