Trans-p-feruloyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside, also known as 1-feruloyl-D-glucose, is a member of the class of compounds known as hydroxycinnamic acid glycosides. Hydroxycinnamic acid glycosides are glycosylated hydoxycinnamic acids derivatives. Trans-p-feruloyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trans-p-feruloyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside can be found in a number of food items such as green bell pepper, pepper (c. annuum), yellow bell pepper, and orange bell pepper, which makes trans-p-feruloyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1-O-feruloyl-beta-D-glucose is a beta-D-glucoside resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of ferulic acid with the anomeric hydroxy group of beta-D-glucose. It has a role as an antioxidant and a plant metabolite. It is a beta-D-glucoside, a cinnamate ester, a member of phenols and an aromatic ether. It is functionally related to a ferulic acid. 1-O-feruloyl-beta-D-glucose is a natural product found in Balanophora japonica, Linaria japonica, and other organisms with data available. Lavandoside is an active compound found from Lavandula spica flowers[1].
