This study, which was conducted by researchers from Northwest A&F University in China, compared the protective effects of chicoric acid (CA) and its metabolites, caffeic acid (CFA) and caftaric acid (CTA), on biomolecules against inflammatory responses. Published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness, this study demonstrates the activity and potential of CA and its metabolites as natural antioxidants.
The results of this study provide scientific basis for the application of CA and its metabolites as natural antioxidants and food components for nutrition.
