Chemicals, which is an abundant phenolic phytochemical found in

aromatic compounds. It is an antioxidant in the sense that it is
reactive toward free radicals such as reactive oxygen species
(ROS). ROS and free radicals are implicated in DNA damage, cancer,
accelerated cell aging. In addition, it may have pro-apoptotic
effects in cancer cells, thereby leading to their destruction.
What'more, Ferulic acid may be effective at preventing cancer
induced by exposure to the carcinogenic compounds benzopyrene and
