Abstract
Seven ferulic acid esters of 1-alkanols ranging in carbon length from C
16 to C
21 were synthesized and an HPLC protocol for their separation developed. Extracts prepared from wound healing potato (
Solanum tuberosum) tubers and analysed by HPLC indicated that alkyl ferulate esters begin to accumulate 3–7 days after wound treatment. Of the nine esters identified by EIMS, (including two esters of odd chain length alkanols) hexadecyl and octadecyl ferulates were predominant. Alkyl ferulate esters were restricted to the wound periderm.
