Rice Extract Sample Containing Vanillic Acid and Feruloylsucrose
Click HERE for Column Ordering Information.

When commercial Rice Extracts were analyzed, only Vanillic Acid (Peak 1) was found in one out of 3 Extracts and 6′-O-Feruloylsucrose (peak 2) was found in all 3 extracts. The results were confirmed by analyzing spiked Rice Extract samples. The analysis was done in a single run by switching polarity between positive and negative ionization mode.

According to the literature [1], a Rice Extract should contain following compounds: Gallic Acid, Vanillic Acid, p-Coumaric Acid, Ferulic Acid, 3,5 Dimethoxy-4-Hydroxycinnamic Acid, Syringic Acid, Caffeic Acid, and 6′-O-Feruloylsucrose.
