“…Very recently, trimers of ferulic acid have also been found by Rouau et al (2003) and Bunzel et al (2003). This may contribute to the control of cell wall extensibility and growth (Graham and Åman 1984); however, such compounds may also limit cell wall degradability by rumen microorganisms (Borneman et al 1986;Ishii 1997;Iiyama and Lam 2001) thus decreasing the digestibility of plant cell walls by ruminants (Brézillon et al 1996;Iiyama and Lam 2001).…”

“…Recent research shows that cleavage of esterified linkages by purified cinnamoyl esterases such as ferulic acid esterase within the plant cell wall matrix may be the key to improving digestion of complex plant cell wall materials (Williamson et al 1998a, b;Wang and McAllister 2002) Ferulic Acid in Plant Cell Walls and the Association between Ferulic Aicd and Lignin/ Polysaccharides In complex plant cell walls, ferulic acid is ubiquitous (Brézillon et al 1996), and is particularly high in the cell walls of cereal grains Brézillon et al 1996;Bartolomé et al 1997a, b). The levels of ferulic acid in the cell walls of several plants are as follows: barley hull 1.4 µg mg -1 (Tenkanen et al 1991), oat hulls 2.2 to 3.8 µg mg -1 (Garleb et al 1988(Garleb et al , 1991Yu et al 2002a, b), barley spent grain 3.2 µg mg -1 (Bartolomé et al 1997a(Bartolomé et al , 1997b(Bartolomé et al and 1999, wheat bran (de-starched) 5.0 to 7.3 µg mg -1 (Bartolomé et al 1995;Faulds and Williamson 1995), maize bran 32 µg mg -1 (de-starched and de-proteined) ) and sugar beet pulp 8.7 µg mg -1 .…”

. 2005. Hydroxycinnamic acids and ferulic acid esterase in relation to biodegradation of complex plant cell walls. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 85: 255-267. Ferulic acid (3-methoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic acid), present in complex plant cell walls, is covalently cross-linked to polysaccharides by ester bonds and to components of lignin mainly by ether bonds. Ferulic acid has also been shown to occur in dimer-and trimerized forms through oxidative coupling between esterified and/or etherified ferulic acid residues. These cross-links are among the factors most inhibitory to digestion of complex plant cell walls in ruminants. Recently obtained information on ferulic acid and ferulic acid esterases in relation to complex plant cell wall biodegradation is reviewed. A focus of the review is on structural characteristics of plant cell walls associated with ferulic acid, physicochemical properties of ferulic acid esterase and synergistic interaction between ferulic acid esterase and other accessary cell wall degrading enzymes on the release of ferulic acid and plant cell wall biodegradation. L'acide férulique (acide 3-méthoxy-4-hydroxycinnamique) présent dans la paroi cellulosique des plantes évoluées, se lie par covalence aux polysaccharides grâce à des ponts ester ainsi qu'aux composantes de la lignine principalement grâce à des ponts éther. On sait aussi que l'acide férulique se rencontre sous la forme de dimères et de trimères consécutivement à un couplage oxydatif entre ses résidus estérifiés ou éthérifiés. Ces liens croisés figurent parmi les facteurs qui entravent le plus la digestion de la paroi cellulosique des plantes complexes par les ruminants. Les auteurs passent en revue des données récentes sur l'acide férulique et ses estérases, et sur la digestion de la paroi cellulosique des plantes évoluées. Ils insistent en particulier sur les caractéristiques structurales de la paroi cellulosique associées à l'acide férulique, sur les propriétés physicochimiques de l'estérase de l'acide férulique et sur l'action synergique de l'estérase de l'acide férulique et des enzymes accessoires à la dégradation de la paroi cellulosique sur la libération de l'acide férulique et la digestion de la paroi cellulosique par les ruminants.

. 2002. The interactive effects of enriched sources of Aspergillus ferulic acid esterase and Trichoderma xylanase on the quantitative release of hydroxycinnamic acids from oat hulls. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 82: 251-257. Oat hulls contain relatively high amounts of hydroxycinnamic acids, mainly ferulic (4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic) and p-coumaric acids (4-hydroxy-cinnamic), which are inhibitory to cell wall biodegradability by rumen microorganisms. In this paper, a study of the interactive effects of enriched sources of Aspergillus ferulic acid esterase (A-FAE) and Trichoderma xylanase (T-XYL) at different levels on the quantitative release of ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid from oat hulls was carried out. The results show that relative to A-FAE alone, the combined action of A-FAE and T-XYL was superior in causing the release of ferulic acid [up to 41.0% (± 2.1%)], indicating that T-XYL is important in acting with A-FAE in the degradation of feruloyl-polysaccharides of oat hulls. There was no effect of A-FAE alone, but a significant effect of A-FAE in combination with T-XYL on the release of p-coumaric acid from oat hulls. However, there was no extensive release of p-coumaric acid [(maximum release of 9.0% (± 0.7%)] by A-FAE in the presence of T-XYL, indicating a specificity of A-FAE for feruloyl groups, which only efficiently releases ferulic acid and not p-coumaric acid from oat hulls. This study suggests that A-FAE with T-XYL has an interactive effect to be able to break the ester linkage between ferulic acid and the attached sugar, releasing a significant proportion of the ferulic acid from oat hulls. This action, which causes disruption of crosslinks, has the potential to improve hydrolysis of the remaining polysaccharides by rumen microorganisms, which, in turn, would improve rumen degradability of oat hulls. ] que l'A-FAE seule, signe que le T-XYL joue un rôle important en intervenant avec l'A-FAE dans la dégradation des féruloyl-polysaccharides présents dans la bale d'avoine. Si l'A-FAE seule n'agit pas sur la libéra-tion de l'acide p-coumarique par la bale d'avoine, son action est importante une fois combinée au T-XYL. En présence de T-XYL, l'A-FAE n'entraîne toutefois pas la libération d'une grande quantité d'acide p-coumarique (maximum de 9,0 (± 0,7) %). On en déduit que l'A-FAE agit spécifiquement sur les groupes féruloyle, qui permettent la libération d'acide férulique mais pas d'acide p-coumarique dans la bale. Les résultats donnent à penser qu'en interagissant avec le T-XYL, l'A-FAE réussit à briser le pont ester qui fixe l'acide férulique à son sucre, libérant ainsi une quantité importante de cet acide dans la bale d'avoine. Cette action perturbe les ponts intercaténaires, ce qui pourrait améliorer l'hydrolyse des autres polysaccharides par les microorganismes du rumen, donc aboutir à une meilleure dégradation de la bale d'avoine.Mots clés: Estérase de l'acide férulique, bale d'avoine, acides hydroxycinnamiques, biodégradation 251Oat hulls comprise 26 to 31% of the weight of the oat seed, and are an a...

Sugar beet pulp (SBP) is a waste product of the sugar industry which is rich in ferulic acid. Few ferulic acid esterases (FAEs) that are capable of releasing ferulic acid from SBP or from SBP soluble feruloylated oligosaccharides (SFO‐SBP) have been described. Streptomyces avermitilis CECT 3339 was grown in medium containing SBP or destarched wheat bran (DSWB) as the carbon source. FAE activity was evaluated in terms of the micro‐organism's capacity to release ferulic acid from DSWB, SBP, SFO‐DSWB and SFO‐SBP. S avermitilis showed FAE activity in both media and was able to release ferulic acid from DSWB, SFO‐DSWB and SFO‐SBP. A comparison of the FAE activity detected in each medium indicated that different activities were induced by each type of carbon source. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
