Lipophilic and stable derivatives of ferulic acid are required to improve its effi cacy in fatty foods and to optimize its use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations. We report an improved synthesis of ferulic acid monoesters (ethyl ferulate and lauryl ferulate) using immobilized lipase from Ca...
