Chemical Information
FooDB NameCaffeic acid
DescriptionCaffeic acid, also known as trans-caffeate or sodium caffeate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxycinnamic acids. Hydroxycinnamic acids are compounds containing an cinnamic acid where the benzene ring is hydroxylated. Caffeic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Caffeic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cereals and cereal products, chickpea, grape wines, common pea, and coffee and coffee products. This could make caffeic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.

    immunostimulant50847 A substance that augments, stimulates, activates, potentiates, or modulates the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. A classical agent (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contains bacterial antigens. It could also be endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Its mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy is related to its antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.DUKE
