Abstract

Feruloyl esters of ?-hydroxyacids were found in the alcoholysis products of suberin from Quercus suber cork. Their identification was made from mass spectra and by comparison with synthetic model compounds. The co-hydroxyls of suberinic hydroxyacids are thought to be the ester-bonding points between suberin aliphatics and associated aromatics.
