Ferulic Acid-Sucrose Esters from Immature Anthers of Tulipa cv. "Apeldoorn"

Abstract
Two ferulic acid conjugates have been isolated from the extract of immature anthers of Tulipa cv. "Apeldoorn" and their structures elucidated using chromatography, electron impact mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy. These two conjugates are 6,3'-diferuloylsucrose and 6,3',4'-triferuloylsucrose. High performance liquid chromatographic analysis of the extract showed that these esters are transient major constituents of the phenylpropanoid pattern of the immature anthers and are present in the ratio of 1:2. Previous investigations showed that these components are accumulated in the loculus.
