title: Measurement of feruloyl/p-coumaroyl esterase by capillary zone electrophoresis.
abstract: Ferulic andp-coumaric acid can be separated from their corresponding aliphatic methyl esters by capillary zone electrophoresis, which allows the convenient determination of feruloyl andp-coumaroyl esterase activities using synthetic esters as substrates. A feruloyl-containing sugar ester from wheat bran was also efficiently separated and used as substrate for the enzyme assays.Penicillium expansum was shown to produce feruloyl/p-coumaroyl esterase activity when grown on wheat bran in solid-state culture.
