Higher alcohols with a carbon length ranging from 16 to 30 found in the lipophilic fraction from potato pulp were shown to be present as ferulate and in a free form, but not as wax. Thin-layer chromatography of the neutral lipids in potato pulp indicated a few spots with scavenging activity toward the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) stable radical, the major active component being characterized as alkyl ferulate which showed almost the same level of activity as γ-oryzanol.
