• Abstract:

  
  I. Background
  Ferulic acid and Caffeic acid, which are naturally occurring phenols present in a wide variety of plants, inhibit nitrosamine formation and also exhibit anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects
  in vivo
  . Recently, we confirmed their suppressive effects on the production of melanin pigment in mouse B16 melanoma cells.
