Application

<ul>
<li><strong>High-resolution imaging of plant tissues:</strong> 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMACA) is used as a PA-specific fluorescent dye that allows localization of PAs at high resolution in cell walls and inside cells using confocal microscopy, revealing features of previously unreported wall-bound PAs (Chowdhury et al., 2022).</li>
<li><strong>Chromogenic reagent for dietary supplements:</strong> DMACA serves as a chromogenic reagent in a microplate spectrophotometric method, used for the analysis of indole-3-carbinol in dietary supplements, demonstrating its utility in enhancing the accuracy of supplement analysis (Chaisiwamongkhol et al., 2022).</li>
<li><strong>Development of fluorescent chemosensors:</strong> Utilized in the synthesis of the chemosensor NBF, which is employed for the detection of cyanide ions (Gao et al., 2022).</li>
