BACKGROUND: Tannins added to animal diets may have a positive effect on energy and protein utilisation in the rumen. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of different sources and concentrations (20, 50, 100, 150 and 200 g kg-1 dry matter (DM)) of condensed (acacia and quebracho) and hydrolysable (chestnut and valonea) tannins on rumen microbial fermentation in vitro. The experiment also included a negative control with no tannins (control) and a positive control with monensin (10mg L-1). RESULTS: In vitro gas production and total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration decreased as tannin concentration increased. Addition of acacia, chestnut or valonea tannins at ≥50 g kg-1 or quebracho tannins at ≥100 g kg-1 resulted in a decrease (up to 40%) in methane (CH4) production compared with the control. Valonea tannins were the only tannin source that reduced (-11%) CH4 production at 50 g kg-1 without affecting VFA concentration. Tannin treatments reduced ammonia (NH3) and ...

Crude condensed tannins extracted from Pinus radiata bark (sourced from Tokoroa) with various solvents (Hot water (HW), methanol/water/acetic acid (MWA), acetone/water (AW) and hot aqueous 2% sulphite/urea solution (SFU)) were subjected to Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography to purify the condensed tannins by removing carbohydrate and flavonoid components (crude extracts were approximately 70% condensed tannins). The condensed tannins from the HW and MWA extractions were then fractionated on a Sephadex LH-20 column using a stepwise gradient of methanol, water and acetone to separate the condensed tannins according to molecular weight (MW). Fractions were collected and pooled to give eight final fractions (HW 1-8 and MWA 1-8). Purified and fractionated condensed tannin fractions were then analysed with a range of techniques including 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, acid/phloroglucinol depolymerisation coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV and MS ...

Tannins and bread. Chocolate, red wine, some cheeses, some ice creams, caffeine, beans, nuts, cinnamon, bananas, smoked foods, cigarette smoke, some sour creams, and fermented foods all have at least two things in common. They have all been repeated on numerous lists of possible dietary migraine triggers. And they all, though some may need some explanation, have tannins.. Tannins are naturally occurring complex polyphenolics found in many plants, particularly those with a woody habit. Their main function in nature seems to be one of protection; animals are deterred from eating plants high in tannins because of the bitter, astringent taste. Tannins are complex compounds with molecular weights between 500 and 3,000. There are many different tannins, often divided into two groups: hydrolyzable tannins and condensed tannins. The most often observed property of all tannins is their affinity to bind with proteins, starches, cellulose and minerals. Tanners have taken advantage of this strong protein ...

Enological tannins are widely used in the winemaking process either to improve different wine characteristics (color stability, among others) or to compensate for low tannin levels. In this work, the influence of the addition of two different enological tannins, mainly composed of hydrolysable (ellagitannins) and condensed tannins, on the evolution of color and pigment composition of two different types of model systems containing the five main grape anthocyanins was studied. In addition, the effect of the addition of an enological tannin on the color and pigment composition of red wines made from Vitis vinifera L. cv Tempranillo grapes was also studied by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-MS). Results showed that, in model systems, the addition of the enological tannin favored the formation of anthocyanin-derived pigments, such as A-type and B-type vitisins and flavanol-anthocyanin condensation products, provided that the yeast

There is a conflict of interest between the sorghum producers, for whom condensed tannins in sorghum have agronomic advantages, and sorghum users for whom condensed tannins in sorghum are perceived as nutritionally harmful and unpalatable. However, in recent years there has been growing interest in food phenolics due to their antioxidant potential. Thus, enhancing the content of phenolic compounds in plant foods through selective breeding and/or genetic improvement is now being viewed as a potent dietary option for disease prevention and control. However, the objectionable sensory attributes (bitterness and astringency) of phenolic compounds, especially condensed tannins, have resulted in low consumption of foods rich in these compounds. This study investigated the sensory attributes of products of sorghums varying in total phenol and condensed tannin content as well as their acceptance. A descriptive sensory panel described the sensory attributes including bitterness and astringency of two ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tannic acid (TA) and pistachio by-product tannin extract (PBE) on N utilization and efficiency of microbial nitrogen synthesis (EMNS) in Saanen dairy goats. The experimental design was a change over design with three treatments and three periods using six mid lactation multiparous dairy goats. Tannic acid solution and PBE were added to fresh alfalfa at ensiling to get the final concentration of about 1% tannin as dry matter (DM) basis. Dietary treatments were as follows: 1) untreated alfalfa silage (AS), 2) AS treated with TA (AS+TA) and 3) AS treated with PBE (AS+PBE). Intake of DM, organic matter (OM) and N and also milk yield and composition (as percent or as g/d) were not affected by tannin additions. A considerable shift occurred in the pattern of N excretion in goats fed PBE diet compared to control silage diet. Urinary N losses had a tendency (P|0.10) to lower (17.4 vs. 19.2 g/d) and fecal N losses was higher for goats fed AS + PBE compared

Tannins: Polyphenolic compounds with molecular weights of around 500-3000 daltons and containing enough hydroxyl groups (1-2 per 100 MW) for effective cross linking of other compounds (ASTRINGENTS). The two main types are HYDROLYZABLE TANNINS and CONDENSED TANNINS. Historically, the term has applied to many compounds and plant extracts able to render skin COLLAGEN impervious to degradation. The word tannin derives from the Celtic word for OAK TREE which was used for leather processing.

Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that tannic acid, a plant polyphenol, exerts anticarcinogenic activity in chemically induced cancers. In the present study, tannic acid was found to strongly inhibit tyrosine kinase activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) in vitro (IC50 = 323 nM). In contrast, the inhibition by tannic acid of p60c-src tyrosine kinase (IC50 = 14 μM) and insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IC50 = 5 μM) was much weaker. The inhibition of EGFr tyrosine kinase by tannic acid was competitive with respect to ATP and non-competitive with respect to peptide substrate. In cultured cells, growth factor-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of growth factor receptors, including EGFr, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, and basic fibroblast growth factor receptor, was inhibited by tannic acid. No inhibition of insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor and insulin-receptor substrate-1 was observed. EGF-stimulated growth of HepG2 cells was inhibited in ...

If red wine remains the top priority or the only wine available for your wedding, the best option is to find one that does not have high tannin content.. Wine is classified according to its body type or simply body. Wine body would mean the mouth feel or sensation it gives to the mouth when drank. Since wine contains tannins, different level or volume of tannins gives distinctive feel on the palate.. Red wine could be described as light, medium, or full-bodied - light bearing the least tannins and full containing the most. According to oenophiles (lovers of wine), novice drinkers can easily determine the body of a wine by trying to compare it with other liquids like milk or water. The thicker it feels in the mouth, the higher the tannins and the bigger body. The lighter it feels, the lesser the tannins.. An example of a light-bodied red wine is Beaujolais Nouveau. Made in the Beaujolais region of Burgundy, France, this is made from Gamay grapes found in the said region. This offers a light ...

The fermentation kinetics of leaves of eleven tropical forage legumes varying in phenolic and condensed tannin content were investigated. The leaf samples were from Acacia cyanophylla, Chamaecytisus palmensis, Calliandra sp., Dioclea guianensis, Flemingia macrophylla, Leucaena leucocephala, Sesbania sesban, S. goetzei and three accessions of Tadehagi sp. (accession numbers 13269, 13275 and 23227). The phenolic, condensed tannin (bound condensed tannin and extractable condensed tannin) and non-starch polysaccharide (NSP ≡ to dietary fibre) contents of leaves were determined. Leaves were incubated at 39 °C with rumen micro-organisms in a habitat-simulating medium and the fermentation kinetics investigated using a pressure transducer. The NSP content of leaves both pre-and post-incubation was quantified and proportional losses of the NSP constituents calculated. The NSP content of leaves ranged from 124-252 mg g−1 dry matter, the major components in each case being cellulose-derived glucose ...

In this study, tannins were extracted by two methods (soaking and Soxhlet) with three different solvents (water, methanol and aqueous methanol 50%) and the three kind plant (walnut shell, gall oak and walnut leaves), that the highest extraction efficiency (82.08%) was related to extraction with aqueous methanol by Soxhlet method from the oak galls. Although the results of soaking were nearly to the Soxhlet. One oak Gall extract was evaluated by Lowenthal method that the result was showed that reducing materials such as tannins are 26.14%. The extracted was evaluated by Folin-Ciocalteu method that suggests phenolic compounds in the extract was 15.27, (61.07± 7.12 mg compared to gallic acid). Result of evaluation of antioxidant activity of the extracted showed the high antioxidant properties of tannins compared to ascorbic acid at less than 100 ppm concentrations, but these properties comparable to ascorbic acid of the higher concentrations, so a lower dose of the extract was may be helpful.

Collagen powder hydrolysates were reacted with a solution of commercial mimosa bark tannin extract. The mixture was prepared at ambient temperature and prepared at 80°C to determine what reactions, if any, did occur between the collagen protein through its amino acids and the polyphenolic condensed tannin. The reaction products obtained were analyzed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI ToF) mass spectrometry. Reactions between the two materials did appear to occur, with the formation of a relatively small proportion of covalent and ionic linkages at ambient temperature but a considerable proportion of covalent linkages tannin-protein amino acids and the disappearance of ionic bonds. The linkages between the two materials appeared to be by amination of the phenolic -OHs of the tannin by the amino groups of the non-skeletal side chains of arginine, and by esterification by the -COOH groups of glutamic and aspartic acid of the aliphatic alcohol-OH on the C3 site of

The concept of cost is an integral element of ecological theories, including optimal defense theory, resource availability theory, and growth-differentiation balance theory. Indeed most frameworks that attempt to explain within-plant patterns of secondary metabolites, as well as account for the evolution of induced defenses, presume that defenses are costly. One way in which investigators have sought to quantify the cost of secondary metabolites is to examine growth/defense tradeoffs, which are predicted to occur wherever resources cannot be simultaneously allocated to both growth and defense. However, emerging evidence suggests that these critical assumptions may not be valid for brown algal phlorotannins, compounds that occur throughout the division Phaeophyta and have served as analogs to vascular plant tannins in numerous tests of terrestrial-derived ecological theories in the marine environment. Here we present a model of phlorotannins as metabolites with both primary and secondary roles ...

A recent issue of Daily Vitality Team, quotes Patrick Holford: Since redbush tea is naturally caffeine-free, it s untreated so every last one of its healthful polyphenols is preserved. The other thing that sets redbush apart from other teas is its low tannin content. Tannins are the polyphenols in black and green tea responsible for their astringent taste. Since redbush tea is lower in tannins, it s much smoother and milder tasting-no matter how long you steep it. ...The reason is simple: Its potent antioxidant content protects your body from free radicals. The antioxidants in redbush tea are called polyphenols. And it s the catechins in the polyphenols that support your overall health and boost your immune system. Plus, these antioxidants are also thought to lower blood fat levels, which in turn help to support normal cholesterol levels ...

Four straight rods and three spherical bacteria were isolated using roll tubes inoculated with rumen fluid from sheep and goats and enriched with tannic acid. The isolates were characterized by morphology, products of fermentation and restriction fragment length polymorphism that indicated the cocci isolates to be Streptococcus while the rods are closely related to recently isolated tannin tolerant bacteria within the Mebsiella genus. All of the isolates were able to grow in 30 gIL tannin extract of Acacia angustissima ground dry leaves except isolates EG 2.1 and EG 1 that grew in 20 g/L of tannic acid ...

Except for low phenol varieties, such as Pinot noir, most winemakers are not too concerned with red wine proteins, but perhaps they should be. A characteristic of tannins is their ability to bind with proteins. Indeed, traditionally we use that reaction, in part, as a generalized definition of tannin. Protein binding results in different tannins binding differently to proteins, or perhaps binding to different proteins.. During cold soaking, there is an increased extraction of both protein and tannin from the fruit solids into the aqueous phase. Proteins and tannins can bind together and precipitate from solution. Is it possible to selectively precipitate some phenols, while leaving behind the sensorially-desirable phenols?. It has been suggested that some enological tannins can preferentially bind to red wine proteins and precipitate (Robbins, R., Laffort Oenologie), allowing skin tannins to remain in solution. Because of the desirability of skin tannins in wine mouthfeel, and the importance of ...

Following the first two years of activities, excellent progress has been made. Ten wineries were recruited and ten wines were provided with all different winemaking processes. Laboratory activities have made significant progress, with polysaccharides and tannins extraction from wine and chemical characterization. Interactions between tannins from red wines and polysaccharides have been characterized by dynamic light scattering. The effect of pH and ethanol content on the interactions between tannin and polysaccharide has been investigated. ...

Electrospray mass spectrometry was used to characterize metal-complexing ligands derived from tannic acid, a component of natural dissolved organic matter. Complexes formed by tannin ligands with copper and other biogeochemically important metals were identified from the mass-to-charge ratios of the corresponding deprotonated molecular ions, allowing stoichiometry and metal oxidation state to be determined. Ligand ion intensities were proportional to tannic acid concentration, with detection limits on the order of 5 nM for individual compounds in 50:50 water/acetonitrile. The relative abundance of free ligand and complex ions indicated the degree of complexation under different solution conditions (metal concentration, pH, ionic strength). Using tandem mass spectrometry, the structure and principal copper binding site for one of the tannins were also determined, providing unique information with regard to metal complexation by these polyfunctional ligands. The technique can be combined with high ...

The purpose of this study was to produce an environmentally friendly foam using tannins, that did not contain any formaldehyde or blowing agents. Two experimental tannin foams were compared to two conventional foams, one containing both formaldehyde and blowing agents, and the other containing only a blowing agent. A variety of physical properties were assessed to determine if the new green formulation would be an appropriate replacement, this included thermal conductivity, pressure, expansion rate, and hardening rate. Results determined that the green formula produced a foam of similar quality to the conventional design, and in fact improved the mechanical resistance. Furthermore, their low flammability and low cost makes them a safe, economic, green option. Tannin/furanic foams without blowing agents and formaldehyde

Water-based extraction processes are presently used to produce tannin from tropical trees such as acacias. Currently tannins are mainly used for dying leather. Tannins are also suitable for glue applications, although, this use is relatively limited. However, they have huge market potential, since phenol-based glue resins have a global market of around 4 million tonnes per year and a value of EUR 10 billion. Phenolic resins are mainly used as binding agents in the production of plywood and laminates. The SusBinders project involves the optimisation of extraction processes for separating polyphenolic value components from bark. Suitability of the components for various glue applications is also analysed. Luke is focusing on optimising the extraction process and increasing the scale of production. Xamk is developing a continuous extraction process and is preparing and testing wooden panels glued with tannin-based glues. VTT is developing the purification of tannin extracts and is in charge of ...

The proximate and antinutrient analyses of six diets based on processed sweet potato- crayfish- soyabean/ bambara groundnut mixtures were determined using Nutrend as standard. Values for two sources of commercial processed soya bean flours used as protein supplements for infants and children in Nigeria were also investigated. Tannin (as tannic acid equivalent)and phytic acid contents of the ingredients and diets were also determined. Ratios of feed ingredients were formulated to provide 352-391 Kcal/kg energy, 12.03 -17.72% proteins per 100g diet, and to reach and adequate level of NdpCal% of 6.54 -8.02. The proximate analysis of the diets showed that protein value ranged between 7.88 -17.72%, carbohydrate 60.90 - 69.53%, lipid 2.02 -6.49%, ash 1.70 - 5.20%, fibre 0.61 -6.59%, and moisture 7.10 -9 .15%. The anti-nutritional factors analysis showed that percent loss in tannin content of 15. 00% and 51.22% in soya beans and bambara groundnut respectively were achieved and percent apparent loss ...

Bark samples isolated from brown coal deposits in Victoria, Australia, and buried wood from Rhizophora mangle have been studies by high-resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Dipolar dephasing 13C NMR appears to be a useful method of detecting the presence of tannins in geochemical samples including barks, buried woods, peats and leaf litter. It is shown that tannins are selectively preserved in bark during coalification to the brown coal stage. ?? 1988....

Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Tannins enter soils by plant decay and rain throughfall, but little is known of their effects on soils. Tannins may influence bioavailability and toxicity of metals by forming complexes and by mediating redox reactions. We evaluated the affinity and stoichiometry of Al(III) for a gallotannin, pentagalloyl glucose and an ellagitannin, oenothein B, using spectrophotometric titration and Jobs method. The 280 nm absorbance band of the phenolics was shifted to 330 nm upon addition of Al(III) at pH 6 or pH 4 but absorbance was much weaker at the lower pH Al(III) formed 2:1 complexes with apparent formation constants (Kf) of 1011 M-2 with both tannins at pH 6, and 1:1 complexes, Kf 105 M-1, at pH 4. The characterization of reactions between metals and well characterized tannins will lead to better understandings of the role tannins may play in plant nutrient cycling, detoxification of heavy metals, and water quality. ...

Condensed tannin (CT) of varying molecular weights (MWs) may affect rumen microbial fermentation by shifting composition of fungal community. In this study the effects of unfractionated CTs (F0) and CT fractions of different MWs (F1 , F2 , F3 , F4 , F5) from Leucaena leucocephala hybrid-Rendang (LLR) on the fungal mass and composition of fungal community were determined using molecular approaches. The results showed that the total fungi biomass decreased (p , .05) with the addition of higher-MWs CT fractions F1, F2 and F3 with values 35.3 µg/mL, 34.6 µg/mL and 39.3µg/mL, respectively, when compared to that of the control sample (without CTs) at 52.1 µg/mL.

I just got around to Catching Fire and enjoyed it. Its a captivating story, well-told: science in a conversational tone. Given my obsessive focus, I looked eagerly for what Wrangham had to say about smell. Surprisingly little it turns out. In one passage he describes how modern non-human primates prefer sweet and cooked food, just as we do, and how these preferences may be hardwired in our brain. In another, he vividly describes the taste of various fruits in the chimpanzee diet. Wrangham is my kind of scientist: a field guy who just rolls up his sleeves and tries a mouthful of Pseudospondias microcarpa fruits. Verdict: inedibly bitter due to high tannin content. Conclusion ...

The aim of this thesis was to demonstrate the potential negative effect of the tannic acid on the expression of connexin 45 in rat kidney damaged by the chronic hyperglycemia, due to a need for critical assessment of the positive effects of the use of tannic acid in the treatment of many diseases. Twelve male Wistar rats were used in the trial over a period of twenty weeks. The rats were divided into three groups of four rats. The groups were formed based on beverages consumed by the rats. At the end of this 20-week experiment it was observed that the group of rats that consumed sucrose in drinking water (30%) had a significant increase in blood glucose level compared to the control group which consumed drinking water. In the third group, where tannic acid along with the sucrose (0,1% of tannic acid; Sah/TK group) was added in a drinking water, blood glucose levels were less increased than in the group that consumed sucrose in water. Also consumption of tannic acid (0,1%) had a positive effect ...

The present study describes the radiation-induced effects on nutritional quality and on anti-nutritional factors of sorghum grain: effects of electron beam (ER) and gamma irradiation (GR) at doses of 10, 20 and 30 kGy and infrared irradiation (IR) at 60, 90 and 120 s on the chemical composition, mineral content and bioavailability, in vitro protein and starch digestibility, total phenolic compound, phytate and tannins contents of sorghum grain, were investigated. The results showed that chemical composition were unchanged (P|0.05) by the irradiations. GR, ER and IR resulted inan increase in the digestibility of starch by 3.8, 5.4 and 6.8%, respectively.In vitro protein digestibility was reduced by 23% in IR, where as GR and ER increasedcrude protein digestibility of sorghum grain by 6.6 and 5%, respectively (P|0.05). The levels of phytic acid and tannins were significantly reduced by irradiations while the total phenols were increased relative to unprocessed control samples. The results indicated no

The descriptors often used to characterize tannin types are inadequate to the task. Words such as ellagic (meaning oak or chestnut wood) or proanthocyanidins (meaning from grapes and some exotic woods) are very broad. The producer of winemaking tannins needs to understand and to quantify the potential of specific raw materials and then to apply this knowledge. Tools such as GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry), reverse phase HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) and TLC (thin layer chromatography) analysis (silica/fluorescence; cellulose) are common in this process ...

Tannins are the cause of that drying sensation in your mouth when you drink a red wine. They are a group of chemical compounds that can be found in diverse sources like fruits, tea and wood. They find their way into a wine via the stems, skin and seeds of the grape, and from the wood of barrels. They are a constant preoccupation during the grape-growing and winemaking process, because how they are dealt with has a profound effect on the style of the wine that makes it into the bottle ...

For more robust wines, pay particular attention to the type of tannin, where you experience it on your palate and how that makes you feel. Well-structured wines age more gracefully. The depth of color will hint to skin contact and extraction thus one can expect concentrated green tannins. By the nature of the grape, most red varietals have aging potential. Next, look for wood tannin to balance the structure of fruit, acidity, alcohol and sugar. For me, green tannin is evident on my inside lip, a gritty, chalky sensation. Oak tannin coats the inside of my cheek. If the astringency is uneven and overpowers the delicate nuances of fruit I feel it needs more time.. ...

The objective was to evaluate the effect of fodder tree species (FTS) with condensed tannin contents: Cordia elaeagnoides, Platymiscium lasiocarpum, Vitex mollis, and Haematoxylon brasiletto, on in vitro methane (CH4) production at 24 h post incubation. The analysis was performed using the in vitro gas production technique, with three levels of inclusion/species: 600, 800, and 1,000 mg and with 4 replicates/species/level of inclusion. The substrate was incubated at 39°C, and the gas and CH4 production were recorded at 4, 8, 12, and 24 h post incubation. The data collected was analyzed through Pearson correlation, polinomial regression and fixed effects models. There were negative correlations between FTS-total gas volume (r = −0.40; p,0.001); FTS-volume of CH4 produced (r = −0.40; p,0.001) and between the inclusion level-volume of CH4 produced (r = −0.20; p,0.001). As well as a positive correlation between hours post incubation-total gas volume (r = 0.42; p,0.001) and between hours post ...

Abstract: 8,4‴-dieckol is a natural product which has been isolated from brown alga, Ecklonia cava. This polyphenolic compound is a phlorotannin derivative with a broad range of bioactivities. Its inhibitory activity on human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) was tested and the results indicated that 8,4‴-dieckol inhibited HIV-1 induced syncytia formation, lytic effects, and viral p24 antigen production at noncytotoxic concentrations. Furthermore, it was found that 8,4‴-dieckol selectively inhibited the activity of HIV-1 reverse trancriptase (RT) enzyme with 91% inhibition ratio at the concentration of 50 μM. HIV-1 entry was also inhibited by 8,4‴-dieckol. According to data from this study, 8,4‴-dieckol is an effective compound against HIV-1 with high potential for further studies. ...

TY - CHAP. T1 - Phlorotannins and macroalgal polyphenols. T2 - potential as functional food ingredients and role in health promotion. AU - Murray, Margaret. AU - Dordevic, Aimee L.. AU - Ryan, Lisa. AU - Bonham, Maxine Penelope. PY - 2018. Y1 - 2018. N2 - Marine macroalgae are rapidly gaining recognition as a source of functional ingredients that can be used to promote health and prevent disease. There is accumulating evidence from in vitro studies, animal models, and emerging evidence in human trials that phlorotannins, a class of polyphenol that are unique to marine macroalgae, have anti-hyperglycaemic and anti-hyperlipidaemic effects. The ability of phlorotannins to mediate hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia makes them attractive candidates for the development of functional food products to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. This chapter gives an overview of the sources and structure of phlorotannins, as well as how they are identified and quantified in marine ...

A study was designed to examine the relationships between protein, condensed tannin and cell wall carbohydrate content and composition and the nutritional quality of seven tropical legumes (Desmodium ovalifolium, Flemingia macrophylla, Leucaena leucocephala, L pallida, L macrophylla, Calliandra calothyrsus and Clitoria fairchildiana). Among the legume species studied, D ovalifolium showed the lowest concentration of nitrogen, while L leucocephala showed the highest. Fibre (NDF) content was lowest in C calothyrsus, L Leucocephala and Lpallida and highest in L macrophylla, which had no measurable condensed tannins. The highest tannin concentration was found in C calothyrsus. Total non-structural polysaccharides (NSP) varied among legumes species (lowest in C calothyrsus and highest in D ovalifolium), and glucose and uronic acids were the most abundant carbohydrate constituents in all legumes. Total NSP losses were lowest in F macrophylla and highest in L leucocephala and L pallida. Gas ...

The present study involves the phytochemical evaluation and antibacterial activity from leaf and callus extracts of Eupatorium triplinerve (Asteraceae). Phytochemical screening in various extracts such as aqueous, ethanol, chloroform, acetone and petroleum ether of leaf and callus reveals the presence of tannins, saponins, phenols, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, terpenoids, alkaloids and steroids. The leaf and callus extracts were quantitatively evaluated for tannin content with tannic acid as standard. The optimum yield of tannins was found in ethanol extract of callus was 7.82 ± 0.3 mg tannic acid Equivalents (TAE) / g) followed by ethanol extract of leaf was 6.71± 0.3mg tannic acid Equivalents (TAE) / g). Different concentrations of ethanolic extracts in leaf and callus were tested for the anti-bacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using agar disc diffusion technique. The ethanolic callus extract ...

Abstract Plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae)and root voles (Microtus oeconomus)are herbivorous mammals inhabiting in the highest plateau of the world,the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau They feed on plants that contain many kinds of secondary metabolites. Our study objectives were to verify that secondary metabolites in their diets have some effects on the hormones related to their reproductive behaviors,and to explore the co-evolution between the animals and their forage for both species. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH),plasma androgen and estrogen for both species was assayed after subjects were administrated tannic acid at dosages of 0,5,10,20 mg /kg BW for 1,3,or 5 days. Tannic acid increased plasma androgen and estrogen in both of pikas and root voles. We observed no significant change of GnRH in either species. This suggests that tannic acid plays a role in sexual maturation and benefits reproductive behaviors ...

Abstract:. Bryophyllum pinnatum is a perennial herb used in traditional medicine against varieties of ailments such as memory disorder. This study quantitatively estimated the total phenolic (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC) and total proautocyanidin (TPA) contents of extract and fractions of B. pinnatum and correlated them with its antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities. Methanolic extract of the dried leaves was partitioned into n-hexane, ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions. Total phenolic, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins content were estimated as gallic acid or quercetin equivalents. DPPH and nitric oxide scavenging activity as well as ferric reducing power assays were used to evaluate antioxidant activity, using 2,6-di-tert-butyl- 4-methylphenol (DDM) and ascorbic acid as standards. In vitro anticholinesterase activity was evaluated by Ellmanns colorimetry assay with phsiostigmine (serine) and donepezil as positive control.

If youre from our neck of the woods (pun intended) in the Northeast of the US, youre likely very familiar with the gigantic white oak tree. What you may not be familiar with is the variety of uses extracted from the gray-ish white, bumpy bark. Native Americans knew all about the magical healing properties derived from these large trees and soon after, the first settlers were using it too - as an antiseptic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and even as a diuretic. Now the aforementioned uses are usually associated with an illness or wound, but you dont have to be injured to reap the benefits for your hair.. There are many nutrients contained within the white oak bark (or quercus alba bark) extract, such as B12, iron and potassium. But the most standout component is its high tannin content (somewhere between 15-20%). Tannins, a class of astringent (drying, constricting agent), are found in a variety of things you may already consume, namely wine and tea. You also may have heard of ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Phase equilibrium phenomena in solutions involving tannins, flavonoids and ionic liquids. AU - Lukasik, Rafal Bogel. PY - 2010/1/1. Y1 - 2010/1/1. N2 - This work presents a foremost systematic study on the solubility of phenolic compounds (tannic acid, quercetin and gallic acid) in ionic liquids. A series of 1-butyl-3-methylimiazolium salts of hexafluorophosphate, tetrafluoroborate, trifluoromethanesulfonate and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide derivatives were used in this research. The solid-liquid equilibrium measurements in binary systems were carried out by using a dynamic method from 273 K to 413 K. Among all tested ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate was found to be the best solvent for tannic acid. The solubility of tannic acid was lower for [bmim][PF6] and decreased for [bmim][OTf] and [bmim][NTf2]. The solubility of tannic acid in ionic liquids follows the E-T(N) polarity scale of the studied ionic liquids. Furthermore, tetrafluoroborate and ...

Ladys mantle (lat. Alchemilla vulgaris) is also known as Virak, rabbits foot, lions foot and Agile Frog. It has been used since the Middle Ages. Today it is considered as a universal natural remedy for all women treating many different diseases. According to the famous Swiss herbalist Johan Kincora, 30% of all gynecological problems can be avoided just by consuming Ladys mantle tea.. You should use the leaves and flowers or the entire flowering plant except the root, because it doesnt have any medicinal properties. The leaves are best collected in July/August. Leaves can also be collected after blooming, but then they lose some of their healing power.. Ladys mantle contains flavonoids, organic acids, tannins, salicylic acid and a real treasure of vitamin C. This plant has a bitter taste, because of its high tannin content which brings strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.. ...

ABSTRACT. Rhinosinusitis (RS), chiefly viral in origin, is increasingly widespread, and puts heavy financial burdens on society. Treatments range from home remedies and alpha-adrenergic agonistic decongestants to antibiotics, corticosteroids, and even surgery. Much discomfort, pain, individual and societal cost, could be avoided through efficient, judicious and cost-effective treatments. In absence of a specific and effective treatment for RS, saline water nasal irrigation is considered safe and beneficial. In a simple scientific approach to find a novel remedy that would target not only the symptoms but also the causes of RS, a tannin-rich hypertonic solution for nasal spray was formulated and evaluated for efficacy against traditional saline. Tannin-rich plant extracts (procyanidins or PCDs) showing anti-bacterial, influenza virus-neutralizing activity were identified in vitro, and incorporated into a hypertonic glycerol solution. A pilot randomized, single blind trial was conducted on 113 RS ...

A series of indoor experiments were conducted at Massey University and AgResearch Grasslands, Palmerston North, New Zealand, to study the effect of cottonseed condensed tannin (CT) upon the nutritional value of solvent extracted cottonseed meal (CSM) for ruminant and monogastric livestock. Ruminant nutrition experiments were conducted using samples suspended in situ in the rumen of fistulated sheep and by incubating samples with rumen fluid in vitro, to study effects upon solubility and degradability of cottonseed proteins. Monogastric nutrition experiments were done initially with laboratory rats as a model for production animals such as the pig, and then with pigs. In all cases half of the animals were supplemented with polyethylene glycol (PEG; MW 3500). PEG specifically binds and inactivates CT and can be used to deduce the effects of CT by comparing control animals (CT acting) with PEG supplemented animals (CT inactivated). 1. Experimental varieties of cottonseed and of industrial CSM were ...

Condensed tannins decreased the growth performance and impaired intestinal immune function in on-growing grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) - Volume 123 Issue 7

Exactly why the redwoods grow so tall is a mystery. Theories continue to develop but proof remains elusive. The trees can reach ages of 2,000 years and regularly reach 600 years.. Resistance to natural enemies such as insects and fire are built-in features of a coast redwood. Diseases are virtually unknown and insect damage insignificant thanks to the high tannin content of the wood. Thick bark and foliage that rests high above the ground provides protection from all but the hottest fires.. The redwoods unusual ability to regenerate also aids in their survival as a species. They do not rely solely upon sexual reproduction, as many other trees must. New sprouts may come directly from a stump or downed trees root system as a clone. Basal burls - hard, knotty growths that form from dormant seedlings on a living tree - can sprout a new tree when the main trunk is damaged by fire, cutting, or toppling.. Undoubtedly the most important environmental influence upon the coast redwood is its own biotic ...

ABSTRACT: Stabilization has a long history in beer production. In former times, beer was stabilized by long storage in wooden barrels. During this very traditional and unsystematic method wood derived tannins and beer proteins reacted, and the resulting beer showed a higher colloidal and taste stability. With industrialization of brewing, wooden barrels disappeared, and filtration became a very important step in brewing as distribution channels became more complex and beer was shipped all around the world. Production of a brilliant, clear, and stable beer is the major aim of end-filtration, aside from the removal of yeast and turbidity after fermentation. Nowadays, for these stabilization purposes, the use of silica gel and PVPP is widely spread in the brewing industry. In recent times natural tannin based stabilization aids also came into the market. For these trials a highly purified high molecular weight hydrolyzable commercial tannic acid product was used in-line before end-filtration. ...

Vanillin-HCl procedures are widely used for the assay of tannins in plants. In attempts to adapt such procedures for use with sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.] forage it was found that false positive reactions resulted, that is, red color developed in the presence of HCl with or without vanillin. Leucoanthocyanidins (monomeric proanthocyanidins) may be the constituents responsible for this red color. A chloroform-HCl procedure was developed for measuring leucoanthocyanidins in sorghum forage. The procedure avoids interference by chlorophyll or other chloroform-soluble constituents. With vanillin added to the solution, this procedure should also be useful for the assay of condensed proanthocyanidins (tannins).

TY - JOUR. T1 - Tannic Acid Mediated Suppression of PNIPAAm Microgels Thermoresponsive Behavior. AU - Ricardo, Ana Isabel Nobre Martins Aguiar de Oliveira. PY - 2011/1/1. Y1 - 2011/1/1. N2 - Tannic acid (TA) complexation with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) microgels changed their morphology and temperature responsiveness, depending on TA concentration and pH (below the TA pK(a)). Complexes prepared with a low TA content had higher low critical solution temperature than pure PNIPAAm microgels as a consequence of the hydrophilic character of TA; however, above a concentration threshold, TA physically cross-links the polymeric network, altering their morphology and suppressing the thermodynamically driven PNIPAAm coil-to-globule transition. DRIFT spectral analysis indicated that within PNIPAAm-TA complexes hydrogen bonds were established between PNIPAAm amide and TA phenolic (C=O center dot center dot center dot H-O and N-H center dot center dot center dot O-H) and ester (N-H center dot ...

The root, harvested in spring or fall, and the leaves, harvested as the plant blooms in June, are used medicinally. A decoction of the fresh root is a powerful styptic which stops bleeding of a cut and is also used as an eyewash.. The leaves are also astringent and styptic owing to their tannin content. The tea is used internally for excessive menstrual bleeding, for prolonged blood loss due to menopausal or uterine fibroids and to reduce pains associated with periods as well as diarrhea. Ladys mantle has a very rapid healing action and gargling with the herb after the loss or removal of teeth is one of the most beneficial activities the patient can indulge in. It is also very effective for mouth ulcers and sores as well as laryngitis. Any skin troubles, such as inflamed wounds or rashes, should also be bathed with a liquid made from this herb. It battles vomiting and flux and eases bruises and ruptures. After giving birth, women should drink a tea of Ladys mantle, specially if it is mixed ...

Grape-derived tannins are primarily monomers and increase in quantity from fruit set through veraison. It is thought that the primary purpose of these compounds in the plant is as a defense against bacteria, viruses, and higher herbivores. The naturally occuring flavan-3-ol compounds are catechin and epicatechin which register at between 10 and 50 mg/L in white wines and 200 mg/L in reds. Catechin and epicatechin are characterized by a single OH group at position 3 of the C ring (shown below). The formation of the compounds gallocatechin and epigallocatechin is signaled by the presence of three OH groups in the B ring. We can also have a gallic acid acylated at position 3 of the C ring to form catechin-3-o-gallate or epicatechin-3-o-gallate ...

Five cultivars of bambara groundnut were selected on which to study the effects of germination and fermentation on their proximate composition. The cultivar that had the highest protein content was chosen to prepare unfermented and fermented milk. Standard assay techniques were adopted to determine the parameters selected for use. Germination caused a decrease in the protein, carbohydrate and starch; it increased sugar content, and had varied effects on the lipids contents of the dry samples. The anti-nutritional factor-tannin concentration was decreased. Germination and fermentation had varied effects on the nutrient compositions of the milk. Compared to the control, germination had the same effect as in the seeds. Fermentation further decreased some of the nitrogenous constituents, sugar and starch content of the milk and much more drastically the tannin content. Hydrolysis and other metabolic changes freed the nutrients from their bound forms while decreasing the quantity, but increasing the ...

maceration : The red winemaking practice of allowing the grape juice/wine to remain in contact with the skins and seeds. This allows the colour and tannin which reside in the skins and seeds to be extracted into the wine. Short periods of maceration are used to produce rose wines while long periods are used when making full bodied reds.. maceration (post fermentation): The practice of leaving the skins and seeds in contact with the finished wine following the completion of fermentation. This is thought to increase the tannin level of the wine.. maceration (pre-fermentation): A practice of soaking the skins and seeds of red grapes in their juice for a period of time prior to the start of fermentation. Some winemakers believe that this method allows different tannins to be extracted giving improved texture to the wine. To avoid fermentation commencing the juice/seed/skin mixture must be kept cold. Hence this method is also called cold soaking.. madeira: A long lived fortified wine originating from ...

My suggestion is the more the tannins the wine has, more migraine attacks it triggers,†says researcher Dr. Abouch V. Krymchantowski, of the Rio Headache Center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. No one is quite sure why red wine may trigger headaches, but some studies have shown that tannins may boost production of the brain chemical, serotonin; the changes in their levels may trigger migraines in some  individuals. In this study presented at the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Headache Society in Los Angeles and reported by WebMD, he studied 40 patients suffering from  migraines that were allegedly triggered by drinking red wine. He gave them half-bottles of four different kinds of wine: Malbec, Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Merlot- all from South America. The Malbec and the Tannat are high in tannins than the others. He asked the subjects to wait at least four days after drinking one of the half-bottles before they tried another. Out of 33 that completed the study, nearly 90% had at ...

Description: This coniferous tree is 50-120 tall, forming an unbranched straight bole and a crown that is conical to oblongoid in outline. Toward the base of a mature tree, the trunk is 1 -3 across. The trunk bark is gray and rough-textured, becoming scaly with age. Both crustose lichens and algae often colonize its bark. Numerous lateral branches originate along the entire length of the bole. These lateral branches are slightly incurved and ascending. Along the length of each lateral branch, there are several drooping branchlets that divide into divergently branched twigs. The bark of these branches and branchlets is slightly rough and gray, while the twigs are pale yellow to reddish brown. Along the smaller branches, branchlets, and twigs are short needle-like leaves about -1 long. These needle-like leaves are medium to dark green, 4-angular, and slightly flattened with blunt tips; they are stiff-textured and curve slightly toward the tips of each branch or twig. Along the sides of each ...
