monster representative chemical structure of tannic acid a type of tannin tannin powder mixture of compounds tannins or tannoids are a class of astringent polyphenolic biomolecules that bind to and precipitate proteins and various other organic compounds including amino acids and alkaloids the term tannin is widely applied to any large polyphenolic compound containing sufficient hydroxyls and other suitable groups such as carboxyls to form strong compounds with various macromolecules the term tannin from scientific french tannin from french tan crushed oak bark tanner to tan cognate with english tanning medieval latin tannare from proto celtic tannos oak refers to the abundance of these compounds in oak bark which was used in tanning animal hides into leather citation needed the tannin compounds are widely distributed in many species of plants where they play a role in protection from predation acting as pesticides and might help in regulating plant growth 1 the astringency from the tannins is what causes the dry and puckery feeling in the mouth following the consumption of unripened fruit red wine or tea 2 likewise the destruction or modification of tannins with time plays an important role when determining harvesting times tannins have molecular weights ranging from 500 to over 3 000 3 gallic acid esters and up to 20 000 daltons proanthocyanidins structure and classes of tannins edit there are three major classes of tannins shown below are the base unit or monomer of the tannin particularly in the flavone derived tannins the base shown must be additionally heavily hydroxylated and polymerized in order to give the high molecular weight polyphenol motif that characterizes tannins typically tannin molecules require at least 12 hydroxyl groups and at least five phenyl groups to function as protein binders 4 base unit scaffold gallic acid phloroglucinol flavan 3 ol polymer class hydrolyzable tannins phlorotannins condensed tannins 5 phlobatannins c ring isomerized condensed tannins 5 sources plants brown algae plants tree heartwood oligostilbenoids oligostilbenes or polystilbenes are oligomeric forms of stilbenoids and constitute a minor class of tannins 6 pseudo tannins edit pseudo tannins are low molecular weight compounds associated with other compounds they do not change color during the goldbeater s skin test unlike hydrolysable and condensed tannins and cannot be used as tanning compounds 4 some examples of pseudo tannins and their sources are 7 pseudo tannin source s gallic acid rhubarb flavan 3 ols catechins tea acacia catechu cocoa guarana chlorogenic acid nux vomica coffee mate ipecacuanhic acid carapichea ipecacuanha history edit ellagic acid gallic acid and pyrogallic acid were first discovered by chemist henri braconnot in 1831 8 20 julius löwe was the first person to synthesize ellagic acid by heating gallic acid with arsenic acid or silver oxide 8 20 9 maximilian nierenstein studied natural phenols and tannins 10 found in different plant species working with arthur george perkin he prepared ellagic acid from algarobilla and certain other fruits in 1905 11 he suggested its formation from galloyl glycine by penicillium in 1915 12 tannase is an enzyme that nierenstein used to produce m digallic acid from gallotannins 13 he proved the presence of catechin in cocoa beans in 1931 14 he showed in 1945 that luteic acid a molecule present in the myrobalanitannin a tannin found in the fruit of terminalia chebula is an intermediary compound in the synthesis of ellagic acid 15 at these times molecule formulas were determined through combustion analysis the discovery in 1943 by martin and synge of paper chromatography provided for the first time the means of surveying the phenolic constituents of plants and for their separation and identification there was an explosion of activity in this field after 1945 including prominent work by edgar charles bate smith and tony swain at cambridge university 16 in 1966 edwin haslam proposed a first comprehensive definition of plant polyphenols based on the earlier proposals of bate smith swain and theodore white which includes specific structural characteristics common to all phenolics having a tanning property it is referred to as the white bate smith swain haslam wbssh definition 17 self published source occurrence edit tannins are distributed in species throughout the plant kingdom they are commonly found in both gymnosperms and angiosperms mole 1993 studied the distribution of tannin in 180 families of dicotyledons and 44 families of monocotyledons cronquist most families of dicot contain tannin free species tested by their ability to precipitate proteins the best known families of which all species tested contain tannin are aceraceae actinidiaceae anacardiaceae bixaceae burseraceae combretaceae dipterocarpaceae ericaceae grossulariaceae myricaceae for dicot and najadaceae and typhaceae in monocot to the family of the oak fagaceae 73 of the species tested contain tannin for those of acacias mimosaceae only 39 of the species tested contain tannin among solanaceae rate drops to 6 and 4 for the asteraceae some families like the boraginaceae cucurbitaceae papaveraceae contain no tannin rich species 18 the most abundant polyphenols are the condensed tannins found in virtually all families of plants and comprising up to 50 of the dry weight of leaves 19 20 cellular localization edit in all vascular plants studied tannins are manufactured by a chloroplast derived organelle the tannosome 21 tannins are located mainly in the vacuoles of plants 21 tannins are classified as ergastic substances non protoplasm materials found in cells tannins by definition precipitate proteins scientific citation needed in this condition they must be stored in organelles able to withstand the protein precipitation process idioblasts are isolated plant cells which differ from neighboring tissues and contain non living substances they have various functions such as storage of reserves excretory materials pigments minerals and tannins scientific citation needed in japanese persimmon diospyros kaki fruits tannin is accumulated in the vacuole of tannin cells which are idioblasts of parenchyma cells in the flesh 22 presence in soils edit see also soil ph the convergent evolution of tannin rich plant communities has occurred on nutrient poor acidic soils throughout the world tannins were once believed to function as anti herbivore defenses but more and more ecologists now recognize them as important controllers of decomposition and nitrogen cycling processes as concern grows about global warming there is great interest to better understand the role of polyphenols as regulators of carbon cycling in particular in northern boreal forests 23 leaf litter and other decaying parts of kauri agathis australis a tree species found in new zealand decompose much more slowly than those of most other species besides its acidity the plant also bears substances such as waxes and phenols most notably tannins that are harmful to microorganisms 24 presence in water and wood edit the leaching of highly water soluble tannins from decaying vegetation and leaves along a stream may produce what is known as a blackwater river water flowing out of bogs has a characteristic brown color from dissolved peat tannins the presence of tannins or humic acid in well water can make it smell bad or taste bitter but this does not make it unsafe to drink 25 tannins leaching from an unprepared driftwood decoration in an aquarium can cause ph lowering and coloring of the water to a tea like tinge a way to avoid this is to boil the wood in water several times discarding the water each time using peat as an aquarium substrate can have the same effect many hours of boiling the driftwood may need to be followed by many weeks or months of constant soaking and many water changes before the water will stay clear raising the water s ph level for example by adding baking soda will accelerate the process of leaching 26 tannins in water can lead to feather staining on wild and domestic waterfowl which frequent the water mute swans which are typically white in colour can often be observed with reddish brown staining as a result of coming into contact with dissolved tannins though dissolved iron compounds also play a role 27 softwoods while in general much lower in tannins than hardwoods 28 are usually not recommended for use in an aquarium 29 so using a hardwood with a very light color indicating a low tannin content can be an easy way to avoid tannins tannic acid is brown in color so in general white woods have a low tannin content woods with a lot of yellow red or brown coloration to them like cedar redwood red oak etc tend to contain a lot of tannin 30 tannin rich fresh water draining into cox bight from freney lagoon southwest conservation area tasmania australia bog wood similar to but not driftwood in an aquarium turning the water a tea like brown a mute swan with reddish brown staining on the top of its head caused by exposure to dissolved tannins and iron compounds in water upper tahquamenon falls panoramic view the tannin rich oparara river in the west coast region of new zealand extraction edit there is no single protocol for extracting tannins from all plant material the procedures used for tannins are widely variable 31 it may be that acetone in the extraction solvent increases the total yield by inhibiting interactions between tannins and proteins during extraction 31 or even by breaking hydrogen bonds between tannin protein complexes 32 tests for tannins edit there are three groups of methods for the analysis of tannins precipitation of proteins or alkaloids reaction with phenolic rings and depolymerization 33 alkaloid precipitation edit alkaloids such as caffeine cinchonine quinine or strychnine precipitates polyphenols and tannins this property can be used in a quantitation method 34 goldbeater s skin test edit when goldbeater s skin or ox skin is dipped in hcl rinsed in water soaked in the tannin solution for 5 minutes washed in water and then treated with 1 feso 4 solution it gives a blue black color if tannin was present 35 ferric chloride test edit the following describes the use of ferric chloride fecl 3 tests for phenolics in general powdered plant leaves of the test plant 1 0 g are weighed into a beaker and 10 ml of distilled water are added the mixture is boiled for five minutes two drops of 5 fecl 3 are then added production of a greenish precipitate is an indication of the presence of tannins citation needed alternatively a portion of the water extract is diluted with distilled water in a ratio of 1 4 and few drops of 10 ferric chloride solution is added a blue or green color indicates the presence of tannins evans 1989 36 other methods edit the hide powder method is used in tannin analysis for leather tannin and the stiasny method for wood adhesives 37 38 statistical analysis reveals that there is no significant relationship between the results from the hide powder and the stiasny methods 39 40 hide powder method 400 mg of sample tannins are dissolved in 100 ml of distilled water 3 g of slightly chromated hide powder previously dried in vacuum for 24 hours over cacl 2 are added and the mixture stirred for 1 hour at ambient temperature the suspension is filtered without vacuum through a sintered glass filter the weight gain of the hide powder expressed as a percentage of the weight of the starting material is equated to the percentage of tannin in the sample citation needed stiasny s method 100 mg of sample tannins are dissolved in 10 ml distilled water 1 ml of 10 m hcl and 2 ml of 37 formaldehyde are added and the mixture heated under reflux for 30 minutes the reaction mixture is filtered while hot through a sintered glass filter the precipitate is washed with hot water 5 10 ml and dried over cacl 2 the yield of tannin is expressed as a percentage of the weight of the starting material citation needed reaction with phenolic rings edit the bark tannins of commiphora angolensis have been revealed by the usual color and precipitation reactions and by quantitative determination by the methods of löwenthal procter and of deijs 41 formalin hydrochloric acid method 42 colorimetric methods have existed such as the neubauer löwenthal method which uses potassium permanganate as an oxidizing agent and indigo sulfate as an indicator originally proposed by löwenthal in 1877 43 the difficulty is that the establishing of a titer for tannin is not always convenient since it is extremely difficult to obtain the pure tannin neubauer proposed to remove this difficulty by establishing the titer not with regard to the tannin but with regard to crystallised oxalic acid whereby he found that 83 g oxalic acid correspond to 41 20 g tannin löwenthal s method has been criticized for instance the amount of indigo used is not sufficient to retard noticeably the oxidation of the non tannins substances the results obtained by this method are therefore only comparative 44 45 a modified method proposed in 1903 for the quantification of tannins in wine feldmann s method is making use of calcium hypochlorite instead of potassium permanganate and indigo sulfate 46 food items with tannins edit pomegranates edit main article pomegranate ellagitannin accessory fruits edit strawberries an accessory fruit contain both hydroly...
