Project at a Glance Contents on the CD ROM
  • Tannic acid (also known as gallotannic acid, gallotannin, digallic acid or glycerite) is a plant polyphenol which is contained in roots, husks, galls and leaves of plants.
  • Tannins are non-crystallizable, amorphous compounds. They are soluble in water, ethyl alcohol, glycerol, acetone and in dilute alkalies. Their aqueous solution shows an acidic reaction and a sharp astringent taste.
  • Tannic acid is not a single constituent but a type of hydrolyzable tannin that contains several units of gallic or ellagic acids esterified with the glucosyl OH to produce complex tannin compounds. Its exact composition varies according to its source.
  • Tannic acid has strong astringent properties. It is used as an antidote in cases of alkaloidal poisoning as it precipitates alkaloids as tannate salts. It finds its uses in tanning, dyeing industries and for ink manufacture.
  • Tannin is an ideal candidate for commercial extraction since it finds a ready market in leather industry and ayurvedic medical prescriptions.
  • Terminalia arjuna is one of the major tannin yielding trees with tannin content of 22-24 percent in bark, 10-11 percent in leaf and 7-20 percent in fruit.
    Tannic acid is a specific commercial form of tannin, a type of polyphenol. Its weak acidity (pKa around 10) is due to these phenol groups in the structure.
  • Commercial tannic acid is usually extracted from any of the following plant part: Tara pods (Caesalpinia spinosa), gallnuts from Rhus semialata or Quercus infectoria or Sicilian Sumac leaves (Rhus coriaria).
  • Tannic acid (TAN-ik AS-id) is a pale yellow amorphous powder, shiny scales, or spongy material that gradually darkens when exposed to air. It is odorless but has a strong, bitter taste.
  • Tannins are a basic ingredient in the chemical staining of wood, and are already present in woods like oak, walnut, and mahogany.
  • Tannin occurs naturally in tea, coffee, oak, sumac bark and myrobalan.
  • Tannic acid can be applied to woods low in tannin so chemical stains that require tannin content will react.
  • The presence of tannins in the bark of redwood (Sequoia) is a strong natural defense against wildfire, decomposition and infestation by certain insects such as termites. It is found in the seeds, bark, cones, and heartwood.
  • Tannic acid is a common mordant used in the dyeing process for cellulose fibers such as cotton, often combined with alum and/or iron.
  • Tannic acid is used in the conservation of ferrous (iron based) metal objects to passivate and inhibit corrosion.
  • Tannic acid reacts with the corrosion products to form a more stable compound, thus preventing further corrosion from taking place. After treatment the tannic acid residue is generally left on the object so that if moisture reaches the surface the tannic acid will be dehydrated and prevent or slow any corrosion.
  • Use of tannic acid in food applications is far more widespread and significant amounts are used as process aids in beer clarification, aroma compound in soft drinks and juices.
  • Today tannic acid is still used in pharmaceutical applications to produce albumine tannate which is used as an anti-diarrhea agent.
  • Tannic acid is also used to produce tannate salts of certain anti-histamins and anti-tussives to impart increased stability or slow release properties to the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient).
  • In manufacturing, tannic acid is used in ointments and suppositories for the treatment of hemorrhoids; for tanning hides and manufacturing ink; and to kill dust mites on furniture.
  • Tannic acids help eliminate diarrhea, reduce swelling of hemorrhoids, loosen catarrh in the respiratory system, and control various kinds of internal bleeding. Externally, tannins are beneficial in rubs for aching muscles and joints, in salves for open, slow-healing sores, and as antiseptics.
  • Plants high in tannic acid have been used to treat cancers, but tannic acid itself has been found to be carcinogenic under certain conditions.
  • Several Studies have shown tannic acid has antiviral, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties. In many cases it acts directly on the organism to inactivate it.
  • Tannins have also been implicated in hyaluronidase system. That is, they destroy hyaluronidase in much the same manner as does echinacea, thereby defending the cells of the body against viral invasion.
  • Tannic acid-HCl, the prime reagent for the oxidized tannin-azo
    method, is brownish yellow in color. This solution gave a deep brown
    precipitate on treatment with an equal volume of periodic acid.
  • Tannic acid is most effectively bound at acid pH; this suggests that positively charged amino groups in the tissue proteins are the loci responsible for attachment of tannin. This view was substantiated by the observations on sections pretreated with formaldehyde.
