HYDROLYZABLE TANNINS
Hamamelis, Nutgall Tannic acid - Galls: Aleppo in Asiatic Turkey
- contains gallic acid/polyhydric compounds esterified
- Excrescence gall: puncture of hymenopterous
w/ glucose Its derivatives Acetyl-tannic acid insect (Cynips tinctoria) and deposited ovum
- Esters (readily hydrolyzed) => phenolic acids and
- contains tannic acid
sugar
- gallotannic acid/tannin
- split by acids, bases, and hydrolytic enzymes =>
Vegetable Tanning - tanning and dyeing industry
sugar or polyols and a phenolic acid
- animal hides => leather - manuf. of ink
NON HYDROLYZABLE (CONDENSED) TANNINS - provides toughness and acts as a preservative - Astringent properties
- 1 phenolic nuclei but linked to carbohydrates & (antiseptic qualities)
- Tannins: antidote for alkaloid poisoning; tx for burns LIPIDS
proteins
- naturally occurring organic compounds
- results from condensing 2 or more flavan-3-ols Iron salts Ink manufacture - soluble in nonpolar organic solvents
(Catechin), or flavan-3,4-diols (Leucocyanidin)
- insoluble in water
- Treated with hydrolytic agents, tannins will Gelatin, Proteins, and
Lab reagents - comprised of fixed oils, fats, and waxes
polymerize Alkaloid detection - provide energy reserves (triacylglycerols)
- Phlobaphenes (insoluble red-colored products)
- Lipid and its derivatives: vitamins & hormones
