The nutritive value of pistachio epicarp (PE) was evaluated by in situ and in vitro techniques. Chemical analysis indicated that PE was high in crude protein (11.30%) and low in neutral detergent fiber (26.20%). Total phenols, total tannins, condensed tannins and hydrolysable tannins contents in PE were 8.29%, 4.48%, 0.49% and 3.79%, respectively. Ruminal dry matter and crude ...

The effects of increasing light and of a heterologous bHLH transcription factor on the accumulation of condensed tannins (CT) were investigated in leaves of Lotus corniculatus, a model legume species which accumulates these secondary metabolites in leaves as well as reproductive tissues. Light and expression of the transgene increased the level of CT in a synergistic way. To monitor how the cha...

Plants produce many bioactive compounds that are called secondary metabolites, and have a wide variation in chemical diversity, distribution and function [1]. Phytochemistry of plants has revealed the pharmacological effect and their uses in industries [2-4]. Secondary metabolites have long been known as a source of effective medical therapies such as anti-bacterial and anti-cancer as reported ...

Novel valorization routes for tannins were opened by the development of a simple, straightforward, robust, and flexible approach to selective functionalization condensed hydrolyzable tannins. Irrespective different degrees polymerization, commercial efficiently functionalized generation an ether linkage bound short linker carrying desired functional group. Functionalizations could be realized a...
