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 ...
The drying process is faster because Calliandra calothyrsus has already a lower moisture content (9-12%) than other tree species (13.5%). [5] The wood can already be used after 6 days. [2] Its calorific value is around 4720 kcal/kg. [5] The yield is long-term high: Calliandra calothyrsus can be harvested during 10 to 20 years. [5]
Catechu (/ ˈ k æ t ɪ ʃ uː / or / ˈ k æ t ɪ tʃ uː /) [1] is an extract of acacia trees used variously as a food additive, astringent, tannin, and dye.

Tannins are then released into the vacuole and stored inside as tannin accretions. They are responsible for synthesizing and producing condensed tannins and polyphenols . Tannosomes condense tannins in chlorophyllous organs, providing defenses against herbivores and pathogens, and protection against UV radiation.
Astringency, the dry, puckering or numbing mouthfeel caused by the tannins [1] [2] in unripe fruits, lets the fruit mature by deterring eating. Tannins, being a kind of polyphenol , bind salivary proteins and make them precipitate and aggregate , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] producing a rough, "sandpapery", or dry sensation in the mouth.
