Perspectives on Tannins

<p>Tannins are a family of versatile natural phenolic biomolecules whose key role is to protect plants against insects and fungi. They are also valuable in use for humans. We show tannins' antioxidant and antibacterial properties in addition to their potential application in the food industry. We prove the accessibility of condensed tannins to a wide range of potential applications including NH3 neutralizer the building block of numerous porous materials such as foams organic and carbon gels. Finally they are known as wood adhesives heavy metal scavengers and corrosion inhibitors. With this book we want to present the most promising perspectives of tannin.</p>
