Strong Adhesives from Corn Protein and Tannic Acid

Microfluidic extraction of tannic acid from Quercus leaves

In this study, extraction of tannic acid using microchannel was investigated. Affective parameters were optimized. Different solvents including buthanol, ethylacetate and n-hexane as organic phase, methanol, propanol, ethanol and water as aqueous phase investigated. Microchannels with different confluence angles and diameters were examined. Microchannels with different confluence angles and dia...

Strong underwater adhesives made by self-assembling multi-protein nanofibres.

Many natural underwater adhesives harness hierarchically assembled amyloid nanostructures to achieve strong and robust interfacial adhesion under dynamic and turbulent environments. Despite recent advances, our understanding of the molecular design, self-assembly and structure-function relationships of these natural amyloid fibres remains limited. Thus, designing biomimetic amyloid-based adhesi...

The hepatocarcinogenicity of tannic acid.

In the group of chemical hepatocarcinogenic agents, the number of which has steadily increased in recent years (:$7), tannic acid deserves attention. Owing to its astringent effect, this compound was formerly used widely in therapy. The local treatment of thermal burns with tannic acid was suggested by Davidson (1935), and his procedure was generally employed in Hungary during World War II. I t...

Tannic acid degradation by Klebsiella strains isolated from goat feces.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Tannins are toxic polyphenols that either bind and precipitate or condense proteins. The high tannin content of some plants is the preliminary limitation of using them as a ruminant feed. So, the aim of this study was the isolation and characterization of tannic acid degrading bacterial strains from goat feces before and after feeding on Pistachio-Soft Hulls as tannin ...
