Mimosa tenuiflora is a very good source of fuel wood and works very well for making posts, [19] most likely because of its high tannin content (16% [20]), which protects it from rot. Due to its high tannin content, the bark of the tree is widely used as a natural dye and in leather production. It is used to make bridges, buildings, fences ...
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 ...

Ephedra viridis, known by the common names green Mormon tea, Brigham tea, green ephedra, and Indian tea, is a species of Ephedra.It is indigenous to the Western United States, where it is a member of varied scrub, woodland, desert, and open habitats.
The phenolic content in tea refers to the phenols and polyphenols, natural plant compounds which are found in tea. These chemical compounds affect the flavor and mouthfeel of tea. Polyphenols in tea include catechins , theaflavins , tannins , and flavonoids .
The tannin content of the unknown is then expressed as equivalents of the appropriate hydrolyzable or condensed tannin. [23] Some methods for quantification of total polyphenol content in vitro are based on colorimetric measurements. Some tests are relatively specific to polyphenols (for instance the Porter's assay).
The high concentration of tannins in the bark of tanoak enabled tanneries to produce heavy leathers, which were used to make items such as saddles, bridles, and luggage, which were in high demand. [4] By 1907, the use of tanoak for tannin was subsiding due to the scarcity of large tanoak trees.
Tara tannin derivatives are being proposed as antifouling against marine organisms that can grow on ship hulls. [11] Those tannins are of the hydrolysable type. Gallic acid is the main constituent of tara tannins (53%) and can be easily isolated by alkaline hydrolysis of the plant extract. [12] Quinic acid is also a constituent of the tara ...
