Representative chemical structure of a tannic acid, a type of tannin Tannin powder (mixture of compounds) A bottle of tannic acid solution in water. Tannins (or tannoids) are a class of astringent, polyphenolic biomolecules that bind to and precipitate proteins and various other organic compounds including amino acids and alkaloids.
Quercitannic acid is one of the two forms of tannic acid [4] found in oak bark and leaves. [5] The other form is called gallotannic acid and is found in oak galls.. The quercitannic acid molecule is also present in quercitron, a yellow dye obtained from the bark of the Eastern black oak (Quercus velutina), a forest tree indigenous in North America.
The fruit and flower of a Persian lime (Citrus × latifolia) Makrut lime fruit. A lime is a citrus fruit, which is typically round, green in color, 3–6 centimetres (1.2–2.4 in) in diameter, and contains acidic juice vesicles. [1]
Gallic acid (also known as 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid) is a trihydroxybenzoic acid with the formula C 6 H 2 3 CO 2 H. It is classified as a phenolic acid. It is found in gallnuts, sumac, witch hazel, tea leaves, oak bark, and other plants. [1] It is a white solid, although samples are typically brown owing to partial oxidation.

A common symptom of calcium deficiency in leaves is the curling of the leaf towards the veins or center of the leaf. Many times this can also have a blackened appearance. [40] The tips of the leaves may appear burned and cracking may occur in some calcium deficient crops if they experience a sudden increase in humidity. [18]
They are organic chemicals and have a foamy quality when agitated in water and a high molecular weight. They are present in a wide range of plant species throughout the bark , leaves , stems, roots and flowers but particularly in soapwort (genus Saponaria ), a flowering plant, the soapbark tree ( Quillaja saponaria ), common corn-cockle ...
However, some exogenously synthesized auxins, especially 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), are also commonly applied to stimulate root growth when taking cuttings of plants or for different agricultural purposes such as the prevention of fruit drop in orchards.
