0 (one of) a group of chemicals that are found in plant cells, especially in leaves, bark (= a tree's outer covering), and fruit that is not yet ready to eat --
This is a very expensive operation as different variables need to be measured (including, for example, starch, amylose, minerals, proteins, sugars, tannins).
Condensed tannins exist as water-soluble oligomers and as insoluble polymers10.
In addition to the likely impact of condensed tannins on nitrogen metabolism, tannins may also affect the mineral supply of the animal35,36.
Results are given in mg of phenolics and tannins per g dry weight for each species.
Determination of extractable and bound condensed tannin concentrations in forage plants, protein-concentrate meals and cereal-grains.
Furthermore, it was observed that ensiling reduced tannin concentrations of sorghum38.
Such variability in activity has previously been reported for tanniferous plants or condensed tannins both from in vitro and in vivo studies.
Preferences for foods varying in macronutrients and tannins by lambs supplemented with polyethylene glycol.
