TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the state of critical aspects related to the tannase, emphasizing aspects such as sources, substrates, metabolic regulation mechanisms, physicochemical properties, inhibitors, production, applications and potential uses.
Abstract: Tannase catalyses the hydrolysis of gallic acid esters and hydrolysable tannins. This enzyme is produced by plants and microorganisms and it is industrially used as catalysts in the manufacture of gallic acid. Also, it is potentially used in beverage and food processing. Two critical factors, production costs and insufficient knowledge of the basic characteristics, physicochemical properties, catalytic characteristics, regulation mechanisms and potential uses, limit the use of tannase at the industrial level. This work reviews the state of critical aspects related to the tannase, emphasizing aspects such as sources, substrates, metabolic regulation mechanisms, physicochemical properties, inhibitors, production, applications and potential uses.
TL;DR: Lactobacilli with tannase activity were isolated from human feces and fermented foods and confirmed that this enzymatic activity is a phenotypic property common to these three species.
Abstract: Lactobacilli with tannase activity were isolated from human feces and fermented foods. A PCR-based taxonomic assay revealed that the isolates belong to Lactobacillus plantarum, L. paraplantarum, and L. pentosus. Additional studies on a range of Lactobacillus species from established culture collections confirmed that this enzymatic activity is a phenotypic property common to these three species.
