Relationship between condensed tannin structures and their ability to precipitate feed proteins in the rumen

Lorenz MM, Alkhafadji L, Stringano E, Nilsson S, Mueller-Harvey I, Udén P

Abstract

Results of this study suggest that PT and CT type are both of importance for protein precipitation but that the CT structures investigated did not allow identification of parameters that contribute most to precipitation. It is possible that the three-dimensional structures of tannins and proteins may be more important factors in tannin-protein interactions. (c) 2013 Society of Chemical Industry
