Abstract

Tannase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of ester bonds in gallotannins such as tannic acid.
In recent years, the interest on bacterial tannases has increased because of its wide applications. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) plays an important role in food tannin biotransformation, it has the ability of hydrolyse tannins in ruminants intestine. The finding of tannin hydrolysis by LAB has sparked their use as tannase producer.
