Key Properties | ✔️ Active on gallotannins and catechin esters |
Key Benefits | ✅ Reduces bitterness and astringency in tea and fruit products |
Main Applications | 🍵 Tea Processing (Black, Green, Fermented Teas) |
Enzyme with ≥300 U/g activity that hydrolyzes ester bonds in tannins, reducing bitterness and haze in food, beverage, and fermentation systems.
Tannase, also known as tannin acyl hydrolase, is an enzyme that breaks the ester bond between catechol and gallic acid in tannins. It is obtained by microbial fermentation and is used in tea processing, fruit juice clarification, beer stabilization, wine deastringency, and herbal extract refinement. Chibio’s Tannase offers ≥300 U/g activity, with stable performance at pH 4.0–6.0 and up to 70–80°C.
