Subject tannins

Maturing improves the taste and aroma of beer and the elimination of tannin, protein, and hop resins also has a beneficial effect. Some metaboHc products of unpleasant taste are further converted or washed out by the carbon dioxide surplus. The time for 1 agering varies with different types of beer. For every type of beer there is an optimal 1 agering time, and longer ] agering is usually detrimental to beer quaHty. The fiHed 1 agering tanks are subjected to the saturating pressure of carbon dioxide, usually 50—70 kPa (ca 0.5—0.7 atm), controUed by a safety valve. 

In a trial on a Barbara wine subject to MOX at 1.7-2.5 mL/L/month for 45 days in 50-L tanks, the wines were found to be higher in smoothness 4-5 months after the end of the MOX process (Bosso et ah, 2000). In the trial on Cabernet Sauvignon wines subject to MOX at 5 mL/L/month for 7 months (Atanasova et ah, 2002), a polymeric fraction from a Toyopearl column was analyzed by thiolysis to determine the MDP. After 7 months, the MDP values were similar for the MOX (12.2 0.9) and control (12.6 0.3) wines, and both greater than the initial wine value of 10.1 0.4. On the other hand, it was noted that the total amount of tannins (by LC), originally 1434 50 mg/L, declined further in the MOX wines (1214 39 mg/L) compared to the control (1340 44 mg/L) after 7 months. 

To render any of the foregoing materials suitable for the present operations of the tanner, it is necessary to bring them into a minute state of division, in order that by the treatment to which they are subjected, they may the more quickly yield up their tannin. 

In essence, due to water leaching the tannins from the bark and other chemicals in the trees themselves, these water solutions must be subjected to zero discharge by 1977, according to the new guidelines by the Environmental Protection Agency. 

Heartwoods of many tropical species are rich in tannins. The basie unit in some of these structure is considered to be derived from flavan-3,4-diols and related compounds, for example melacacidin from Acacia melanoxylon (Hathway, 1962), the structure of which is shown in Figure 2.17. The stereochemistry of the flavan-diols has been the subject of much study by Roux and his collaborators (Fengel and Wegener, 1984). 

The results showed that while none of the books stored in the clean Welsh environment had deteriorated to any significant extent, nearly all the volumes subjected to London s acidic pollution exhibited evidence of decay, some within less than 10 years. In addition, the superior ageing properties of leathers prepared with hydrolysable tannins were confirmed. Of the various chemical analytical determinations undertaken, the only results to show any correlation with the degree of deterioration observed were those for the number of -terminal amino acid groups on the protein. This figure reflects the amount by which the collagen polypeptide chain had been broken and was considered to be evidence for hydrolytic deterioration. 

Decomposes when heated above melting point, 536°F/280°C, producing toxic fumes of arsenic, lead. Lead arsenates may be subject to redox reactions. Both arsenic and lead are known human carcinogens.

Incompatible with oxidizers, bases, acetic acid alkalis, alkylene oxides, ammonia, amines, bromates, carbonates, citrates, chlorides, chloral hydrate cresols, epichlorohydrin, hydrozoic acid, isocyanates, methyl isocyanoacetate, phenols, phosphates, salicylic acid sodium salicylate, sodium peroxyborate, potassium bromate resorcinol, salicylic acid, strong oxidizers, sulfates, sulfites, tannin, tartrates, tinctures trinitrobenzoic acid, urea nitrate. On small fires, use dry chemical, Halon, or CO2 extinguishers. 

The extraneous materials are a heterogeneous group of non-structural constituents most of which are organic compounds extractable in neutral solvents such as ether, acetone, ethyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol-benzene, and water. They include waxes, fats, essential oils, tannins, resin and fatty acids, terpenes, alkaloids, starch, soluble saccharides (gums), and various cytoplasmic constituents such as amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids. An excellent review on the general subject of wood extractives is that of Hillis (26). The distribution of cytoplasmic constituents in wood has also been reviewed recently (11, 46).
