Haemonchus contortus constitutes a severe problem for ruminant's production, it is the most frequent nematode parasite both in template and tropical regions, induces economical losses, and shows increasing resistance to currently available anthelmintics. Tannins are secondary metabolites that naturally fulfill defense functions in plants, representing a non-conventional, natural alternative in the treatment of gastrointestinal parasites in sheep. The objective of this work was to explore the in vitro anthelmintic activity of hydrolysable tannins on adult stage of Haemonchus contortus. Adults nematodes were obtained directly from the abomasum of ovines, and a dose response curve was performed with tannins extract at 0, 2, 4, 8, 25 and 50 mg/mL, and a time response curve at 0.5, 1, 2 and 24 h at 37 °C. Hydrolysable tannins decreased motility and induced mortality of H. contortus. We observed cuticle disruption around the mouth and reproductive organs, as well as evisceration. After 24 h of exposition, 8 mg/mL induced 83% of mortality and with 25 mg/kg 100% of mortality was achieved. The LD was 3.54 mg/mL, while LD was 10 mg/mL. We propose hydrolysable tannins as an alternative to contribute in the nematode control in ruminants.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a widely cultivated fruit historically recognized for its health benefits and is regarded as a nutritional powerhouse. Pomegranate has a unique composition of bioactive compounds including hydrolysable tannins, anthocyanins, and other polyphenolic components. Of those, punicalagin and its subsequent metabolites are the most extensively studied, demonstrating antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-nociceptive activity.

Many foods contain additives like sodium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate to ensure safety, preserve quality, or extend shelf life. Recent studies suggest these additives may influence interactions between astringent compounds and oral cells. Using a tongue epithelium cell model, we investigated how these salts affect interactions between astringent compounds (phenolic and non-phenolic) and oral constituents.

The hydrolysis of legume proteins improves their nutritional and functional properties. Usually done by mixing flour with an enzyme solution, the process can be simplified using vacuum enzyme impregnation during soaking. This study used vacuum impregnation with papain or bromelain to obtain hydrolysed broad bean flours.

Different solvents water, ethanol and ethanol/water (6:4 /), were compared in the extraction of pomegranate peels and seeds (PPS) in terms of recovery yields, antioxidant properties, and antimicrobial action against typical spoilage bacterial and fungal species. The best performing extract (ethanol/water (6:4 /) was shown to contain mostly ellagic acid and punicalagin as phenolic compounds (5% overall) and hydrolysable tannins (16% as ellagic acid equivalents) and was able to inhibit the growth of the acidophilic at a concentration as low as 1%. The preservation of the organoleptic profile of -inoculated apple juice with extract at 1% over 20 days was also observed thanks to the complete inhibition of bacterial growth, while the extract at 0.
