Effect of processing on the content of condensed tannins in rapeseed meals
1989
Shahidi, F. | Naczk, M.
The condensed tannins of rapeseed meals produced by a two-phase solvent extraction system were determined and compared with those of hexane-extracted meals. Ground seeds were extracted with absolute methanol, 95% methanol, 10% (w/w) ammonia in methanol or 10% (w/w) ammonia in 95% methanol and hexane as a second phase. Tannins were extracted with 70% (v/v) aqueous acetone and assayed by the 0.5% vanillin methodology. Methanol alone extracted only 16% of the tannins; addition of 5% (v/v) water to methanol increased the efficiency of tannin extraction to 36%. The methanol-ammonia-water/hexane, however, was the most effective solvent system for the removal of tannins. The resultant meals contained from 4% to 33% of the condensed tannins which were originally present in rapeseed meals.
