“While eating #FattyFoods, the #polyphenols will cling to #lipids in the food instead, reducing the harshness of the #tannins. This is why creamy cheeses often pair well with drier wines.”: buff.ly/uBn8bIP

“ #astringency is a tactile, mechanical sensation caused by tannins interacting with proteins in your #saliva. These #proteins ..normally act as natural #lubricants. But #tannins bind to PRPs, stripping away the slick coating.”: buff.ly/i1Md8PM via @DiscoverMag
“ #Tannins are responsible for more than just a strange dry sensation in the #mouth. They can help prevent chronic #diseases ..used in #photography & #leatherwork & are.. responsible for the..color-changing leaves in the Fall.”: buff.ly/i1Md8PM

“Tannin" is from the art of tanning leather, with its roots in Celtic for oak - tannos & Latin verb tannare - to tan from the art of using oak bark to convert hides into leather. The chemicals for this were named tannins by the French scholar Armand Seguin in 1796 and are in cider #tannins #cider
Kingston black apples growing in Beau Vista orchard Wairarapa NZ The Kingston Black apple originates from the West Country England in the early to mid-19th century and likely named after the village of Kingston near Taunton. Somerset. The apple was first grown in orchards around the parish of Kingston St Mary whose inhabitants referred to it simply as the "black apple”
Royal Gala apples from an ENZA box . The Royal Gala apple (NZ’s most successful export apple) was created in NZ in 1934, by orchardist James Hutton Kidd from a cross between the Golden Delicious and Kidd's Orange Red apple varieties.
All domestic apple trees are the same species Malus domestica Borkh But cider apples sure don’t taste the same as eating apples - they're often too bitter or sharp to enjoy raw, that's because of tannins which makes them perfect for delicious, full-bodied cider when fermented #cider #tannins

Organoleptic ripeness is when grapes reach optimal taste, aroma, texture, and color. Winemakers assess tannins, fruitiness, acidity, and balance to decide the perfect harvest time for top wine quality.

Persimmons contain tannins that can cause an unusual "dry mouth" or puckering sensation when the fruit is unripe. As persimmons ripen, those same tannins break down, transforming the fruit from mouth- puckeringly astringent to sweet and juicy. #science #sciencefacts #persimmons #tannins

Various fishtanks in varying degrees of tannins, commonly called black or dark water aquariums. Usually soft water (Low mineral), and acidic due to dead foliage. Commonly can be found in Asia or in any other jungle setting. Many labyrinth fish can live in these types of tanks/environments. Such as gouramis, Snake heads, Bettas, Dwarf and normal Cichlids. As well as many tetra species.
