Traditional methods of tannin determination require the preparation of specific reagent solutions and are demanding in time and preparation. This kit is based on the methylcellulose precipitable method (MCP), improving its usability and stability.
Tannins are a group of phenolic compounds found naturally in the skin, seeds and stems of grapes used in wine, as well as in the barrels where wine is aged.
They are the compounds responsible for the sensation of astringency in wine due to their ability to precipitate salivary proteins, creating a particular tactile sensation.
Tannins influence the structure of the wine and contribute to its aging capacity.
