Tannins, which can be extracted from certain tree barks, are polyphenolic compounds, that gain a lot of interest in industry, as they can be utilized to replace petroleum-based chemicals. Currently, they are used in the leather industry, as flocculants or as adhesives. To further increase their potential, an increase in purity is necessary. To do so, various methods are available, in this study we present a 2-step approach consisting of (i) depolymerization and cleavage of glycosidic bonds and (ii) separation of phenolic-rich and phenolic-poor fractions. Commercially available mimosa tannin is treated with various concentrations of hydrochloric and sulfuric acid (0.4 M and 0.8 M) and separated with chromatographic resin. Resulting fractions are characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy for phenolic content and antioxidant activity, infrared spectroscopy, NMR, HPLC-DAD and GPC to determine their composition and molecular size as well as their reactivity towards formaldehyde. It was observed that mild acidic cleavage with 0.4 M HCl results in more phenol-rich material (TPC 1124 µgGAE mg−1) while 0.8 M sulfuric acid leads to tannin fractions with higher antioxidative properties. Amberlite resin yields fractions with higher reactivity towards formaldehyde (gel time below 60 s compared to over 90 originally) while the Sephadex fractions present the highest values for total phenolic content. |
