The lands in their present condition, provided that water could be secured, are estimated to carry safely five hundred cattle per Paraguayan league, and if this province could be developed in this way the total value represented would be immense. Fencing is an easy matter, as posts are abundant and almost always near at hand. The Indians make capital cow-boys and expert fencers. The wood industry at present consists chiefly in the export of tanning from the quebracho tree, but the exploitation of these forests depends entirely upon the means of conveyance.

  • Intake of Water Containing Condensed Tannin by Cattle and Sheep Scott L
    Rangeland Ecol Manage 61:354–358 | May 2008 Research Note Intake of Water Containing Condensed Tannin by Cattle and Sheep Scott L. Kronberg Author is Animal Scientist, US Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service, Northern Great Plains Research Laboratory, Mandan, ND 58554, USA. Abstract Ingestion of small amounts of condensed tannin (CT) by ruminants can prevent bloat, improve nitrogen retention, and reduce excretion of urea, a precursor of ammonia and the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. Because grasses and many forbs don’t contain CT, it is desirable to find a reliable way to have ruminant livestock ingest small amounts of CT when they consume high-quality forage. Putting CT in their drinking water may be a reliable approach, but only if all animals drink enough to meet their requirements for water. Therefore, objectives of this study were to determine the amount of variation in intake of water containing different amounts of CT when this was the only water available, and if cattle and sheep would drink water with CT in it if offered tap water simultaneously. Animals were penned or pastured individually, fed twice daily (first cattle and sheep trial) or grazed (second cattle trial) and had ad libitum access to tannin water, tap water, or both. Liquid intake was measured daily. Steers drank tannin solutions (mean daily intake 49.7–58.3 kg), but variation in intake among steers was higher than for tap water (SD were 44%–58% greater for the two most concentrated tannin solutions). At the highest concentration of tannin, steers ingested 2.3% of their daily feed intake in CT.

  • Modified Tannin Extracted from Black Wattle Tree As Environmental-Friendly Antifouling Pigment

Ferreira,1 1LAPOL/PPGE3M, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Av. Bento Gonçalves 9500, 91501-970, Porto Alegre, Brazil 2 Departament d’Enginyeria Química, ETSEIB, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Av. Diagonal 647, 08028 Barcelona, Spain 3 Centre for Research in Nano-Engineering, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Campus Sud, Edifici C’, C/Pasqual i Vila s/n, Barcelona E-08028, Spain. Abstract The use of modified black wattle tannin as antifouling pigment is reported in this work. Mixture of tannin adsorbed in activated carbon (soluble fraction of tannin) and low soluble fraction of tannin was used as antifouling pigment. The soluble rosin resin was used as paint matrix. 13C NMR analysis confirm the modification of black wattle tannin through the cleavage of tannin interflavonoid bonds. FTIR spectra indicates the presence of tannin in the formulated antifouling coating even after 7 months of its exposure in marine environment. Water contact angle analysis shows the hydrophilic characteristic of tannin antifouling coating surface. Immersion tests at Badalona port in Mediterranean Sea shows the high antifouling efficiency of TAN coating, comparable to the commercial paint, until 7 months. The use of a natural black wattle tannin, without its complexation with metals, can eliminate the release of metals and other toxic biocides to the marine environment. Keywords:

  • STRUCTURE and THERMAL BEHAVIOR of TANNINS from Acacia Dealbata BARK and THEIR REACTIVITY TOWARD FORMALDEHYDE JUSTO LISPERGUER1,2*, YANINA SARAVIA2, EMILIO VERGARA3
    J. Chil. Chem. Soc., 61, Nº 4 (2016) STRUCTURE AND THERMAL BEHAVIOR OF TANNINS FROM Acacia dealbata BARK AND THEIR REACTIVITY TOWARD FORMALDEHYDE JUSTO LISPERGUER1,2*, YANINA SARAVIA2, EMILIO VERGARA3 1Facultad de Ciencias, Departamento de Química, Universidad del Bio-Bio, Av Collao 1202 Concepción, Chile 2Centro de Investigación de Polímeros Avanzados, CIPA. Conicyt-Regional R08C1002. Av. Collao 12, Concepción, Chile. 3Centro de Investigación en Tecnologías de la Construcción, Universidad del Bio-Bio. Av. Collao 1202, Concepción, Chile. ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the tannin extraction potential taken from the bark of Acacia dealbata. This tannins were extracted with water at 90°C. An extraction yield of 17.2% solids with a Stiasny number of 82% was obtained from the bark extract of Acacia dealbata. The structure was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The thermal behavior of tannins was studied by DSC and a glass- transition temperature (Tg) of 116,77°C was determined. The thermal stability of tannins was studied by TGA. At 196.91°C the decomposition is 3.7% and the maximum of the weight loss rate (DTG) of the degradation was 257.77°C. The curing with formaldehyde showed an exotherm reaction in the range of 100-120°C, which is similar to tannins of other species. Keywords: Tannins, Acacia dealbata bark, Structure of tannins, Thermal behavior. INTRODUCTION Phenol-formaldehyde based wood adhesives still today dominant in European markets. However, the necessity to diminish petrochemicals The potential of tannins, particularly those extracted from bark, has consumption stimulate the search of alternative environmentally safe long been recognized to substitute more expensive petrochemical-derived adhesives.

  • What Plants Did You See This Weekend Or Read About That Humans Use for Fiber?
    Fiber What plants did you see this weekend or read about that humans use for fiber? What part of the plant is used? What is a plant fiber? Composed of cellulose--glucose molecules attached in a specific way Similar to starch, but unlike starch it can only be broken into sugar with specific enzyme cellulase, which only a few organisms make (bacteria, gut flora) Animal fiber made of protein – denatures at high temperatures – Plant fiber – not a problem – How does this affect the way you do laundry? Seed & fruit fibers: surface fibers such as seed hairs Bast or soft fibers: bunches of phloem found in stems Leaf or hard fibers: composed of xylem and phloem from leaf Use of fiber affected by length and structure, elasticity Common process to extract fiber from plant Retting – decomposition of soft plant parts by bacteria used for many soft fibers (usually stems) Decortication – unwanted tissues scraped way used for hard fibers (usually leaves) Ginning – Surface fibers separated mechanically from plant material Seed & fruit fibers Cotton (Gossypium sp.; Malvaceae) Kapok (Ceiba pentandra; Malvaceae) Function of fibers on seeds? Seed & fruit fibers Cotton (Gossypium sp.; Malvaceae) Kapok (Ceiba pentandra; Malvaceae) Function of fibers on seeds? – Facilitate wind dispersal Seed & fruit fibers Cotton (Gossypium sp.; Malvaceae) Kapok (Ceiba pentandra; Malvaceae) Function of fibers on seeds? – Facilitate wind dispersal Coconut (Cocos nucifera; Arecaceae) Function of fibers on fruit? – Protect seed, facilitate water dispersal, buoyancy Most seed fibers
