Natural astringency in foodstuffs — A molecular interpretation

Haslam, Edwin, Lilley, Terence Henry, Butler, Larry G.·1988·Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition

Abstract

The structures of plant polyphenols (vegetable tannins) are briefly reviewed. Their interactions with proteins, polysaccharides, and the alkaloid caffeine are discussed at the molecular level, and these fundamental properties are related to the quality of astringency that polyphenols possess. The various ways in which astringency may be modified and ultimately lost are outlined in relation to the aging of red wines, the formation of nonbiological hazes in beers and lagers, and the ripening of fruit.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
