Abstract

In the last years, tannase has been the subject of a lot of studies due to its commercial importance and complexity as catalytic molecule. Tannases are capable of hydrolyzing complex tannins, which represent the main chemical group of natural anti-microbials occurring in the plants. The general outline of this work includes information of the substrates, the enzyme, and the applications. This review considers in its introduction the concepts and history of tannase and explores scientific and technological aspects. The “advances” trace the route from the general, molecular, catalytic, and functional information obtained under close to optimal conditions for microbial production through purification, description of the enzyme properties, and the commercial applications to the “perspectives” including expression studies, regulation, and potential uses; aspects related to the progress in our understanding of tannin biodegradation are also included.
