单词 | tannin |
释义 | tanninn. Chemistry. Any member of a group of astringent vegetable substances, the tannins, which possess the property of combining with animal hide and converting it into leather. The first member of this group isolated and so named was the tannin of gall-nuts, subsequently also called tannic adj. acid; and to this the names tannin and tannic acid are still often specifically applied. But the discovery that the astringent principles of other vegetable substances were not chemically identical with that of gall-nuts made it needful to distinguish the various tannins. The original or ‘ordinary tannin’ became distinctively gallo-tannin n., other members of the group being named caffetannin, catechutannin, kinotannin, quercitannin, etc. (cf. tannic adj.), or particularized as oak-bark tannin, alder, beech, hop, horse-chestnut, larch, rhatany tannin, according to their source.
