Tannins were determined by various chemical and biological methods in 15 agro-industrial by-products. Tannins in terms of total phenols (TP), condensed tannins (CT) and protein-precipitation capacity (PPC) were very high in Acacia nilotica and Theobroma cacao pods, Mangifera indica seed kernel, Pani...
