Grape tannin is a versatile ingredient used across various industries—from food and wine to cosmetics, textiles, and animal health—thanks to its astringent, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties.
Grape tannins are used in the food industry as natural preservatives in some foods and beverages, especially in wine, where they help stabilize the product and protect it from oxidation. In addition, in wine they are responsible for the characteristic bitter and astringent taste and help improve the structure and longevity of the product. Thanks to their antioxidant properties, grape tannins can be used in foods to prevent spoilage, protecting nutrients and improving the shelf life of the product.
Grape tannin can be used in the cosmetic industry, especially in tonics and lotions, thanks to its ability to tighten pores and improve the appearance of the skin.
In textiles, grape skin tannins are used for natural dyeing, thanks to their ability to bind to fibers and impart a rich, dark color.
Grape tannin powder or liquid is also suitable for use in dietary supplements for both humans and animals, supporting digestive and cardiovascular health due to its natural antioxidant and antimicrobial effects.
