UTILIZATION OF NATURAL TANNINS FROM ANACARDIUM OCCIDENTALIS TESTA FOR PRODUCING THE INDUSTRIALLY IMPORTANT GALLIC ACID THROUGH SUBMERGED FERMENTATION
Lokeshwari Nallabilli*
ABSTRACT
Gallic acid has enormous application in many fields and is regarded as
a non toxic substance to man. Furthermore, considerable health
promoting effects have been ascribed to gallic acid. This work
demonstrated the ability of microorganism to utilize cashew testa and
crude intermediate product to produce gallic acid in a submerged
fermentation system. Under optimal time, extraction of tannins
experiment was carried out and estimation of concern byproduct was
estimated.
Keywords: Microorganism, Gallic acid, Submerged Fermentation and Tannins.
