Determination of Hydrolyzable Tannins (Gallotannins and Ellagitannins) after Reaction with Potassium Iodate
TLDR
In the new method, hydrolyzable tannins are reacted at 85 degrees C for 20 h in methanol/sulfuric acid to quantitatively release methyl gallate, and with plant samples, relative standard deviations of less than 3% were obtained.Abstract:
A widely used method for analyzing hydrolyzable tannins afer reaction with KIO3 has been modified to include a methanolysis step followed by oxidation with KIO3. In the new method, hydrolyzable tannins (gallotannins and ellagitannins) are reacted at 85 °C for 20 h in methanol/sulfuric acid to quantitatively release methyl gallate. Dried plant samples can be methanolyzed under the same conditions to convert hydrolyzable tannins to methyl gallate. Oxidation of the methyl gallate by KIO3 at pH 5.5, 30 °C, forms a chromophore with λmax 525 nm, which is determined spectrophotometrically. The detection limit of the method is 1.5 μg of methyl gallate, and with plant samples, relative standard deviations of less than 3% were obtained.

The conversion of procyanidins and prodelphinidins to cyanidin and delphinidin
TL;DR: In this article, a standard method of analysis of proanthocyanidins based on use of an n-BuOH-HCl-FeIII mixture is given, and the ratio of absorbance maxima of the cyanidin (550 nm) produced to that near 280 nm for the original procyanidin polymer solution was ∼ 3.5.
