Abstract

Tannase is one of the most versatile biocatalysts and plays an important role in a wide range of bioconversion reactions under protein-precipitating conditions. A comprehensive and illustrative review on the applied aspects of microbial tannases in modern biotechnological practices is presented. After a brief description of different substrates of tannases, fundamental biotechnological and catalytic aspects are reviewed and discussed to illustrate the pivotal role of tannases in the food and bioprocess industry. An emphasis on the biotechnological advances and challenges of tannase study is made.
