Abstract
The tannins of 20 species of edible fruits are described. The majority contain condensed tannins (polymeric proanthocyanidins) whose structural units and number average molecular weight have been determined. Some fruits contain both condensed and hydrolysable, or hydrolysable tannins aloneβnotably those in the genus Rubus. The structures of tannins in the fruit and leaves are compared in several cases.
