Abstract

The determinations of tannin in bark samples was realizated to determine the best use for the tree barks. The present investigation has quantitatively determinated the tannin in barks of Acacia mearnsii, Wild. from the roots up to the top of the trunk in its the commercial height. The time of autoclave for the best extraction was determined too.
