Auteurs : TESTONI A.

Résumé

In the last few years, interest in persimmon cultivation has increased in the Mediterranean area, both for the favourable trend of the market and for the case adaptability to the Mediterranean climate. Moreover, the compounds having nutraceutical effects have increased the interest of consumers for this fruit. The main neutraceutical compounds are carotenoids, tannins and fibre, active in the prevention of chronic degenerative diseases, and they have antiradical and antibacterial activity. The trend and concentration of soluble tannins in the astringent and non-astringent fruits are illustrated; astringent removal methods in tannin types are shown and discussed.
