Tannase is a biocatalyst for tannin biodegradation. It is extensively used in food, beverage, food additives as well as in environmental pollution treatment. In the present study, tannin degrading fungi was isolated from air and further assessed for the production of tannin degrading enzymes. It was found that tannases are produced efficiently by Aspergillus sp. At neutral pH and 30C temperature. Tannase hydrolyzes esters and lateral bonds of tannins such as tannic acid releasing glucose and gallic acid whose production is done by solid state fermentation (SSF). A treatment formulation for teeth whitening containing tannase enzymes like whitening agents, toothpastes, powders, teeth gel and mouthwashes was made. Tannase was added in laundry detergent for coffee and tea stain removal.
