Hulls from rapeseed and canola seed were analyzed for tannins, and the ability
of these tannins to inhibit a-amylase in vitro was determined. Extractable tannin
content ranged from 0.02 to O.22Vc. The a-amylase inhibition test showed zero
values for rapeseed and canola hulls indicating the absence of tannins capable
of inhibiting this enzyme.
