Possible opportunities for tannin blend application have been seen in the Wine and Cosmetic
industry. In wine the demand for low cost controlled wine production is leading to an increase
of oak replacement products while in Cosmetics, there is rapid growth in emerging markets
for high antioxidant cosmetics, including skincare products containing tannin blends. This 9
month study will provide an outline investment and business case for taking the PJH tannin
blends forward.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
