Abstract
At present, coffee pulp is one of the most abundant agro-industrial wastes and pollutants generated by the coffee industry. The utilization of coffee pulp as animal feed has been investigated for several years (De Rozo et al., 1985), but its chemical composition is a great limiting factor due to the presence of anti-physiological factors such as caffeine, polyphenolic compounds and tannins (Hakil et al., 1998), which include tannic acid in high concentrations (3–4%). Tannins are water-soluble phenolic compounds with molecular weights ranging from 500 to 3000 Da. These are present in several plants acting structurally as pigments and protecting from microbial attacks (Lekha and Lonsane, 1997).
