PANCIL Persimmon Tannin

Natural Deodorant Ingredient Derived from Persimmon

Persimmons have long been valued for their beneficial properties in many applications. PANCIL® is made from natural persimmon-derived ingredients, is safe for use in foods, cosmetics, and other everyday products, and effectively eliminates unpleasant odors.

Persimmon-derived tannins are condensed tannins with large molecular structures. Their numerous phenolic hydroxyl groups (-OH) chemically bind with different odor substances to eliminate odors.

Deodorizing and Antibacterial Effects of Persimmon

Persimmons and persimmon tannin have long been known for their many benefits and used throughout everyday life.

For example, persimmon-tannin paper has been placed in closets or beneath tatami mats for moisture and insect control and has also been used to preserve wood.

Persimmon-leaf sushi uses the antibacterial and deodorizing properties of persimmon. Persimmon tannin is also widely used today as a clarifying agent in sake brewing.
