Highly inhibitory concentrations of acorn and carob tannins and catechin and tannic acid exhibited a small inhibition on α-amylase excreted from C. gigantea. The kinetics of inhibition of amylolytic activity of the enzyme by the tested phenolic inhibitors indicated a noncompetitive type of inhibition. α-amylase excreted from C. gigantea exhibited a high resistance to the inhibitory action of certain toxic phenolic compounds
