Japanese scientists have found that the tannins in this fruit, along with saliva, can prevent an insidious infection from contracting.
This discovery is reported in the Mainichi Shimbun edition. During the experiment, experts combined persimmon tannins with human saliva.
For researchers, this experience has shown that such a peculiar combination can counteract COVID-19. In saliva samples containing persimmon components, the infectious capacity of the new type of virus decreased to 0,0001.
Now scientists from Japan are faced with the task of finding out whether the substances of the fruit can be as effective either in laboratory conditions, but also in the oral cavity of people.
