Most studies reporting inhibitory effects against microorganisms at high doses and stimulatory and positive health effects at low concentrations. Furthermore, previous studies showed that acacia tannin extracts induce changes in cell membrane and internal structures resulting in membrane rupture and organelle destruction of microorganisms.Vegetable tannin can inhibit different types of microorganisms and their distribution in the soil. Studies in forest soils demonstrate that additions of high concentrations of phenolic tannins compounds may affect the microbial population of the soil. In addition, soil organisms such as nematodes, annelids and arthropods may also be affected by the toxic effects of plant-based tannins.

Oxalates also affect in vivo calcium and magnesium metabolism by complexing with these metals and reducing their bioavailability and utilization. Excessive intakes of oxalic acid can cause diarrhoea, gastroenteritis and renal damage. Oxalates also react with proteins to form complexes which have an inhibitory effect on peptic digestion in animals

Although phosphorus is present in phytic acid, it has a low bio-availability because phytate can form complexes with a variety of minerals, including calcium, copper, cobalt, ion, magnesium, manganese, selenium and zinc, thus reducing the availability of these nutrients in animals. Phytic acid can also form complexes with basic residues of proteins thereby interfering with the activity of endogenous enzymes and associated metabolic pathways.

The anti-nutritional composition of the carob products was analyzed in terms of trypsin inhibitory factor, which measure protease inhibitors. Noted that, the trypsin inhibitory factor was lower in the pulp. The in vitro protein digestibility was also higher in the pulp. The seeds display the highest amount of the sum of anti-nutritional factors (proteins inhibitor and phytic acid).
