Abstract :The width, length and thickness of the fruits and the seeds and the humidity, ash content, unsoluble ash in 10% HCl, pro-tein content, oil content and crude fiber content of the pericarb and seeds of sumach samples, collected from different locations (Çanakkale, Hakkari, Hatay, İskenderun, Kastamonu, Manisa, Kahramanmaraş, Mut, Siirt and Silifke) were determined. Dimension and weight values of Hakkari samples were higher than those of the others. While, the protein content, oil con-tent, crude fiber content, ash content and the unsoluble ash in 10% HCl of the pericarbs range between, 4.70%-8.1%, 13.77%-37.5%, 19.21%-24.40%, 0.94%-2.21% and 0.13%-1.24%, seeds were established between 8.15%-10.39%, 9.17%-18.66%, 28.83%-36.25%, 1.09%-2.01% and 0.07%-0.17%, respectively.Keywords : Sumak, Rhus coriaria L., Anacardiaceae, fiziksel özellikler, kimyasal özellikler
