“…Comparable oil yields were realized from the hydrodistillation of leaves (0.11% to 0.32%) and branches (0.31% to 0.42%). Similar to the work of Brunke et al [15], Kurucu et al [16] found α-pinene, limonene, octanal, β-humulene, α-terpineol, (E)-undec-2-enal, and carvacrol as major compounds in the fruit oils. In contrast, (E)-hept-2-enal, (E)-dec-2-enal, β-humulene alcohol, heptacosane, palmitic acid, and nonacosane were not observed.…”

Sumac is the common name for a genus (Rhus) with >250 individual species of flowering plants in the family Anacardiaceae. These plants are globally distributed in temperate and tropical regions and can grow on marginal lands, making them strong candidates for renewable bioproduct sources. Despite the extensive historical use of some members of Rhus spp. for tannins and other commercial phenolics, little is known about the non-phenolic components of extracts and essentials oils. The current review highlights opportunities available to extend these limited prior studies to other sumac species, and for obtaining value-added compounds to complement already established phenolic extractions in these commercial plant species. To date, a number of individual aldehydes, fatty acids, long chain alcohols, terpenes and terpenoids, and waxes of commercial or bioactive potential in essential oils and non-polar extractables from selected members of the Rhus genera have been identified. Additional studies are needed to broaden the phytochemical database from other sumac species, and to better quantify the potential yields of these valuable compounds from the plants under natural and agriculturally managed conditions.

“…Sumac is found in hot, temperate, and tropical regions worldwide (Kurucu et al, 1993). It has a long history of use by indigenous people for medicinal and other applications (Rayne and Mazza, 2007).…”

Abstract. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of sumac and dried whey powder on growth performance, carcass traits, intestinal morphology, microbial population, and some biochemical parameters and antibody titer against Newcastle disease of female broiler chicks. A total of 360 1-day-old female broiler chicks with an average weight of 38 ± 0.42 g were randomly divided into three treatments. Each treatment was further divided into six replicates. Three treatments were used: chicks were fed by basal diet as control group, basal diet + 0.02 % sumac powder (S), and basal diet + 0.02 % dried whey powder (DW) for 42 days. Results showed that feed intake of chicks increased significantly in S and DW in comparison with the control group (P < 0.05). Body weight gain was also significantly higher in the treated groups. The serum concentration triglyceride and cholesterol of chicks decreased significantly by S and DW feeding. While low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level decreased significantly, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels increased in the S group. Antibody level increased titer against Newcastle disease significantly by feeding treated diet compared to the control group. Data from microbial population investigation showed that E. coli population decreased while Lactobacillus increased in S and DW groups. The data revealed an improvement in the body weight gain, feed conversion ratio because of increased intestinal morphology, antibody level, and some useful microbial population in female broiler chicks receiving the sumac and dried whey powder.

“…Surveys of essential oil compositions of Turkish R. coriaria plants using GC and GC-MS analysis have been performed [15,16]. A large number of compounds were tentatively identified in both studies (although details of structural confirmation by authentic standards are lacking, similar to the other two survey reports discussed below), of which the major components are summarized in Table 1.…”
