(sumac) is an important crop widely used in the Mediterranean basin as a food spice, and Received 25 March 2014 also in folk medicine, due to its health-promoting properties. Phytochemicals present in plant foods are in Received in revised form 29 May 2014 part responsible for these consequent health benefits. Nevertheless, detailed information on these Accepted 3 June 2014 bioactive compounds is still scarce. Therefore, the present work was aimed at investigating the Available online 12 June 2014 phytochemical components of sumac fruit epicarp using HPLC–DAD–ESI-MS/MS in two different ionisation modes. The proposed method provided tentative identification of 211 phenolic and other Keywords: phyto-constituents, most of which have not been described so far in R. coriaria fruits. More than 180 Palestinian sumac phytochemicals (tannins, (iso)flavonoids, terpenoids, etc.) are reported herein in sumac fruits for the first Anacardiaceae Hydrolysable tannins time.
