For this purpose, firstly pomegranate peels were extracted in Koch extractor at 70 degrees C for 8 hours. In order to determine the tanning ability, 30% of ground pomegranate peel powder (containing 7.2% of active tannin matter) was used in the tanning process and pomegranate peel tanned leather was evaluated in terms of increases in thickness and shrinkage temperature, color change and mechanical properties. The application of pomegranate peel tannin in the tanning process provided that an acceptable shrinkage temperature (68.5 degrees C) and mechanical properties for vegetable tanned leathers.
