The chemical characteristics of twelve varieties and hybrids of sunflower (Helianthus annuus, L.) grown in the Experimental Station of SPACE, at Iguatu, CE, Brazil, were determined. Results indicated that for the material under consideration, protein values ranged from 16,34% - 22,60%; oil content from 35,6% to 44,30%; ash from 2,94 - 4,46%; crude fiber from 14,23% to 19,98 and moisture from 6,64% to 7,58%. It was also observed that in the lipid fraction the major fatty acids were: oleic, linoleic, palmitic and stearic.
