Hydrogenated cardanol and cardols, contained in industrial grade cardanol oil and obtained by distillation of the raw "cashew nut shell liquid" (CNSL), are easily transformed into efficient 4-thiaflavane antioxidants bearing a long alkyl chain on A ring and a catechol group on B ring.

PROCESSING OF CASHEW NUT (Anacardium occidentale L.) AND CASHEW NUT SHELL LIQUID WITH SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER

In this work, our objective was to examine methods for processing cashew nut shell liquid and cashew shell with carbon dioxide and water. Supercritical CO2 was applied for extraction of split cashew shells and near-critical water was applied for reaction of the cashew shell material. In the extractions, it was found that a pressurization-depressurization step that was approximately 1 h gave ext...

Cashew-Nut (Anacardium Accidentale Linn) Shell Oil as an Anthelmintic in Human Helminthiasis—A Preliminary

A Study on the Anthelmintic Action of the Cashew-Nut Shell Oil

one or only a few more species of parasites. Moreover, some of the effec ive remedies such as oil of chenopodium, carbon tetrachloride etc have only limited use owing to various contraindications. Thus an ideal anthelmintic with a broad sphere of action, safe and non-toxic, well-tolerated and preferably cheap is yet to be found out. The oil extracted from the shell of cashewnut (Anacardium occi...
