Genetic diversity analysis in cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) germplasm using RAPD marker

Volatile compounds of cashew apple (Anacardium occidentale L.).

The volatile compounds of a largely consumed Brazilian cashew apple variety (Anacardium occidentale L. var. nanum, Anacardiaceae) were recovered by headspace extraction or simultaneous distillation-extraction. Several compounds including esters (29), terpenes (16), hydrocarbons (9), carboxylic acids (7), aldehydes (7), alcohols (3), ketones (2), lactones (2) and norisoprenoids (1) were characte...

Genetic Diversity of Nigerian Cashew Germplasm

Development, characterization and use of microsatellite markers for genetic analysis of Cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale)

Background The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is found throughout the Brazilian territory, although it is better adapted to the northeastern coast climate. This fruit crop is essential to the agroindustry of the States of Ceará, Piauí and Rio Grande do Norte, where around 95% of the production is harvested and where the whole processing of the chestnut is done. It currently represents 157...

Effects of processing on immunoreactivity of cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale L.) seed flour proteins.

Cashew nut seeds were subjected to processing including autoclaving (121 degrees C for 5, 10, 20, and 30 min), blanching (100 degrees C for 1, 4, 7, and 10 min), microwave heating (1 and 2 min each at 500 and 1000 W), dry roasting (140 degrees C for 20 and 30 min; 170 degrees C for 15 and 20 min; and 200 degrees C for 10 and 15 min), gamma-irradiation (1, 5, 10, and 25 kGy), and pH (1, 3, 5, 7,...

Elementary Chemical Profiling and Antifungal Properties of Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) Nuts

Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) has high demand in the world market due to wide range of applications. Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) has various range of biological properties. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify the phytochemicals present in the CNSL using solvent extract method. Antifungal activity of acetone, ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts on A. flavus, A. fumigatus...
