Polymers are currently in the limelight. Phenolic resin is one of polymer products obtained from polymerization process, either natural or synthetic sources. One compounds that can be applied to polymers cardanol. This study aimed synthesize cardanol-based acetaldehyde novolac Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL). Isolation cardanol CNSL was done by liquid-liquid extraction method with acetone and pu...

Currently, growing activities in the construction sector have resulted a rapid depletion of natural resources for building material production. On other hand, agricultural industries generate huge amount residues/by-products every year around world creating environmental concerns since most these residues are burnt or disposed to landfill. However, several current studies presented potential ap...

This study examines the effects of Cashew nut shell methanol extract (CNSME) on hematology, antioxidant parameters and histopathology in lungs liver rats. Forty-five male Wistar rats were used for study, being divided into nine groups - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H I (five per group). The orally intubated with corn oil (Control), 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 400 mg/kg CNSME, respectively, every o...

In Africa, the number of undernourished people is increasing at an alarming rate. However, fruits play important role in humans, especially as a source vitamins and minerals. Senegal, there research on nut, but no attention given to cashew apple. The present study contributes evaluation physicochemical biochemical properties apple juice from eco-geographical area Casamance, southern Senegal. pl...
