“…The protein content of 26.54% and 24.78 % observed in the nuts from the red and yellow specie of cashew respectively is related to 26.15% observed by 24 . But higher than 17.5% reported by Griffin et al, 27 and 21.8% observed by Ogungbenle et al, 24 and lower than 27.31% in 25 . The fat composition of the samples did not differ considerably, with the red variety having more fat (44.27 %) than the yellow variant (40.05%).…”

The study investigated phytochemical and nutritional composition of the two varieties of Anacardium occidentale (red and yellow varieties) apple, bark, leaves and nuts. Standard techniques were utilized to examine the samples. Phytochemicals, proximate analysis, mineral composition and vitamin content, were all determined on the samples. The obtained data from phytochemical analysis showed that in all the sixteen extracts: glycosides, flavonoids, phenol and protein were present in fifteen extracts except in acetone extract of the bark. Results of proximate analysis revealed that percentage ash contents of yellow varieties of the apple, nuts, leaves and bark had higher values of 8.54, 4.97, 3.51 and 2.51 % respectively than the red varieties. The mineral compositions of nuts, apple juice, leaves and bark from red and yellow varieties revealed highest potassium contents in the apple juice with the value of 41.28±4.31 mg. Generally, phosphorus had the highest value of 129.52±0.25 mg among the minerals studied followed by copper with a value of 61.28±0.01 mg in the nut of the red variety. The red varieties of the nut, apple, and leaves had higher vitamin C content than the yellow variety. The red varieties of the nut, apple, and leaves had higher niacin, (B3) than the yellow variety. The rich presence of these phytochemicals, minerals compositions and other nutritive values supports the use of the different parts of Anacardium occidentale in ethno-medicine and equally creates the possibility for their use in drug formulation.

The economics involved in processing cashew nuts (Anacardium occidentale) might alter micronutrient profiles and concentrations. We analyzed and evaluated carotenoids, tocopherols, tocotrienols, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids in (1) cashew kernels with testa recovered from nuts dried with and without the apple, and (2) testa‐free industrial grade baby butts, splits, and white whole kernels using HPLC, ICP‐OES, and GC‐MS techniques. The results indicated that drying cashews with the respective apple slightly decreased the concentration of some carotenoids and total fatty and amino acids, but increased the concentration of iron, magnesium, and total tocotrienols compared with the conventionally (sun‐) dried kernels. We also found high concentrations of carotenoids in the testa‐containing kernels. Among the industrially processed kernel, baby butt grade was associated with lower content of β‐carotene, total tocopherols, and tocotrienols, but with significantly higher concentrations in minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids than in white wholes and split grades. Conventional sun drying of cashew nuts revealed results similar to drying with apples regarding micronutrient concentrations. The high micronutrient content of industrial grade BB is reflected in widespread human consumption and better market value.
