Effect of storage temperatures and humidity on proximate composition, peroxide value and iodine value of raw cashew nuts

Abstract: The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of raw cashew nuts (RCN) were determined using the standard static gravimetric method at 30°C, 40°C and 50°C for relative humidity (RH) ranging from 43 to 90 %. The proximate composition analysis, peroxide value and iodine value of RCN were assessed at this equilibrium stage. The RCN kept under the humidity of 86 and 90 percentage at all studied temperatures developed mold growth within 24-48 h of time. The better storage condition assessed for raw cashew nut is 67 % of R… Show more

“…However, poor associations were observed between the above‐mentioned variables and the remaining variables assessed in the current study. Ajith et al also found a direct association between FFA and MC variables, indicating that a high MC increases lipase activity, facilitating oil degradation, and occurrence of FFA in raw cashew nuts.…”

“…Regarding iodine value (IV), it is known to be a measure of the unsaturation of oils and is expressed as the amount of absorbed iodine (Ajith et al, 2015;Belviso et al, 2017;. In addition, a high IV value is considered to be the reason why the product is more susceptible and unstable against oil oxidation.…”

“…Low iodine value meant low content of unsaturated fatty acids in lipid. The decrease of iodine value indicated that the lipid was oxidized ( Ajith et al, 2015 ). Oxidation was composed of a series of complex chemical reactions that was characterized by the removal of hydrogen adjacent to the double bond and the formation of free radicals, resulting in the decrease in the total unsaturated content of oil ( Naz et al, 2004 ).…”
