Nutritional composition of raw fresh cashew kernels from different origin

Cashew trees are widely spread over tropical areas close to the equator; therefore, the nutritional composition of cashew nuts vary by origin as claimed by this research study.

The aim of this research study was to determine the nutrient composition of raw fresh cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) kernels and its variability by origin, including cashews from the major world producing areas such as Brazil, India, Vietnam, and East and West Africa.

The Role of Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) Nuts on an Experimental Model of Painful Degenerative Joint Disease
Research

Cashew nuts administration reduced pain-like behavior and showed antioxidant activities, restoring biochemical serum parameters: glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) levels, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and lipid peroxidation. Results demonstrated that the oral assumption of cashew nuts counteracts the inflammatory and oxidative process involved in osteoarthritis.

The Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Anacardium occidentale L. Cashew Nuts in a Mouse Model of Colitis
Research

In an experimental model of colitis, cashew nuts were able to alleviate the clinical signs, histological damage, neutrophil infiltration, oxidative stress, the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, TNF-α, as well as to reduce iNOS, ICAM-1, and P-selectin expressions likely through the inhibition of ROS induced-NF-kB activation and increased antioxidant capacity. Thus, the administration of cashew nuts could have beneficial action for the treatment of IBD.

Pectins from cashew apple fruit (Anacardium occidentale): Extraction and chemical characterisation
Research

The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is a tropical evergreen tree largely cultivated in Brazil, which produces the cashew apple, a peduncle rich in carbohydrates and considered an industrial waste of the nut production. Until now, there were no data available about the chemical structure of cell wall polysaccharides found in cashew apple. In this work, its pectic polysaccharides have been characterized through monosaccharide composition, HPSEC, methylation and 13C and 1H/13C HSQC-DEPT-NMR analyses.
