dc.description.abstract | Cashew apple is the seasonal, accessory fruit of Anacardium occidentale. Although kernel has a tremendous local and international market value, cashew apples get wasted in bulk due to high perishability, astringency, limited shelf life and lack of post-harvest management techniques. Availability of such naturally ripen, nutritious fruits are scarce in the market and introducing value added products from cashew apple is important to manage consumer requirements in a healthy manner. Aim of this study is to conduct phytochemical, proximate and physicochemical analyses of cashew apple in order to explore the possibility for value addition. | en_US |
