Biochemical profile of Cashew nut

Abstract

Cashew is a kidney-shaped nut that commercially grows on a tropical evergreen tree. In recent times, the commercial importance of cashew nut and apple in terms of human health is gaining great momentum. The kernels of 75 promising cashew germplasms were taken from different soils of West Bengal, for bio-chemical quantification. Out of which 10 promising commercial germplasms were taken for experimental study. The study indicates that nutritional content Iron (0.08%), Calcium (0.96%), magnesium (0.75%), potassium (2.18%), sodium (0.22%), phosphorus (1.21%), neutral lipid (98.54%), phospholipid (3.12%), protein (49.63%), starch (33.5%), amino acid (53.37%), phenol (53.4%), total sugar (21.27%). It also contains a huge amount of lipids that promote good cardiovascular health. Often high triglyceride levels are associated with an increased risk for heart disorders and mono-unsaturated fats reduce triglyceride levels. The cashew nuts high magnesium content also takes the credit for its healthy heart quality and so daily recommended for the heart-healthy mineral. It also protects against high blood pressure, muscle spasms, migraine headaches, tension, soreness, and fatigue.
