10.9734/ACSJ/2014/7405Abstract
The proximate, minerals, anti nutrients, functional properties and amino acid of cashew kernel were studied. The results showed that the raw sample had high crude fat (48.1±0.5%), while the defatted sample had high crude protein (31.5±0.1%) and high crude fibre (4.21±0.01%). The samples contained nutritionally valuable minerals and essential amino acid for body development. The samples also contained low levels of anti-nutrients: tannin (0.71-1.00%) and oxalate (4.63-5.75mg/g) which would not retard the functionalities of the food properties.
