Abstract

Shelled, roasted and salted cashew nuts (Anacardium occidentale) were characterized by their proximate composition. Lipid fraction obtained by cold extraction was analyzed for acid value, peroxide value, fatty acid composition, and triglyceride composition. Peroxide and acid values were low. Cashew nut oil showed high unsaturated fatty acid content (82.1%). Triglyceride compounds contained mainly two or three molecules of oleic acid (C18:1) in the structure.
