“…Cashew apple contains water (83.6 g 100 g -1 ) and nutritional substances such as vitamin C (126 mg 100 g -1 to 372 mg 100 g -1 ), which is 6 to 7 times higher than in citrus fruits, dietary fiber (312 mg), carbohydrates (11.1 g), and calcium (0.9 mg 100 g -1 to 21.4 mg 100 g -1 ) (Damasceno et al, 2008;Bhakyaraj and Singaravad, 2012); cashew apple should be able to serve as a good source of energy (Cristina et al, 2012;Honorato et al, 2007). Rich in bioactive compounds of polyphenols (gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, cryptoxanthin, zeinoxanthin, and lutein 214.8 mg 100 mL -1 to 215.1 mg 100 mL -1 ) and organic acids (malic, citric, and lactic acids 0.1 g 100 g -1 to 0.36 g 100 g -1 (Sucupira et al, 2020), tannins 0.22 g 100 g -1 to 0.58 g 100 g -1 (Sobhana and Mathew, 2015), carotene 0.03 mg 100 g -1 to 0.74 mg 100 g -1 (Lopes et al, 2012), anacardic acid 1.1 g (Nambelaa et al, 2022), the fruit is therefore packed with antioxidants (Andayanie et al, 2019;Laddha et al, 2020). Specifically, chemically active components of ascorbic acid, anacardic acid, carotenoids, condensed tannins, quercetin, and other phenolic compounds are essential in anti-mutagenic mechanism (Onuh et al, 2017;Setyobudi et al 2019) with an ability to stimulate DNA repair or reverse DNA damage.…”
