“…The clarified cashew apple juice can be used to improve nutritional characteristics of mixed drinks by the supplementation of nutrients, such as vitamin C and carotenoids (ASSUNÇÃO;MERCADANTE, 2003;ABREU et al, 2009), sugars (SILVA;RABELO;RODRIGUES, 2012), flavonol glucosides (BRITO et al, 2007;MICHODJEHOUN-MESTRES et al, 2009a), anacardic acids (KUBO et al, 2006;TREVISAN et al, 2006) phenolic acids, and prodelphinidins (MICHODJEHOUN-MESTRES et al, 2009b, c). Moreover, some studies show the functional properties of the cashew apple, such as prevention of acute gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori (KUBO; LEE; KUBO, 1999) and antioxidant activity (ABREU et al, 2009;LUZIA;JORGE, 2011).…”
