“…The genetic enhancement of the quality and attributes of the cashew apple is still under development in Brazil, although the knowledge of genetic diversity for the construction of germplasm banks exists. Most cashew breeding programs are based on traditional selection approaches, including the size and weight of nuts or yield of a cashew tree, and efforts have also been applied in the prospection of dwarf genotypes with enhanced fruit quality and resistance to pests and diseases [11]. Therefore, the identification of the characteristics with economic interest, related to conserved or cultivated accessions, may be appropriated by breeding programs aimed at launching high-performance cultivars to meet specific demands, such as cultivars with high levels of bioactive compounds.…”

The objective of the present work was to develop an advanced fast phenotyping tool to explore the cashew apple compositions from different genotypes, based on a portable near-infrared (MicroNIR) spectroscopy. This will be in addition to associating the variability of the respective cashew apple pulps with the genotypes by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The NIR analysis is a non-destructive, low-cost procedure that provides prompt results, while considering the morphology of different cashew apples (shape, size, and color). The UPLC-HRMS analysis is characterized by specific bioactive compounds, such as the derivatives of hydroxybutanoic acid, galloyl, and flavonoids. Furthermore, both techniques allowed the identification of a group of accessions, which presented similarities among the chemical profiling. However, to improve the understanding of cashew chemical and physical variability, further variables related to the cashew apple composition, such as edaphoclimatic conditions, should be considered for future studies. These approaches lead to the conclusion that these two tools are useful for the maintenance of BAG-Caju (Cashew Germplasm Bank) and for the cashew-breeding program.

“…Cashew apple phenotyping for genetic breeding programmes based on genome wide selection (GWS), in general, uses the same quality traits investigated in this work: soluble solid content (SSC), total acidity (TA), the ratio of SSC/TA and ascorbic acid (AA). [1][2][3] These variables are relevant for the selection of new clones of cashew apple with higher nutritional quality, attractive sensorial characteristics (appearance and taste) and extended shelf life.…”

The prediction of cashew apple quality by non-destructive analysis using a portable (100 g), near infrared spectrophotometer has been investigated. The quality parameters of interest were: soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), SSC/TA ratio and ascorbic acid (AA). Partial least squares calibration models were developed using the spectral range from 950 nm to 1600 nm available with the portable spectrophotometer, with a spectral resolution of 10 nm. The model was validated using an independent set of samples. Validation results gave root mean square error of prediction values of 0.6%, 0.04%, 2.7 and 27 mg 100 mL -1 for SSC, TA, SSC/TA and AA, respectively.According to the results, this highly portable spectrometer can be used to monitor and control cashew apple postharvest quality, and may constitute an important tool for genome wide selection in cashew breeding programmes.
