“…As for the width of the apples, it varied between 24.953 ± 2.311cm and 54.153 ± 1.335 cm. Our results are similar to previous studies ( Semporé et al., 2021a ). The different values of the dimensions allowed to observe various shapes.…”

“…This should allow producers to make substantial savings and return on their investment in production ( Havik et al., 2018 ). These findings corroborate the previous ones on experimental cashew accessions ( Semporé et al., 2021a ). The almond yields of our accessions are higher than those ( Ndiaye et al., 2020 ) which found average yields between a, 23.57% and 28.34% in a study conducted in Senegal.…”

“…This would be dependent on the area of cultivation as the three groups reflect the three regions of collection. Semporé et al. (2021a) revealed four groups based on agro-morphological characters alone in a study of 53 accessions.…”

“…The measurement of dimensions are parameters that that indicate the volume of the fruits of the various localities and they allow to make varietal selections according to the characteristics of sought-after forms. The selection of fruit plants such as cashew is generally based on agro-morphological characteristics, productivity and nut-eating quality (Semporéet al, 2021a). It appears that apples weighed more than the nuts to which they are coupled (Table 4).…”

“…Cashew apples contain anthocyanin contents of about 21.16 mg.100 g -1 ( de Lopes et al., 2012 ) and 20.79 mg.100 g -1 of vitamin A ( Assunção and Mercadante, 2003 ). Some studies have focused on their agro-morphology characteristics of nuts ( Semporé et al., 2021a ). However, very little data exists on the agro-morphological traits of apples.…”

Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) is a cross-pollinating plant whose fruit consists of two parts, the nut, and the apple. This study aimed to carry out agro-morphological characteristics of cashew fruits to establish relationships with their physicochemical and nutritional properties. Thirty (30) cashew accessions fruits were sampled in different regions of Burkina Faso. The length, width, thickness, weight, yield, kernel output ratio (KOR), proximate composition, specific minerals, phenolic compounds, and anti-nutritional factors were assessed. Evaluations were made using standard methods. The results showed significant variations in agro-morphological, physicochemical and nutritional traits depending on the accessions and the organ. Also, the ratio of apple mass versus nut one was about 12.24 ± 1.24. Kernels are an important source of proteins, fat, total phenolic compounds, and flavonoids, with average contents of 22.84 ± 1.25 g/100 g, 51.65 ± 2.54 g/100 g, 9.78 ± 2.15 mg GAE/g, and 6.24 ± 12.15 mg QE/g, respectively. As for the apples, they contained substantial quantities of Potassium, Phosphorus, Chlorine, and Magnesium with contents of 611.24 ± 14.5 mg/100 g, 418.24 ± 16.47 mg/100 g, 332.24 ± 10.54 mg/100 g, and 224.95 ± 13.15 mg/100 g, respectively. Statistical analyses showed that mineral and phytate contents were positively correlated to cashew apples while phenolic compounds and tannins were strongly correlated with walnuts. Principal component analyses showed three groups of accessions based on apples and kernels characteristics. These data showed a direct relationship between cashew physicochemical, nutritional potentials, kernels, and apples’ agro-morphological characteristics. These data constitute an important basis for the identification of cashew accessions with high nutritional and economic potential.

Cashew kernels (Anacardium occidentale L.) have enormous nutritional and health potential. However, its consumption, mainly in roasted or fried form, is low compared with other agricultural products. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of heat treatments on the physicochemical and nutritional parameters of cashew kernels from three localities in Burkina Faso. Sample collections were carried out randomly from markets in Banfora, Bobo-Dioulasso and Gaoua. Physicochemical and nutritional analyses were carried out using standard methods and statistical analyses by using XLstat 2016 software. The results showed that almonds from Gaoua had the highest nutritional potential, with an average energy value of 554.93 kcal/100g. As for the effect of the treatments on the almonds, water, protein and fat contents decreased during heat treatment, with reduction rates ranging from 64.37% to 74.46% for water content, from 29.09% to 46.50% for protein content and from 1.69% to 13.99% for fat content. Carbohydrate content, on the other hand, increased from 12.25% to 33.76%. Overall, this study showed that the heat treatments applied to cashew kernels resulted in a slight decrease in water, protein and fat content. However, an increase in carbohydrate content was obtained. This increase in carbohydrate content is an excellent discovery for the use of this resource in the dietary balance much appreciated by local populations.
