“…Some studies focused on the physico-chemical characteristics of cashew apple (Assuncao and Mercadante, 2003;Lavinas et al, 2006;Brito et al, 2007;Silva et al, 2008;Michodjehoun-Mestres et al, 2009a;Adou et al, 2011aAdou et al, ,b, 2012 and also on the effects of postharvest process on the physico-chemical quality attributes of cashew (Souza et al,1999(Souza et al, , 2009Falade et al, 2003;Figueiredo et al, 2007;Marques et al, 2007;Martins, et al, 2008;Lima et al, 2010); the effects of processing methods, such as clarification by membrane and enzymatic methods or the use of clarifying agents on the nutritional quality of cashew apple juice have also been investigated. Furthermore, the effect of thermal treatment and high hydrostatic pressure on cashew apple juice have been reported by various workers (Campos et al, 2002;Couri et al, 2003;Jayalekshmy and John, 2004;Abreu et al, 2005;Cianci et al, 2005;Castro et al, 2007;Damasceno et al, 2008;Zepka and Mercadante, 2009;Sampaio et al, 2011;Gyedu-Akoto, 2011;Talasila et al, 2011).…”
