novel method for isolation of major phenolic constituents from cashew (anacardium occidentale l.) nut shell liquid.commercially available cashew (anacardium occidentale l.) nut shell liquid (cnsl) mainly contains the phenolic constituents anacardic acid, cardol, and cardanol. these phenolic constituents are themselves heterogeneous, and each of them contains saturated, monoene, diene, and trienes in the fifteen-carbon side chain. this communication describes the separation of anacardic acid, cardol, and cardanol for industrial application. anacardic acid was selectively isolated as calcium anacardate. the ac ...200111368634
formation of liposomes by resorcinolic lipids, single-chain phenolic amphiphiles from anacardium occidentale l.resorcinolic lipids isolated from anacardium occidentale nut oil extract (cnsl), unsaturated congeners of those isolated from bacterial and graminaceous sources, form at alkaline conditions liposomal structures alone as well as in the mixtures with cholesterol, fatty acids or phosphatidylethanolamine. those vesicular structures show relatively high entrapment of the marker and stability of their size. the retention of the captured solute depends upon the type of resorcinolic lipid and on the tem ...200111427196
functional properties of raw and heat processed cashew nut (anacardium occidentale, l.) kernel protein isolates.the functional properties viz. solubility, water and oil absorption, emulsifying and foaming capacities of the protein isolates prepared from raw and heat processed cashew nut kernels were evaluated. protein solubility vs. ph profile showed the isoelectric point at ph 5 for both isolates. the isolate prepared from raw cashew nuts showed superior solubility at and above isoelectric point ph. the water and oil absorption capacities of the proteins were slightly improved by heat treatment of cashew ...200111534465

cashew-tree (anacardium occidentale l.) exudate gum: a novel bioligand tool.the potential of bioaffinity as a tool for the study of biological-recognition mechanisms is gaining increasing value. the search continues for alternative products that can be obtained from renewable sources, such as the bark exudate gum from the cashew tree (anacardium occidentale l.), which grows wild in many tropical and subtropical countries. its potential use as a chromatographic matrix and/or for bioaffinity ligand for proteins (lectins) has been investigated. the crude gum was cross-link ...200211834129
the triatomines of northern peru, with emphasis on the ecology and infection by trypanosomes of rhodnius ecuadoriensis (triatominae).information on the distribution and synanthropic behaviour of triatomines is essential for chagas disease vector control. this work summarises such information from northern peru, and presents new data on rhodnius ecuadoriensis - an important local vector infesting 10-35% of dwellings in some zones. three species are strongly synanthropic and may be suitable targets for chemical control of domestic/peridomestic bug populations. panstrongylus herreri, the main domestic vector in the area, is prob ...200212016438

extracts of anacardium occidentale (cashew) pollen in patients with allergic bronchial asthma.allergic reactions to the pollen of trees is among the most prevalent allergic sensitivities. the cashew tree grows in abundance in the northeast region of the brazil, mainly in fortaleza city, in state of the ceará. it flowers once a year between august and october. this is the first study conducted to establish the possible role of the cashew pollen extract in causing skin test reactivity in patients with allergic asthma. a stock solution of pollen extract was prepared with the standard weight ...200212109528
process for isolation of cardanol from technical cashew (anacardium occidentale l.) nut shell liquid.commercially available technical cashew (anacardium occidentale l.) nut shell liquid (cnsl) contains mainly cardanol (decarboxylated anacardic acid) and cardol. cardanol, the monophenolic component of technical cnsl, is widely used as a synthon for the preparation of a number of polymers and agricultural products. this paper describes the separation of cardanol from toxic cardol. technical cnsl was dissolved in a mixture of methanol and ammonium hydroxide (8:5) and extracted with hexane to obtai ...200212137500
characterization of the soluble allergenic proteins of cashew nut (anacardium occidentale l.).the allergens associated with cashew food allergy have not been well-characterized. we sought to identify the major allergens in cashew nut by performing ige immunoblots to dissociated and reduced or nonreduced cashew protein extracts, followed by sequencing of the peptides of interest. sera from 15 subjects with life-threatening reactions to cashews and 8 subjects who tolerate cashews but have life-threatening reactions to other tree nuts were compared. an aqueous cashew protein extract contain ...200212381147
flavor composition of cashew (anacardium occidentale) and marmeleiro (croton species) honeys.the aim of this work was to characterize the volatile fractions of two brazilian honeys known as caju and marmeleiro. the volatile components were isolated by a column extraction technique using acetone as the extraction solvent. totals of 59 and 36 volatile compounds were definitely or tentatively identified in the caju and marmeleiro honeys, respectively, using reference substances, mass spectral libraries, and the odor qualities of the compounds eluted from the gc column. aroma extraction dil ...200212475279
[use of acid-suppressive medications in hospitalized patients].the acid-suppressive medications are used frequently in hospitalized patients, but some studies suggests that their are overused, especially in the treatment of stress ulcer prophylaxis in low-risk patients. this research determine the frequency of use and indications of acid-suppressive medications in hospitalized patients in a internal medical service.200212522890
separation of cashew (anacardium occidentale l.) nut shell liquid with supercritical carbon dioxide.cashew nut shell liquid (cnsl) represents the largest readily available bioresource of alkenyl phenolic compounds. in this work, separation of cnsl from the pericarp of the cashew nut with supercritical carbon dioxide was studied. in the initial extractions with co(2) at 40-60 degrees c and at pressures from 14.7 to 29.4 mpa, low yields were obtained. however, when the extractions were performed with one or more intermediate depressurization steps, the yield of cnsl increased to as high as 94%. ...200312573557

proline accumulation and glutamine synthetase activity are increased by salt-induced proteolysis in cashew leaves.in this study cashew (anacardium occidentale) plants were exposed to a short- and long-term exposure to nacl in order to establish the importance of the salt-induced proteolysis and the glutamine synthetase activity on the proline accumulation. the cashew leaf showed a prominent proline accumulation in response to salt stress. in contrast, the root tissue had no significant changes in proline content even after the drastic injury caused by salinity on the whole plant. the leaf proline accumulati ...200312685027
laboratory evaluation of the hypoglycemic effect of anacardium occidentale linn (anacardiaceae) stem-bark extracts in rats.this study evaluated the hypoglycemic effect of stem-bark extracts of anacardium occidentale linn., of the anacardiaceae family, in normal (normoglycemic) and in streptozotocin-treated diabetic rats. young adult, male wistar rats weighing 250-300 g were used. diabetes mellitus was induced in the test rats by intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (stz, 90 mg/kg). in one set of experiments, graded doses of the aqueous and methanolic stem-bark extracts of a. occidentale (100-800 mg/kg p.o.) ...200312743624
a sensitive sandwich elisa for the detection of trace amounts of cashew (anacardium occidentale l.) nut in foods.trace amounts of cashew nut protein can provoke severe allergic reactions in sensitive patients. consequently, commercial food processors and regulatory agencies must be vigilant to prevent cashew nut cross-contamination among foods and ensure proper labeling. toward this end, we have developed a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent (elisa) to detect the predominant cashew protein fraction (anacardein or cashew major protein, cmp) that can be extracted in aqueous buffer from food matrixes. prote ...200312744645
