Cashew apple for fresh consumption: research on harvest and postharvest technology in Brazil.

Auteurs : FILGUEIRAS H. A. C., ALVES R. E., MOSCA J. L., et al.

Résumé

The pseudo-fruit or apple represents nearly 90% of the cashew (nut + apple). It is almost entirely edible, with pleasant flavour and aroma and high nutritive value, which is due mainly to high vitamin C and sugar contents. Despite these attributes, losses are as high as 90%. Ripe cashew apple is highly metabolically active and for a long time has been considered too tender and perishable for international trade. Research conducted in Brazil recently demonstrated that cashew apples can be kept in good condition for up to fifteen days after harvest. The paper intends to discuss the conditions to achieve an extension of the postharvest life.
