Abstract: Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) tree is mainly known for the production of cashew nuts. Cashew apple
also known as pseudo-fruit is the by-product of cashew nut production. The fruit is often neglected due to
its high perishability. It is important to note that cashew nut production leads to average wastage of around
2 million tons in Maharashtra alone. Additionally, cashew apple needs to be known for its value-added
potential as it is a rich source of ascorbic acid, polyphenols, minerals, vitamins and sugars. Recovery of
these high-value nutrients may render the cashew apple processing sustainable and will further add value to
the fruit waste. The authors herein review the sustainable application and benefit of cashew apple as a byproduct of cashew nut production.
Keywords: Cashew apple, preprocessing, value addition, sustainability
