What is Production of protein concentrate and isolate from cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) nut about?

The study evaluated methods of producing protein concentrates and isolates from cashew nut in order to increase the global utilization of cashew nut and increase the availability of affordable, good quality protein for people. Cashew nuts were processed to obtain roasted cashew kernel. The roasted cashew kernels were processed into powder by cold solvent extraction of the fat in the cashew meal. Proximate composition of the cashew nut and meal were determined to ascertain the protein content of the cashew nut. The extraction of the proteins was done using two different methods based on the known methods of production of protein isolate and concentrate from other plant sources (peanut), since there are no familiar methods for the production of protein isolate and concentrate from cashew nut. The protein isolates were obtained by an alkaline extraction-isoelectric precipitation method, which involved aqueous alkaline extraction of the proteins at low temperature, and isoelectric precipitation of the protein fractions; the protein concentrates were obtained using an alkaline extraction-methanol precipitation method, which involved aqueous alkaline extraction of the proteins at low tem
