Studies on packaging of dehydrated tender cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) kernel
Summary
This study evaluated five packaging treatments for dehydrated tender cashew kernels over 120 days of storage, finding that 120-micron double-sided aluminum foil packaging with nitrogen flushing best preserved physicochemical quality including moisture, fat, and peroxide values throughout the storage period.
This study investigated the effects of different packaging materials on the storage stability of dehydrated tender cashew kernels. Five packaging treatments were evaluated: T1: 51+µ LDPE without nitrogen flushing (control), T2: 50+ µ with nitrogen flushing (one-way aluminum foil), T3: 60 µ with nitrogen flushing (both-side aluminum foil), T4: 100 µ with nitrogen flushing (transparent granular), T5: 120 µ with nitrogen flushing (both-side aluminum foil).The experiment followed a Factorial Completely Randomized Design (FCRD) with observations recorded at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days of storage. Parameters assessed included physicochemical properties (moisture, fat, protein, ash, fiber, carbohydrates, peroxide value) Results indicated that T5 (120 µ both-side aluminum foil with nitrogen flushing) provided the best preservation, maintaining quality for 120 days with minimal degradation.
