Processos de beneficiamento e aproveitamento de resíduos do processamento do caju (Anacardium occidentale) uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

Brazilian fruit growing grows every day contributing to the development of Brazilian agriculture, in the Northeast region the highlight is the cashew culture which contributes as an activity of high socioeconomic importance. The states of Ceará, Paraíba, and Rio Grande do Norte represent the largest weight in production of (ACC), since the peduncle is used in the form of juices, sweets, flour, jellies, nectars, and fermented, representing only 15% of the stalk production. Through the processing of the cashew nut, 3 main residues are generated, which is the cashew bagasse that comes from the cashew stalk, chestnut liquid (LCC) and the ashes of the cashew nut shell (ACPC), both belonging to the cashew nut. Evidencing the need for the application of technologies aimed at the use of these residues, for this reason this bibliographic review brings some of the ways to transform residues from the cashew industry that would be wasted in products of commercial value and social utility such as enzymes, pectinases, aromas, natural dyes, biogas, adsorbent in wastewater treatment, ethanol, plastic, biodiesel, brick, mortar, larvicide, repellent, asphalt binder modifying agents and smart watch (
