Abstract
Numerous researches have reported the health benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables which contain antioxidant properties. Cashew apple is crop native to Cambodia which rich has useful nutrients namely vitamins, minerals and sugar. The physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of cashew apple were determined. Cashew apple varieties named Native Red cashew apple (NR), Native Yellow cashew apple (NY), M23 (M23), H09 (H09), and India varieties (Khmer local calling) (IN) were selected and analyzed for pH, total titratable acidity (TTA), total soluble solids (TSS), total sugar (TS), Reducing Sugar (RS), vitamin C, and total phenolic content (TPC) using standard methods. Significant different (p<005) was observed in physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of varieties cashew apple with content ranging from: pH (3.47-4.83), total titratable acidity (0.13-1.47%), total soluble solids (9.33-12.13 oBrix), total sugar (7.28-9.41%), Reducing Sugar (6.87-9.41%), vitamin C (124.13-321.94mg/100ml), and total phenolic content (221.38-325.30mgGAE/100ml). These research results have a potential nutritional properties of cashew apple fruits to food and nutrition security if promoted for utilization.
