Cashew kernels have a high nutritive value. Upon exposer to air, kernels turn rancid and thier nutritive value decreases. It is found that chemical treatment using antioxidants reduced oxidative rancidity but failed to prevent deterioration in organoleptic characteristics and decreas in protine and carbohydrate content of stored kernels.
