There has been interest in developing a cashew industry in Maputaland, the far north-eastern corner of Natal/KwaZulu. Flowering and fruit development coincide with a rainy period, with accompanying serious flower diseases (Oidium anacardii and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides). Glasshouse studies were carried out at Pietermaritzburg, concurrently with field trials in Maputaland, in an attempt to manipulate flowering and growth of cashew trees. Two glasshouse trial were carried out. A factorial design with treatments 0, 3, 6 and 9 weeks of low temperatures (24°C day/9°C nights)(factor A) and 0, 3, 6 and 9 weeks of water deficit (Factor B) was used, with both factors in all combinations. During the second season the durations were increased to 0, 4, 8 and 12 weeks for both factors. No flowering occurred in this trial. Tree growth was not affected significantly by drought and/or cold duration. Temperature appeared to be the dominant factor at low temperatures, stomatal conductance and transpiration being suppressed by cold regardless of soil water potential. At more optimum temperatures for growth, stomatal conductance was dependent on soil water potential (r² = 0.756). Starch levels in the roots, dry matter production in the leaves, roots and stems, as well as leaf area were decreased significantly (P≤0.01) with increasing low temperature duration. Another glasshouse trial to test the effects of foliar urea at concentrations of 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 g urea 100 l⁻¹, applied once, twice or thrice at fortnightly intervals was undertaken. The treatments were applied in late autumn/early winter of 1990 and 1991. Tree growth and flowering were monitored, and starch and leaf NH₃/NH₄⁺ analyses carried out. The highest urea concentration (8%) resulted in leaf scorch and abscission, extremely low stem diameter growth rates, and was too high for glasshouse trees. The starch contents of the 8% urea treatment were depleted significantly (P≤0.01) more than the other concentrations. The other urea treatments resulted in vigorous growth and high dry matter production. There were no significant effects of the number of sprays on cashew growth. Only seven trees flowered, and therefore no definite conclusions could be drawn regarding urea effects on flowering. Most hermaphrodite flowers (max. 76.8% hermaphrodite) opened soon after first anthesis of a panicle, and all terminal flowers of panicle branches were hermaphrodite. Flowers generally opened basipetally in a panicle, starting with hermaphrodite flowers and with progressively more male flowers. Urea sprays resulted in NH₃/NH₄⁺ build-up in the leaves, concentrations in flowering trees ranging from 100 to 700 μg g⁻¹ DM for approximately a month. A field trial at was carried out at Makatini Research Station to determine the effects of timing of a two month winter drought period on flowering and growth. An observational trial to determine the effects of girdling on growth and flowering was incorporated in the border rows of the irrigation trial. The trial tested five treatments (no irrigation during May and June, June and July, July and August, August and September, and a control treatment which received irrigation throughout Winter). Mean monthly temperatures were below 20°C, and mean minimum temperatures below 15°C for the 5 winter months during treatment application. There were no significant differences in tree growth, flowering, flushing, or yields between drought stressed treatments and control, indicating that, under the conditions at Makatini, autumn and winter temperature was the overriding factor controlling initial flower induction. Flowering occurred from early October (when mean temperatures exceeded 23 to 24°C) to late April (7 months - a prolonged flowering period), when mean monthly temperatures dropped below 23 to 24°C. Girdling of cashew trees in March and May, using girdle widths of 1, 5 and 10 mm was not successful in improving flowering and yields under the conditions of the trial. A field trial was carried out at Mosi Estate in Maputaland to test the following chemicals as tree and/or flower manipulators: foliar applied ethephon (50,100,200,500,2000 mg l⁻¹), KNO₃ (1 %, 2%, 4%), urea (1 %, 2%, 4%) and paciobutrazol (500, 1000, 2000 mg l⁻¹). A phenological model for cashew in Maputaland showed a dormant period during winter, followed by a generative flush, from which panicles and flowers were produced (peak November-January). The harvest period peaked in February and March. A strong post-harvest flush preceded the winter dormant period. Trunk starch levels were at their highest after the dormant winter period, and at their lowest following the harvest. Ethephon at high concentrations (500 and 2000 mg l⁻¹) resulted in excessive leaf drop, disturbed the root shoot balance and normal phenological patterns, and gave poor yields. The best ethephon concentrations were 100 to 200 mg l⁻¹. KNO₃had no significant effect on tree growth, flushing, flowering or yields when compared to control trees. Urea at 2% concentration gave a significant increase (P≤0.05) in flushing and simultaneous decrease in flowering. Paclobutrazol at 500 to 2000 mg l⁻¹ resulted in significantly lower growth rates, and early panicle production. The mean yields of all paclobutrazol treated treatments were higher than controls, despite a hail storm which damaged the flowers. From results of this trial, the use of these chemicals to improve yields and manipulate flowering may not be economically justified. The most promising chemical for further research was paclobutrazol. / Thesis (M.Sc.Agric.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1994.

Mediante o processo de pirólise, dependendo do tipo de biomassa, a mesma pode ser transformada em liquido, carvão e gases não condensáveis em diferentes proporções. A casca de castanha de caju triturada foi submetida à pirólise em reator de leito fixo, em escala laboratorial. Os experimentos foram realizados em atmosfera inerte (N2), variando a temperatura final (500, 700 e 900 °C) e a taxa de aquecimento (5, 10 e 15 °C/min). Os produtos líquidos (alcatrão+água), sólidos (carvão) e gasosos foram coletados avaliando-se os rendimentos e relacionando-os com os parâmetros previamente estabelecidos. Posteriormente, os produtos foram submetidos a vários testes de caracterização com o objetivo de obter informações que possam contribuir para a sua melhor utilização. O alcatrão foi analisado pela técnica de cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectrometria de massa (CG-MS). O carvão foi submetido a testes de analise elementar, espectrometria de fluorescência de raio-X (EFRX), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e a medida de área superficial por adsorção de N2. Os gases apos coletados foram analisados através de um cromatógrafo com detector de condutividade térmica (CG-DCT). Os resultados mostram que a taxa de aquecimento influi no rendimento e na composição dos produtos obtidos. Quanto a caracterização dos produtos sólidos, os mesmos apresentaram alto poder calorífico, podendo ser utilizado como combustível e características potenciais para serem incorporados ao solo. A fração liquida e composta basicamente de compostos fenólicos, caracterizando o alcatrão como insumo para diversas aplicações. Considerando o poder calorífico do gás produto sem nitrogênio, verifica-se que este pode ser utilizado como combustível em queima direta em caldeiras ou em motores e turbinas apos um pré-tratamento de limpeza / Abstract: The use of cashew nut shell by thermal conversion can represent a solution to the actual environmental problem of the disposal this of agricultural reject. By the process of pyrolysis, process depending on the biomass type, it can be transformed into liquid, char and non- condensable gases in different proportions. On this work, the crushed cashew nuts shells has been submitted to the pyrolysis in fixed bed reactor, at laboratory scale. The experiments have taken place into an inert atmosphere (N2), ranging the final temperature (500, 700 and 900 °C) and heating rate (5, 10 and 15 °C / min). The liquid products (tar and water), solids (char) and gases have been collected evaluating the yields and relating them to previously established parameters. Afterwards, the products have been submitted to a various characterization tests in order to obtain data that can contribute to their better use. The tar has been analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The char has been submitted to a ultimate analysis, fluorescence spectrometry X-ray (EFRX), electron microscopy of scanning (SEM) and measurement of surface area by adsorption of N2. The gases, after being collected, have been analyzed by a chromatography with thermal conductivity detector (GC-DCT). In order to check the heating rate influence on yield and composition of products obtained. The char obtained has a heating value higher and can be used as fuel characteristics and potential to be incorporated into the soil. As regards the tar composition phenolic compounds are most significant, characterizing the tar as a material for several applications. Considering the heating value of product gas without nitrogen, it appears that it can be used as fuel for direct combustion in boilers or in engines and turbines after a pre-cleaning treatment / Doutorado / Termica e Fluidos / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica

The experimental animals were submitted, initially, to a adaptation period of 15 days. After the adaptation period, the treatments T1 and T2 were initiated, with a total length of 85 (eighty five) days. The T1 was constituted by a feeding based on a isoproteic and isocaloric concentrate with 18% of FACC, that was administered in a proportion of 1,2% of live weight (P. V. ), and roughage (Tifton grass hay) âad libitumâ. The T2 was constituted with the same isoprotÃico and isocalÃrico concentrate with 0% of FACC. The rations (concentrated) were administered once a day in individual hods. The roughage surpluses were collected and weighted during the whole experimental period. The mean values found for the studied traits were: daily weight gain (T1) 0,068 g and (T2) 0,094 g; total dry mater consumption (T1) 1,255 g + 0,23 and (T2) 1,302 g + 0,22; scrotal circunference (T1) 30,38 cm + 2,26 and (T2) 31,16 + 2,13 cm ; ejaculated volume (T1) 0,9 ml + 0,38 and (T2) 1,0 ml + 0,46; spermatic concentration (T1) 2,44 x 109 and (T2) 3,15 x 109 sptz / ml; massal motility (T1) 3,05 and (T2) 3,24; progressive individual motility (T1) 3,56 + 0,68 and (T2) 3,58 + 0,72; percentage of movable spermatozoids (T1) 69,16 and (T2) 70,31. There were not significant differences (P>0,05) for the different parameters among the two treatments. In this way, it was concluded that the inclusion of 18% of bran of almond of the cashew nut (FACC) in the concentrate, for feed suplementation of sheep sires is viable, tends in view that the parameters studied in the two treatments they were not negatively affected by the presence of FACC.

Mannich bases from dimethylamine, formaldehyde and phenol, m-cresol, eugenol, p-tent-pentylphenol, p-tert butylphenol, p-iso-propylphenol, 3,1,5-trimetbylphenol, resorcinol, 3-pentadecylphenol and the component phenols of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) have been prepared. Mannich bases have also been prepared from methylamine, formaldehyde with phenol and with m-cresol, from diethylenetriamine, formaldehyde and phenol, m-cresol, resorcinol, 3-pentadecylphenol and the component phenols of CNSL. A11 the Mannich bases were examined by H nuclear magnetic resonance, infra-red spectroscopy and by T. L. C. The coloured products formed from autoxidation of resorcinol, orcinol and hydrolr-ß-orcinol in presence of ammonia, methylamine and dimethylamine were isolated by column chromatography and preparative TLC and examined by 1H NMR, I. R, U. V. and mass spectroscopy. Structures of some of the products have been proposed based on chemical and spectroscopic evidence. A new technique for the separation of cardanol and cardol in cashew nut shell liquid by extractive distillation using bases has been devised.

A castanha de caju à constituÃda de amÃndoa (ACC), principal produto, casca e pelÃcula, que apresentam caracterÃsticas especÃficas devido à presenÃa de compostos fenÃlicos. O presente estudo apresenta como objetivo, avaliar os efeitos do processamento industrial sobre constituintes da amÃndoa, mÃtodos de extraÃÃo do lÃquido na casca (LCC) e compostos fenÃlicos na pelÃcula de castanha de caju. A extraÃÃo do LCC foi realizada seguindo um delineamento experimental fatorial 3^2 completo, variando pressÃo e temperatura. O LCC extraÃdo por prensagem variou entre 26 a 34 g/100g de casca, com pressÃo e temperatura exercendo efeitos positivos estatisticamente significativos. Ocorreu uma predominÃncia dos Ãcidos anacÃrdicos C15:3, C15:1 e C15:2 nas amostras obtidas por prensagem e com a utilizaÃÃo de solvente orgÃnico, apresentando uma concentraÃÃo na faixa de 44 a 62% de Ãcidos anacÃrdicos totais. As extraÃÃes dos compostos fenÃlicos da pelÃcula, com Ãgua, foram realizadas seguindo um delineamento composto central rotacional 3^2 para extraÃÃo assistida por ultrassom (EAU), variando tempo, densidade de potÃncia e razÃo lÃquido/sÃlido, e um 2^2 para extraÃÃo acelerada com solvente (EAS), variando tempo e temperatura. O conteÃdo fenÃlico extraÃdo da pelÃcula de castanha de caju utilizando EAU se apresentou na faixa de 40-44% com SST variando entre 0,6 e 3,8, e para EAS entre 33-46% e 1,5 a 4,3, respectivamente. Os compostos fenÃlicos majoritÃrios foram catequina e epicatequina. As etapas do processamento industrial de ACC selecionadas foram in natura, classificada, umidificada, cozida, desidratada e selecionada, submetidas à secagem, moagem e extraÃÃo lipÃdica. O teor de umidade variou entre 2,5 a 11,0% e o lipÃdico apresentou um valor mÃdio de 42%, exceto para a ACC umidificada. Os Ãcidos anacÃrdicos totais, C15:3 e C15:1, apresentaram concentraÃÃes entre 32 e 182 mg/g de Ãleo de ACC, e seu conteÃdo degradado e/ou transformado foi o proveniente da incorporaÃÃo na amÃndoa durante as etapas de armazenagem e umidificaÃÃo. Os grÃnulos de amidos identificados pela presenÃa da âcruz de Maltaâ, birrefringente, apresentavam formas arredondadas e a quantidade diminuiu com o avanÃo das etapas do processamento industrial. O aproveitamento integral da castanha de caju com a extraÃÃo do lÃquido da casca da castanha de caju de mini-fÃbricas por apresentar elevado conteÃdo alquifenol em Ãcidos anacÃrdicos, juntamente com as extraÃÃes assistida por ultrassom e acelerada com solvente de compostos fenÃlicos da pelÃcula de castanha de caju se mostraram atrativos para o mercado de produtos naturais. O efeito do processamento industrial sobre constituintes da amÃndoa de castanha de caju como os Ãcidos anacÃrdicos direciona para uma reavaliaÃÃo de processo por parte da indÃstria devido a grande perda do conteÃdo alquilfenol apÃs a etapa de cozimento. / The cashew nut is a major agro-industrial inputs, distinguishing as an icon in the economy northeast of Brazil. The cashew nut is made of almond (ACN), the main product, shell and testa, which have specific characteristics due to the presence of phenolic compounds. Of the present work the objective is to the evaluate the effects of industrial processing on constituents of almond, methods of extracting shell liquid (CNSL) and phenolic compounds in the testa. The extraction of CNSL was carried out following a full factorial design of experimental 3^2, varying pressure and temperature. The yield of pressing ranged from 26 to 34% in the extraction of CNSL with pressure and temperature exerting statistically significant positive effects. Occurred predominance the anacardic acids of C15:3, C15:2 and C15:1 in samples obtained by pressing and with the use of organic solvent, having a concentration in the range of 44-62% total anacardic acids. The extraction of phenolic compounds from the testa with water was performed following a rotational central composite design 3^2 by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), varying the time, power density and liquid / solid ratio, and 2^2 for accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), varying time and temperature. The phenolic content extracted of the testa cashew nut using UAE ranged from 40-44% with SST ranging between 0.6 and 3.8, and between 33-46% for EAS and 1.5 to 4.3, respectively. The major phenolic compounds in the samples were catechin and epicatechin. The industrial processing steps of ACN were in nature, classified, humidified, cooked, dehydrated and selected, subjected to drying, grinding and lipid extraction. The humidity ranged between 2.5 and 11.0%, lipid had a mean value of 42%, except for the humidified ACN. The total anacardic acids, C15:3 and C15:1, had concentrations between 32 and 182 mg / g ACN oil and its degraded content and/or has been transformed from the incorporation of the seed during storage and humidification. The starch granules identified by the presence of the cross of Malta had rounded shapes and the amount decreased with the advance of industrial processing steps. The whole utilization the cashew with the extraction of the shell liquid cashew mini-factories because of its high content of alkylphenol in anacardic acids, together with the assistance of ultrasound and accelerated solvent extraction of phenolic compounds testa cashew nut proved attractive to the natural products market. The effect of industrial processing on constituents of almond cashew nut as anacardic acids directs to a reassessment process by the industry due to the large loss of alkylphenol content after the cooking step.
