Discussion

Study evaluates antioxidant activity in cashew apples based on extraction methods, suggesting decoction enhances benefits.

Decoction of cashew apples shows superior antioxidant activity compared to maceration, indicating extraction method affects efficacy.
The measured phenolic content in decoction extracts was significantly higher, revealing a correlation with antioxidant capacity.
Maceration resulted in lower polyphenol and flavonoid levels, suggesting suboptimal extraction of beneficial compounds.
Findings emphasize the potential health benefits of cashew apples, supporting their role in diet and traditional therapeutic uses.

TIEKPA et al. (2025) studied this question.
