Crude cashewkernel oil was subjected to refining by degumming, alkali-refining, bleaching and deodorization. The crude as well as the oil at every stage of refining was characterized. Results indicate an improved quality oil on refining mainly in terms of increased stability. The polyunsaturated fatty acid level and some of the identity characteristics of the oil were not significantly altered by the refining process.
