Discussion

Study evaluates antioxidant activity in cashew apples using two extraction methods, indicating decoctions outperform macerations.

Decoction extracts have significantly higher antioxidant activity compared to maceration extracts.
Polyphenol contents were highest in decoction extracts, reaching up to 197.15 mg EQ/g.
Using the DPPH method, free radical scavenging activity was assessed, correlating with phenolic content.
Findings support traditional diets using cashew apples due to their therapeutic properties.

TIEKPA et al. (2025) studied this question.
