ABSTRACT: Cashew cultivation is growing in Burkina Faso, but
nut production remains low. Identification of high-performance plant material
with known varietal characteristics is
essential for breeding. This study consisted of physical-chemical and nutritional characterization
of almonds from a core selection of 53 cashew accessions from Burkina Faso.
Proximate composition included contents in water, lipids, carbohydrates,
proteins, ash, cellulose using standard methods. Major constituents were lipids
with an average level of 50.71% ± 4.07%, followed by carbohydrates and proteins
with average levels of 21.18% ± 3.81% and 20.62% ± 1.58%, respectively. Average
water, ash and cellulose levels were 4.56% ± 0.39%, 2.87% ± 0.27% and 4.61% ±
2.52%, respectively. The analysis of variability within accessions, based on
physical and chemical parameters, identified 3 groups that differ in lipids,
carbohydrates, proteins, cellulose and energy value. The first group containing
17 accessions of fat-rich cashews, average protein levels and very high energy
values is more interesting for tree improvement programs.
