✦ Synopsis

The essential oils of the leaves, fruits, and #owers of the red and yellow varieties of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) were obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC/MS. The oil of the leaves from red cashew was dominated by (E)--ocimene (28.8%), -copaene (13.6%), and -cadinene (9.1%). The major constituents of the oil from fruits of the red variety were palmitic (19.6%) and oleic (19.6%) acids, while palmitic acid (11.4%), furfural (10.0%), 4-hydroxydodecanoic acid lactone (8.2%), (E)-hex-2-enal (7.2%), (Z)-hex-3-enol (6.2%), and hexadecanol (6.2%) were the principal components identi"ed in the oil of yellow cashew. The main constituents found in the oil of the #owers of red cashew were -caryophyllene (26.0%), methyl salicylate (12.8%), and benzyl tiglate (11.3%).
