plants are native to the American tropical regions, and L. (cashew tree) is the most recognized species of the genus. These species contain rich secondary metabolites in their leaf and shoot powder, fruits and other parts that have shown diverse applications. This review describes the habitat and cultivation of species, phytochemical and nutritional composition, and their industrial food applications. Besides, we also discuss the secondary metabolites present in plants which display great antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. These make the use of species in the food industry an interesting approach to the development of green foods.
植物原产于美洲热带地区,而 L.(腰果)是该属中最具代表性的物种。这些物种在其叶和嫩枝粉、果实和其他部位中含有丰富的次生代谢产物,具有多样化的应用。本综述描述了 物种的栖息地和栽培、植物化学和营养成分,以及它们在工业食品中的应用。此外,我们还讨论了 植物中存在的次生代谢产物,它们具有很强的抗氧化和抗菌作用。这些使得在食品工业中使用 物种成为开发绿色食品的一种有趣方法。
