Nuts Roasting Machine | Ozstar Nut Roasting Machine-Peanut-Almond-Cashew Roasting Machine

Cashew kernel is covered with a reddish-brown skin, or testa, that was reported to be rich in hydrolysable tannins, as well as in polyphenols, for which the content can be as high as 243 mg/g of cashew skin extract. Such compounds, particularly epicatechin, were found to possess significant antioxidant properties, as proved by the scavenging activity of the cashew skin extract when tested in antioxidant assays (Kamath and Rajini 2007). 

The same findings emerged from studies that aimed to test cashew skin extract treatment against dimethoate exposure. This widespread organophosphorous pesticide was reported to cause hyperglycemia and pancreatitis, the latter likely due to oxidative stress (Banerjee et al. 2001). OZSTAR (www.ozstarmachinery.com) has the best nuts processing systems including roasters, fryers of different kinds and of various capacities to give you the perfectly roasted nuts! OZSTAR also provides additional equipment for flavouring and seasoning the nuts. 

OZSTAR (www.ozstarmachinery.com) has already various kinds of industrial fryers along flavouring and seasoning equipment for nuts controlled by touch screen. Treatment with cashew skin extract proved to ameliorate and restore tissue antioxidant status in rat pancreases, as well as to confer normal glucose tolerance, thus indicating that cashew skin may be a promising source for natural antioxidants (Kamath et al. 2008).

The residual shell cake after the removal of the nut shell liquid is currently used as fuel in cashew processing factories, as well as in-shell liquid extraction plants (Nair 2010): its calorific value was found to be 17.8 MJ/kg, higher than sawdust and cow dung (Mohod et al. 2008). However, its utilization is limited due to its loose form, which releases acidic fumes during combustion. Therefore, a mixture of cashew shell cake with other waste materials was tested and was proven to be successful with sawdust, cow dung, and wheat flour in different proportions. It provided briquetted fuel with good energy density ratio, low water absorption properties, shatter, and durability indices, indicating good resistance to shock and so increasing the ease of handling and transportation (Mohod et al. 2008). Therefore, the utilization of cashew shell cake as fuel is a promising option for enhancing the energetic selfreliance of cashew processing plants due to its wide availability and low cost.
