Abstract
Cashew nut is a food with high production in the Brazilian Northeast, nutritionally adequate and interesting for the development of new products as an alternative for the creation of heathier habits, compared of diet with high intake of industrialized product and promoters of environment damage. The objective of this study was to elaborate a cream-based cashew nuts, and to analyze its nutritional composition and the environmental impact. The cashew nut cream was made with cashew nut in nature, apple puree and cocoa powder, processed until it turned into a homogenized cream. The centesimal composition of the product showed 31.23g of lipids, 30.3g of carbohydrates, 17.25g of proteins. The analysis of the environmental impact of this product showed an emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) of 216.6g of gCO2 Eq, a value below the emission ofproducts derived from milk and oilseeds, such as peanuts, and the water footprint of 3285.7 L was higher thanthe products mentioned above. The study concludes that cashew nut cream is shown as a food that has good nutritional content and low environmental impact on carbon dioxide emissions.
