Cashew nut shell liquid is a by-product of the cashew industry. The shell of the nut contains a dark reddish brown viscous liquid. It is called the cashew nut shell liquid. The CSNL content of the raw nut varies between 20 and 25 percent. There are more than 200 patents for its industrial application, in particular, its use as raw material for phenolic resins and friction powder for the automotive industry. Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) consists unsaturated phenolic compounds, anacardic acid (90%) and cardol (10%) with minor amounts of 2-methyl cardol. Three different methods used in extracting cashew nut shell liquid from cashew nuts are mechanical, roasting and solvent extraction. The processes used are mainly hot-oil and roasting in which the CNSL oozes out from the shell. CNSL finds a wide array of applications such as friction linings, paints & varnishes, laminating resins, rubber compounding resins, cashew cements, polyurethane based polymers, surfactants, foundry chemicals and intermediates for chemical industry. CNSL exhibits potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and weak antifungal activity against molds. Traditionally it is to treat such scurvy, sores, warts, ringworm and psoriasis. It could be a source of new antimicrobial agents, especially for use in foods and cosmetics.
