Technologies developed at CEPCI as part of the NAIP-ICAR Project

 

CEPCI-NAIP 1

 

Low cost method for anacardic acid extraction from cashew nut shell

Anacardic acids do have many industrial and medicinal applications with established anticancer activity and the cost of which falls on a higher side. It is very much demand in the international market

 

CEPCI-NAIP 2

Pollution controlling system

It reduces environmental pollutions viz. sulphate, nitrate and carbonate from the drum roasting cashew processing units and creates green atmosphere

 

CEPCI-NAIP 3

Cellulase Production from cashew shell cake

Cellulase is widely used in food industry and textile industry. The recycling of the waste is being effected

 

CEPCI-NAIP 4

Pectinase Production from cashew shell cake

They are one of the important functional food ingredients in jams, jellies, fruit juices, confectionery products, bakery fillings and are used for stabilization of acidified milk drinks and yoghurts

 

 

CEPCI-NAIP 5                  

Tannase Production from cashew testa

Tannase is extensively used in the food, feed, beverage, brewing and pharmaceutical industries

 

CEPCI-NAIP 6

Bioremediation technology

This technique is used for CNSL polluted surface of the cashew processing unit and creating a green atmosphere for the working group as cashew shell liquid is irritant to human being

 

CEPCI-NAIP 7

Immobilized bioremediation

Recycling of waste water from cashew industry can be possible

 

CEPCI-NAIP 8

Polymerised compound from residol

It provides resistance to moisture and weathering, good green strength and surface finish to moulded articles

 

CEPCI-NAIP 9

Mechanical peeler

It is simplest, cheaper and will cost only below ₹40,000/-

 

CEPCI-NAIP 10

Non thermal technology for cutting and peeling of raw cashew nut

Simplest, cheaper, less time consuming, non thermal and non-enzymatic scission of cashew nut shell is possible and prevents decarboxilation of anacardic acid

 

CEPCI-NAIP 11

Storage management protocols for raw cashew nuts

Better storage parameters and shelf life for RCN

 

CEPCI-NAIP 12

Nanocellulose from cashew by products

Nanocellulose finds its use in medical purpose, designing of nanostructures, control of interfacial interactions & assembly into systems development.
