Studies on the Ultrastructure at the Interface of the Cotyledon and the Testa of Cashew Nut (Anacardium occidentale L.) Before and After Industrial Processing

BARBARA WOOD and J. G. VAUGHAN

Received: 4 February 1975   

A cuticle was found for the first time on the surface of the epidermis of the cotyledon of Anacardium occidentale L., and the ultrastructure of the cuticle was established as being narrow and lamellate. The major ultrastructural features of the previously undescribed testa were the layers of crushed, lignified cells in the endosperm layer, and an associated, electron-dense complex at the interface. Changes in the ultrastructure of the outer lamella of the cuticle, the sub-epidermal layer of the cotyledon and the lining complex of the testa were observed after removal of the testa by industrial processing. The basic ultrastructure of the endosperm layer of the testa and the inner lamella of the cuticle were found to be least affected by the processing.
