description The aim of this study was to produce powders from the phenolic extract of the cashew by-product using maltodextrin and gum arabic as encapsulating agents to preserve these bioactive compounds and their antioxidative activity. Extraction was assisted by an ultrasound bath to increase the release of the bioactive compounds, resulting in the hydroalcoholic extract from cashew bagasse. The powders were physically and morphologically characterized, and their total phenolics, antioxidant activity and bioaccessibility were evaluated. All parameters were analyzed by chemometrics. In addition, UPLC-HRMS analysis was used to evaluate the phenolic profile of the extracts, revealing that the powders were able to protect some of the original compounds of the extract, such as catechin, the myricetin fraction and quercetin. The powders showed high total phenolic retention capacity, especially maltodextrin (2893.34 ± 20.18 mg GAE/100 g (DW)), which was the encapsulant that preserved the highest content of polyphenols and antioxidant activity after bioaccessibility in comparison to the unencapsulated extract. The powders showed low water activity (<0.2), low moisture (<8%), high solubility (>60 %) and low hygroscopicity (<4%). The SEM analysis showed that lyophilized extract samples resembled broken glass, which is characteristic of the lyophilization process, and in addition to a predominantly amorphous structure as demonstrated by the X-ray diffraction. The extraction and encapsulation of phenolic compounds from the cashew by-product through lyophilization and using maltodextrin and gum arabic as encapsulants enabled their preservation and potential use of these compounds by the nutraceutical or food industry, and can be used as food additive in order to enrich the content of compounds and the antioxidant activity of numerous products.
