Resumo
Anacardium occidentale, a tree that can be found in many regions in
Brazil, produces a gummous exudates with a large quantity of
polysaccharides and. These polysaccharides present great potential for
biotechnological applications as source of complex carbohydrates or
due to its functional properties, such as gel and film formation. In this
research, the viability of using the cashew gum polysaccharide (CGP) as
substitute for agar in solid culture media was evaluated. After
determination of the best proportion between CGP and agar in media
formulation, the following parameters were evaluated: moisture loss,
changes in texture during storage and the capacity to promote microbial
growth. The CGP presented good efficiency in substituting agar the in
the texted culture media, promoting microbial growth conditions
similar to control media .
