“…Bamboo shoots contain a variety of nutrients beneficial for human health, including vitamins, proteins, minerals, fats, fiber, and bio-active compounds, such as phenolic and flavonoid compounds ( Zhang et al, 2011 ; Nongdam and Tikendra, 2014 ). The nutritional content of bamboo shoots varies depending on the species and environmental factors ( Chongtham et al, 2011 ; Satya et al, 2012 ). The bio-active compounds contained in bamboo shoots exhibit biological activities, including antioxidant ( Bajwa et al, 2018 ), anti-bacterial ( Tanaka et al, 2011 ), and anti-allergy ( Tanaka et al, 2014 ) activities.…”

“…Although bamboo shoots are rich in biochemical compounds and have nutritional benefit for human health, the fresh bamboo shoots have some toxin compounds known as cyanide. Cyanide exists as cyanogenic glycoside in bamboo shoots, with its the content varying depending on the species and the portion of bamboo shoots ( Satya et al, 2012 ). Cyanide at a content of 0.5∼3.5 mg/kg body weight demonstrates acute effects on human health ( Pandey and Ojha, 2014 ).…”

This study evaluated the cyanide content, bio-active compounds profile, volatile compounds profile, and biological activity of fresh and boiled sliced bamboo. Cyanide was only detected in fresh bamboo shoots, at a content of 140.40±5.34 mg/kg. Furthermore, the fresh bamboo shoots extracts had free radical scavenging properties, as demonstrated by ABTS･ + and DPPH･ assays, and contained phytochemical compounds, such as flavonoid, terpenoid, and reducing sugar. Indeed, the total phenolic and flavonoid contents were 12.12±0.12 mg gallic acid equivalent/dw and 1.60±0.11 mg quercetin equivalent/dw, respectively. In addition, these extracts demonstrated inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (61.30±0.45%), α-amylase (37.00±1.82%), and tyrosinase (26.57±0.57%). Some volatile compounds, such as 2-methoxyphenol and 2-pentylfuran, show α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, and these compounds exerted α-amylase inhibitory activity in the fresh sliced bamboo shoots. The major volatile compound 4-methylphenol (68.15%), which exerts tyrosinase inhibitory activity, was also detected in fresh sliced bamboo shoots. The boiled sliced bamboo shoots extracts also contained bio-active compounds and exhibited biological activity similar to those in the fresh sliced bamboo shoots extracts. However, the boiling process and sliced technique reduced the bio-active compounds and biological properties as well as some of volatile compounds.

“…In addition to construction material, bamboo also has an important economic value. Bamboo can serve as a source of renewable energy, fuel, industrial fabrics and paper, furniture (Chele, 2012), pharmaceuticals (Senthilkumar et al, 2011), and foodstuff (Satya et al, 2012). Currently, bamboo is also being developed as a material for making bicycles and computer case (Chele, 2012).…”

Technology advancement has encouraged development of processing method variation and enhanced utilization of natural resources widely. Ethnobotany can be used to document the local customs involving the practical uses of bamboo for many aspects of life. The aim of study was to describe utilization of bamboo by Sangirese. A total of 30 respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire and personal interviews. Data were descriptively analyzed based on exploration results and interviews with respondents. The result showed 12 species of bamboo had been founded and correlated with the local community in Sangirese, consist of six species of Bambusa, three species of Schizostachyum, and each one species of Dendrocalamus Gigantochloa, and Neololeba. The uses of bamboos were grouped into nine categories, namely construction and materials, handicraft, furniture, ceremonial, musical instruments, transportation, medicine, ornamental plants, and food. Several species had been used more than one purpose and B. maculata was the most commonly used. Bamboo ethnobotany in Sangirese was firstly recorded and expected could enrich bamboo ethnobotany data from Celebes as well as to introduce Sangirese culture.

“…The shoot can be processed into a wide variety of health foods and medicines after the natural toxin (cyanogen) has been removed (Pandey and Ojha, 2011). The total potential of bamboo worldwide is estimated at $10 billion with China and Taiwan as the leading countries in exporting edible bamboo shoots (Satya et al, 2012).…”

Most of every part of bamboo plants had economical value. The wood is used as building and furniture, the shoot is processed as health foods and medicines, the root and culms are used as traditional medicine. The leaf has been believed that it could heal diarrhea in piglets, rabbit, poultry and calves. This research was designed to investigate the inhibition activity of apus bamboo leaf extracts against four strains pathogenic Escherichia coli. The leaf of apus bamboo (G. apus) was extracted in methanol, ethanol and methanol-ethanol (1:1), subsequently dried and assayed for their antibacterial activity using diffusion and dilution. Among three solvents used in this study, ethanol was the best with a yield of 18.74% and its effectivity was about 0.44% compared to tetracycline. The bioactive compounds in the extract were fatty acids, esters and alcohols.
