“…Obesity is a complex metabolic disease, and is prone to insulin resistance, white fat and liver lipid accumulation, inflammation, and abnormal lipid metabolism. So far, there are no safe and effective drugs that can effectively treat obesity; however, individual components or extracts from BS are effective in this sense [ 21 , 23 ]. In this study, we evaluated whether BS whole powder has similar anti-obesity effects as the single component which was previously studied.…”

Bamboo shoots (BS) have a variety of nutritional benefits; however, their anti-obesity effect and its underlying mechanism of action are still unclear. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of BS against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced gut dysbiosis in mice. After 12 weeks of feeding C57BL/6J mice either on a normal or an HFD with or without BS, metabolic indicators, including blood lipids and glucose tolerance, were measured. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolomics were used to identify alterations in gut microbiota composition and fecal metabolic profiling. The results demonstrated that BS supplementation reduced body weight by 30.56%, mitigated liver damage, and improved insulin resistance and inflammation in obese mice. In addition, BS increased short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels and SCFA-producing bacteria (e.g., Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group and Norank_f_Muribaculaceae), and reduced levels of harmful bacteria (e.g., Blautia and Burkholderia–Paraburkholderia). Finally, BS increased many beneficial fecal metabolites, such as fatty acids and bile acids, which are highly relevant to the altered gut microbiota. Based on the modulatory effect of BS on microbiota composition and gut metabolite levels observed in this study, we suggest that BS may be beneficial in treating obesity and its related complications.

“…A large number of studies have shown that bamboo shoot DF has the functions of hypolipidemic, anti‐diabetes, anti‐obesity, and prebiotics. Compared with several commonly used DFs, the DF in bamboo shoot was the most effective one to inhibit fat accumulation in mice induced by high‐fat diet (X. Li et al, 2016; Li et al, 2018). The content of DF in bamboo shoot accounts for 20%–35% of the dry weight, which is a good source of high‐quality DF, and the content of IDF accounts for about 60%–90% of the total carbohydrate of bamboo shoots (Felisberto et al, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) fermentation on the composition, structure, and functional properties of dietary fiber (DF) in bamboo shoot. Then, we added it to bread to evaluate the texture properties, digestive properties, and functionality of bread. After LGG fermentation, the DF was decomposed into pieces, which had stronger water-swelling capacity and nitrite adsorption capacity. The ability of producing short-chain fatty acids was significantly improved and the digestive resistance was remarkable enhanced as well. Except the bread hardness was increased, there was no significant difference in other texture properties when adding 3% FTDF-LGG to bread. It had good adsorption capacity of cholesterol and more than 25% reduced the release of reducing sugar. Overall, the technic of LGG fermentation had improved functional properties of DF in bamboo shoot, which could be applied to bread production for exerting its effects in the future. Practical applicationsBamboo shoots are immature and tender stems of bamboo, rich in nutritional value, and rich in DF. Bamboo shoot DF has been proven to have a variety of biological activities, and is the main material for bamboo shoot to exert functional activities. In this study, bamboo shoot DF was modified by LGG fermentation, which showed stronger functional activity, and was successfully applied to bread. This study lays the foundation for the fermented modified bamboo shoot DF and its application in food.

“…They are rich in essential nutrients such as dietary fiber, protein, carotene, vitamins, selenium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and are a good source of nutrients high in fiber and low in fat [ 1 , 2 , 6 ]. They are not only a storehouse of nutritional elements, but also contain some important antioxidants and other functional components, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, etc., which help prevent metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”

In order to investigate the pollution situation and sources analysis of heavy metals in bamboo shoot soil in Guangdong Province, a total of 175 soil samples were collected at 46 sites. Atomic fluorescence spectrophotometer and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were used to determine the content of five heavy metals: lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and chromium (Cr). In addition, the soil environmental quality was evaluated through different index methods, including single-factor pollution, Nemeiro comprehensive pollution, geoaccumulation, and potential ecological risk. Furthermore, the correlation coefficients were also discussed. The results showed that the soils collected were acidic or slight alkaline. The maximum content of Pb and As from some areas exceeded the standard limit value. The coefficient of variation value from six areas exceeded 100%. The index method mentioned above confirmed that the soil within study areas was divided into three pollution levels: no, slightly, and mild. Additionally, there was a very significant correlation between pH and Pb, Hg; the correlation between heavy metal As and Pb, Cr also reached a very significant level. The principal component analysis results show that PC1 accounts for 39.60% of the total variance, which includes Pb, Cd, and As. PC2 mainly includes Hg and Cr.
