Research Progress of Physiological Active Substances of Pleioblastus amarus Shoots
Pleioblastus amarus shoots are a kind of high-quality bamboo shoots with great characteristics among various edible bamboo shoots in China.They have unique flavor,bitterness but with sweetness aftertaste,and various physiological activities such as antioxidation,anti-inflammation,anti-tumor,hypoglycemic effect,etc.,which are a kind of health vegetable widely loved by consumers.In this paper,the main physiological active substances in Pleioblastus amarus shoots are summarized and reviewed,including protein,amino acids,polyphenols,alkaloids,polysaccharides,sterols,dietary fiber,etc.,and their potential functional activities are emphatically discussed.The research progress and results of physiological active substances in Pleioblastus amarus shoots at home and abroad in recent years are summarized,in order to provide theoretical guidance for the study on physiological activities of Pleioblastus amarus shoots and the development of related functional foods.
