Research Advances on Post-harvest Physiology and Preservation of Bamboo Shoots
As a specialty forest food with rich fiber,protein but little fat,bamboo shoots well meet the healthy dietary requirements of modern consumers.However,the harvesting season of bamboo shoots is short,during which there are a large number of bamboo shoots supplied in the market.In addition,the post-harvest metabolism of bamboo shoots is vigorous,bringing much trouble in fresh bamboo shoots storage,which has greatly affected the nutritional and commercial values of bamboo shoots.In order to further reduce the post-harvest loss of bamboo shoots and improve their utilization efficiency,this paper described the post-harvest physiological changes of bamboo shoots and the current status of researches on the storage and preservation technology,and proposed prospects for future research directions,aiming to provide new ideas for the study on the storage and preservation technology of bamboo shoots.
