| Abstract: | Dried-fermented,
fermented-canned and fermented-sliced bamboo shoots form a customary grace of
different cookeries of the South-East Asian countries. Bamboo shoots are high
moisture product, low in fat, cholesterol and high in carbohydrates and dietary
fibers. Many nutrients and active materials can be extracted from them. Hence,
bamboo shoots are more valuable in pharmaceutical and food processing
industries, and can be processed into different beverages, medicines, additives
and health foods. The production of bamboo shoots is however, very seasonal and
processing of bamboo shoots into various fermented products is too rudimentary,
unorganized, non-standardized, region specific and lacks quality control over
the final products. There is hardly any product that has created their way into
the national and international markets, which is due to the lack of
technological advancement in the field of bamboo shoot processing. In this
article, the quality attributes of bamboo shoot, its biochemistry and
microbiology with note on various traditional fermented food items has been
well documented. It is expected that, further study on these aspects help to
promote establishment of a bamboo shoot based processing units and will boost
the socio-economic and cultural status of the people, along with preservation
of the diverse dietary cultures of various ethnic tribes of the country. |
