Abstract

Unconventional, neglected, and underutilized plants are generally a rich source of nutrients and health-promoting bioactive compounds with preventive effects against malnutrition and some chronic diseases. Bamboo shoot, a neglected food item is a storehouse of nutrients and has also a vast array of primary and secondary metabolites such as phenols, phytosterols, saponins, terpenes, tannins, coumarins, flavonoids, and more. These compounds vary widely in their chemical structure and functions. Phenols, phytosterols, and dietary fiber are the major secondary metabolites present in shoots. Phenolic compounds, along with their subcategory flavonoids, are responsible for antioxidant properties of bamboo shoot. The major phenolic compounds identified in shoots are ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, catechin, syringic acid, and chlorogenic acid while major sterols are β-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, cholesterol, ergosterol, and stigmastanol. It has been reported that phytosterols have potential antihyperlipidemic and anticarcinogenic properties. Anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, neuroprotective, anticoagulant, and sedative properties are the most important biological activities reported for tannins, coumarins, and saponins. Bamboo shoot is also associated with a significant reduction in blood pressure and protects the body from coronary heart diseases owing to dietary fiber. Bamboo shoots are a rich repository of bioactive compounds, which may be effectively used for the production of functional foods and steroidal drugs.
