“…Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Fusarum oxyporum. Dichloromethane extracts prepared from bamboo shoot skins of moso bamboo Phyllostachys pubescens have been reported to have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (Tanaka et al, 2011). Moso bamboo shoot skins have been traditionally used as a preservative to maintain the taste of tea in China and as a packaging material for rice balls and meat in Japan.…”

“…These ancient medical practices were not given much importance due to lack of scientific evidences. Recent studies on the medicinal properties of bamboo leaves and bamboo shoot skin have shown antioxidant, anticancer and antibiotic properties (Tanaka et al ., , ). The nutritive value of bamboo shoots has been documented by several workers (Kumbhare & Bhargava, ; Nirmala et al ., , , ).…”

Summary Juvenile bamboo shoots have long been used as food and in traditional medicine in many Asian countries, but scientific evidences of its health benefits have been highlighted recently. According to ancient Chinese medicinal books, the consumption of young shoots helps in improving digestion, relieving hypertension, sweating, preventing cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The young shoots are delicious and rich in nutrient components such as proteins, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins and bioactive compounds. The health benefits of the young shoots are attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds mainly phenols, phytosterols and dietary fibres, which play a potential role in health promotion and providing protection against many chronic and degenerative diseases. Phenolic compounds in bamboos have multiple biological effects such as antioxidation, anti‐ageing, antifatigue, antimicrobial and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Dietary fibres and phytosterols have a beneficial effect on lipid profile and bowel function and reduce total serum cholesterol and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol level. This study discusses the bioactive compounds in bamboo shoots and how, due to its nutritive value and health benefits, the shoots can be utilised as an ingredient in the development of functional foods.

In recent years, there is increasing consumption and interest in berry fruits in general and blueberries in particular due to their nutritional and health characteristics. However, blueberries are highly susceptible to microbial contamination and loss of product quality. In this study, the effects of postharvest washing treatment and cold storage (15 days) on the quality of blueberries were examined. The blueberries were treated with mineral water, aqueous chlorine dioxide, electrolyzed water and Berry Very®, a new commercial product. During the storage, physicochemical and microbiological analysis were carried out in order to compare the efficacy of treatments. The results indicated that chlorine dioxide treatment and electrolyzed water had a positive effect on the reduction of yeast and mold proliferation, postharvest decay and weight loss.

“…The antiplasmodial activity of the plant extract reported in this study may be due to interactions between one or more group of the phytochemicals present in the extract. Several class of phytochemicals have been described in the field of antiplasmodials such as terpenoids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds including flavonoids and quinones (Oliveira et al, 2009;Adeleke et al, 2014;Tonukari et al, 2015;Aganbi et al, 2017;Vats et al, 2011;Tanaka et al, 2011). Donno et al (2012) who reported on the antimalarial activity of Artemisia annua herbal tea and artemisinin.…”

ABSTRACT:The exploration of natural products for the treatment of malarial has been the main focus of scientists in the past decades. In this research, the phytochemical constituents, antimalarial effect, and chemopreventive capacity of aqueous leaf extract of Bambusa vulgaris in malaria parasitized mice was investigated. A total of 30 male mice, grouped into six (n=5), was used. The results obtained showed that B. vulgaris is rich in flavonoid (262.08 µg CE/g) and phenol (0.91 g AAE/ 100 g). There was significant reduction on the activities of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Gamma glutarmyl-transferase (GGT) upon treatment as compared with the control groups (P<0.05). Concentration of total bilirubin (TB), direct bilirubin (DB) and serum electrolytes (sodium, calcium, phosphorus and chloride) decreased in treated groups; serum urea, creatinine and uric acid also reduced significantly as against the control groups (P<0.05). The hepatoprotection and renal function restoration observed upon the administration of the plant extract indicate to a far reaching end that B. vulgaris leaf extract would be a promising natural antimalarial product devoid of side effects upon use, especially when administered within the dose range of 100 -200 mg/Kg body weight investigated in this study.
