Progress on application of secondary metabolites from bamboo in controlling diseases and keeping freshness of fruits and vegetables

China ranks the first in both yield and cultivation areas for fresh fruits and vegetables in the world, but quality deterioration and post-harvest decay of fresh fruits and vegetables still lead to tremendous economic loss nowadays. Bamboo is one of the major forest resources widely used worldwide....

description China ranks the first in both yield and cultivation areas for fresh fruits and vegetables in the world, but quality deterioration and post-harvest decay of fresh fruits and vegetables still lead to tremendous economic loss nowadays. Bamboo is one of the major forest resources widely used worldwide. However, plenty of bamboo resources are wasted due to various reasons. Bamboo is abundant in secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, phenolic substances, bioactive polysaccharides, amino acids and other functional substances, and thus it is crucial for reducing the waste of bamboo resources to utilize fully secondary metabolites from bamboo and improve the utilization values of bamboo remains. Currently, accumulating results have shown that many secondary metabolites in fresh bamboo can be used as effective biological freshness-keeping resources for fruits and vegetables to improve antimicrobial and antioxidative activities. In the present study, we perform a review on current utilization status of bamboo resources and categories for secondary metabolites in bamboo, and place additional emphasis on the application of secondary metabolites in disease control and freshness-keeping of fruits and vegetables at post-harvest stage.
