Abstract In presented study, the effects of subcritical water (SW) and high pressure homogenization (HPH) treatments on the physicochemical and structural characteristics of dietary fibers (DFs) from bamboo shoots (Phyllostachys praecox f. Prevernalis) were investigated. The soluble dietary fiber (SDF) content was dramatically increased in SW and HPH treated DFs. Compared with HPH, SW modification enhanced higher physicochemical properties including water holding capacity (WHC), oil holding capacity (OHC) and swelling capacity (SC) of DFs. The abilities of DFs to absorb cholesterol and nitrite ions were both greatly increased after treatments. The results of Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the structure of DFs were changed by SW and HPH. In conclusion, SW treatment showed better effects on improvement of physicochemical properties of bamboo shoot DFs than that of HPH, and the modified DFs could be a potential new functional foods or food additives.

Introduction Bamboos are widely wild-growing or cultivated plants around the world. China is the largest producer and own hundreds species of bamboos (He et al. 2014). Bamboo shoots are young bamboo plants which are favored by a lot of consumers for their delicious taste and high nutritional value (Choudhury et al. 2012). Bamboo shoots could be served as a new source of high-quality dietary fiber (DF) with their high content of cellulose. DFs has long been considered as the seventh main nutriment for human, and it was confirmed by recent epidemiological studies that DFs could reduce the incidence of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, colon cancer (Tayyem et al. 2017). DF also has excellent capacities of water/oil holding, swelling, and adsorption (Zhou et al. 2018). It is often used as a food additive, and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) was more effective than insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) to benefit human health (McRorie and
