Clump thinning intensity increased the diameter of the remaining bamboo clump but reduced the number of shoots, as well as internode length and overall height.

Choline chloride and proline were utilized as hydrogen bond acceptors in a total of eight deep eutectic solvents, whereas glucose, sucrose, glycerol, ethylene glycol, acetylpropionic acid, malic acid, and lactic acid were used as hydrogen bond donors. This work examined the protein extraction from bamboo shoots using deep eutectic solvents. Single-factor experiments were conducted to determine the optimal composition of the deep eutectic solvents, along with the ideal gradients of material-liquid ratio gradients, water content, extraction time, and water bath temperature. The impact and interplay of various variables on the protein extraction rate of bamboo shoots were examined using the Box-Behnken Design and Response Surface Methodology. Both the water bath temperature and the extraction time significantly influenced the protein extraction rate of bamboo shoots. Notably, the interaction between extraction time and water bath temperature had the most substantial effect on the protein extraction rate of bamboo shoots. The quadratic response surface regression equation for the protein extraction rate of bamboo shoots relative to the actual values of each factor was obtained as follows: Protein extraction rate = −193.3275 + 3.8395 A - 18.7075 B + 6.3285 C + 0.2125 AB - 0.0089 AC + 0.024 BC - 0.02885 A² + 0.685 B² - 0.06455 C². Finally, this work predicted optimum extraction parameters for bamboo shoots with choline chloride-sucrose (molar ratio 1:2), a material-liquid ratio of 1:50, a water content of 74 %, an extraction time of 4 h, and a water bath temperature of 44 ℃. Under the optimal conditions, the protein extraction yield was 59.39±0.45 %, which aligned with the predicted value from the response surface fitting equation. This indicated that the optimised regression equation may have practical significance. Compared with conventional extraction using a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, deep eutectic solvents extraction of bamboo shoots is more environmentally friendly, non-toxic and harmless.

As a voluntary market-driven mechanism, sustainable forest management certification aims to reduce illegal logging in forests and promote sustainable management practices by creating a transparent, independent tracing and auditing mechanism. To date, around 11% of global forest areas have been certified under forest certification schemes. Biologically, bamboo belongs to the grass family and is classified as a non-timber forest product. Owing to its high fibre quality, many bamboo panel-based products, such as flooring, furniture, and kitchenware, are traded as alternatives to timber products in the global market. Forest certification is widely acknowledged as a means of ensuring the sustainability and legality of forest sources by European countries and the United States, which are the largest importers of bamboo products. Therefore, certified bamboo and its products are often required to meet the legal requirements and public procurement policies when entering these markets. Currently, 48 valid Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) bamboo forest management certificates and 3237 valid bamboo FSC Chain of Custody (CoC) certificates have been issued, while only 1 bamboo forest management and 3 bamboo CoC certificates have been documented in PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) online database.

Natural bamboo fibres possess have characteristics that make them of potential use in textiles. However, they have not received the attention they deserve due to the difficulty of extracting finer fibres. Full utilization of the potential of bamboo requires the extraction of the fibres using advanced techniques. In this study, three different extraction methods were developed, utilizing a newly created composite enzyme and alkalis in combination to extract finer natural bamboo fibres. The new enzyme was applied in both a solid form and a liquid state. Mechanical processes were also employed in preparing the bamboo culms and extracting the fibres. Three commonly grown bamboo species, Bambusa emeiensis (Neosinocalamus affinis), Phyllostachys edulis (Phyllostachys heterocycla), and Phyllostachys reticulata (Phyllostachys bambusoides), were used in the study to extract natural bamboo fibres. The bamboo samples were treated with 3–6% alkali and 24–36% composite enzyme, based on their weight. The composite enzyme was a recently developed enzyme that was used in both a liquid form and a solid form without the need for water as a solvent (non-aqueous treatment). The physical properties such as moisture content, length and fineness, and mechanical (tensile) properties such as breaking tenacity, breaking load and breaking extension of the resulting fibres were assessed with their minimum, maximum and average values. Structural analyses were performed using infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analyzer (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The yield percentages of bamboo fibres were also determined. The bamboo fibres had a moisture content of 7.32–7.71%, an average length of 5.48–6.01 cm, a linear density of 9.71–11.43 tex, a breaking load of 138.96–147.67 cN, a breaking tenacity of 12.16–15.21 cN/tex, and a breaking elongation of 2.60–2.75%. SEM, TGA and FTIR tests indicated that the fibres were not single cellulosic fibres but rather fibre bundles in which single fibres were bonded by lignin and hemicellulose. The TGA results showed that the fibres were sufficiently thermally stable to withstand high temperature textile processes. The XRD results indicated the improvement of the crystallinity of the natural bamboo fibres owing to the partial removal of the non-crystalline lignin and other components. The measured properties of the fibres showed standard deviation values of 0.36–2.52, indicating a high level of uniformity within each sample. The experimental results demonstrated that the fibres obtained in this study have the potential to be used in textiles.
