Bamboo shoot shells, as processing by-products, contain high level of polyphenols which have not been utilized. This study developed and optimized an efficient and sustainable extraction method using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) coupled with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) for the first time to recover polyphenols from <em>Chimonobambusa purpurea</em> shoot shells (CNSS). Six DES systems were initially screened based on polyphenol yield, with choline chloride–glycerol showing the best performance. Key extraction variables, including DES water content, solid-to-liquid ratio, ultrasonic temperature and extraction time, were examined. Optimal extraction conditions (solid-to-liquid ratio 1:39 g/mL, 20% DES water content, 43 °C, and 45 min) yielded 9.24 ±0.22 mg/g of polyphenols, closely aligning with the model-predicted value (9.37 ± 0.32 mg/g). Compared to ethanol extraction (4.54 ± 0.22 mg/g), the DES method improved yield by 103%. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays, yielding IC₅₀ values of 1.78 mg/mL and 1.54 mg/mL, respectively. These results demonstrate the potential of this green extraction strategy to recover bamboo polyphenols efficiently and to promote the high-value utilization of bamboo shoot shells in functional food and nutraceutical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100040,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Bamboo Science","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100239"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147849850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bamboo (Poaceae) leaves have emerged as a promising alternative due to their year-round availability, compositional variability, and functional bioactive properties. This systematic review evaluates the nutritional composition, phytochemical profile, extraction of bioactive compounds, and the effects of bamboo leaf supplementation on feed intake, growth performance, and health in livestock and poultry, following PRISMA guidelines for studies published between 1990 and 2024. Bamboo leaves exhibit substantial variation in composition, with crude protein ranging from 2.2 to 24.7% and crude fibre from 7.0 to 46.0%. Fibre fractions include neutral detergent fibre (36.9–79.3%), acid detergent fibre (28.6–55.1%), and acid detergent lignin (0.05–15.2%), alongside ether extract (0.9–15.3%) and carbohydrate content (19.7–55.8%), indicating moderate energy contribution. They also provide essential minerals and vitamins, including vitamin E. In addition to their nutritive value, bamboo leaves are rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, eugenol, cedrol, and phytol, which contribute to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The recovery of these compounds is influenced by extraction techniques, with Soxhlet extraction using methanol consistently yielding higher phytochemical concentrations. Feeding studies consistently demonstrate that bamboo leaf supplementation improves feed intake, growth performance, and feed efficiency in poultry systems, largely due to enhanced gut function, antioxidant capacity, and metabolic efficiency. In contrast, responses in ruminants are more variable, depending on species, fibre composition, and the presence of anti-nutritional factors, which influence digestibility and overall productivity. In dairy cattle, supplementation has been associated with improved milk yield and quality, particularly under heat stress conditions. However, variability in nutrient composition, anti-nutritional factors, and species-specific responses highlights the need for further research. Standardised analytical approaches and advanced tools such as genomics and metabolomics are required to optimise the utilisation of bamboo as a sustainable and functional feed resource for livestock and poultry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100040,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Bamboo Science","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100244"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148184269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We elucidate the dominant adsorption mechanisms, H-bonding, electrostatic attraction, and π- π interaction between biochar and ECs.

Furthermore, the regeneration performance of bamboo biochar retains 90% of the adsorption capacity for five consecutive cycles using either thermal or solvent regeneration systems. Therefore, bamboo biochar represents a versatile and sustainable material with tunable properties enabling efficient removal of the ECs.

Our research characterized the mechanical properties of a native Mexican bamboo species (<em>Otatea fimbriata</em>) as a function of its strength, both for normal and bending stress and relating them to their corresponding strain. Data obtained from experimental testing were processed and analysed in accordance with the provisions of ISO 22157:2019 for bamboo structures. The normal strength (in compression) parallel to the fibre and the bending strength parallel to the fibre, as well as the values of the modulus of elasticity and flexural modulus, all of which are essential parameters for the structural design of bamboo-based constructions, were determined. Due to technological and financial constraints, an equation was developed to determine the bending strength of small diameter bamboo culms with low external diameter/thickness ratios, based on data obtained from three-point bending tests. Based on the results, <em>Otatea fimbriata</em> exhibits brittle behaviour in the direction parallel to the fibre and ductile behaviour in the perpendicular direction.

Fabrics were dyed with CI Reactive Black 5 at 50 °C, 60 °C and 70 °C, and evaluated for colour performance, mechanical properties and environmental impact. The key finding was that a dyeing temperature of 60°C delivered the optimal balance for all fabrics, maximizing colour yield (K/S) and dye fixation while minimizing fibre damage and environmental effluent load. The 70/30 cotton-bamboo blend emerged as a superior sustainable alternative, outperforming pure cotton with an 8–10 % higher colour yield, 25–35 % greater water absorbency and significantly reduced shrinkage. Furthermore, the blend demonstrated a substantial environmental advantage, reducing wastewater Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) by 20–25 % and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) by 10–15 % compared to pure cotton.
