A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF DEHYDRATED BAMBOO SHOOTS WITH IMPROVED RECONSTITUTION

摘要

The dehydrated bamboo shoots prepared after removal of sheath and subjecting to boiling and pre-treatments made the product free from hydro cyanic acid and improved the reconstitution. The pre-treatments helped in better reconstitution of the dried shoot by three folds compared to the untreated dried shoots. The product was acceptable even after 6 months of storage when packed in metallised polyester/polyethylene unit packs at ambient storage conditions.
