Combined use of steam explosion, alkali, and microbial methods improving the yield, structure and properties of soluble dietary fiber from bamboo shoot shells.

Developing an effective method for extracting soluble dietary fiber (SDF) from bamboo shoot shell (BSS) is of great significance for the resource utilization of BSS. Here, we proposed the combinational strategy of steam explosion (SE), alkaline extraction (AE), and microbial extraction (ME) to enhance BSS-SDF yield. The highest yield of 28.
