Effects of Lactic Acid Bacteria Fermentation on the Release and Biotransformation of Bound Phenolics in Ma Bamboo Shoots (Dendrocalamus latiflorus Munro)

Lactic acid bacteria fermentation has the potential to enhance the biological activity of bamboo shoot polyphenols. The aim of this study was to investigate the release pattern and biotransformation mechanism of bound phenols from bamboo shoots prepared by fer- mentation with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and Lactobacillus plantarum. The results showed that compared with unfermented controls, bound forms of vanillic acid, p-coumaric acid, and ferulic acid significantly...
