Abstract: Abstract: As a green forest vegetable with high fiber, high protein, low fat and low sugar, bamboo shoots are becoming more and more popular. However, the harvesting season of bamboo shoots is concentrated and the metabolism is vigorous after harvesting, which makes them be very easy to rot and age in the process of transportation and storage, and their nutritional and commercial values are greatly reduced. In order to promote the sustainable development of bamboo shoots industry in China, there is an urgent need to enhance the research on the physiology, biochemistry, storage and preservation of bamboo shoots after harvest. This paper describes the postharvest physiological and biochemical changes of bamboo shoots in terms of their appearance and quality, respiration, transpiration and lignification, and provides a detailed review of the applications of different preservation methods (traditional preservation, physical preservation, chemical preservation and biological preservation) to bamboo shoots storage and preservation at home and abroad, which will provide reference for developing new storage technology based on physiological and biochemical changes of bamboo shoots after harvest .

Key words: Keywords: Bamboo shoots, postharvest physiology, Preservation technology
