RESUMEN
Concerns about food safety and environmental impact from chemical surfactants have prompted interest in natural lignocellulosic materials as alternatives. In this study, we combined hydrated deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment with ultrasound treatment to prepare lignocellulosic nanofibrils (LCNF) from bamboo shoot shells with appropriate surface properties for stabilizing Pickering emulsions. The pretreatment intensity effectively modulated the surface characteristics of LCNF, achieving desirable wettability through lignin retention and in-situ esterification. The resulting LCNF/curcumin Pickering emulsion (CPE) demonstrated curcumin protection and pH-responsive color changes, while the ensuing CPE/PVA composite film exhibited ultraviolet shielding, mechanical strength, oxygen barrier, and antioxidant properties. Furthermore, the CPE/PVA film showed promise as a real-time indicator for monitoring shrimp freshness, maintaining sensitivity to spoilage even after six months of storage. These findings advance the advancement of green LCNF technologies, providing eco-friendly solutions for valorizing bamboo shoot shells and enhancing the application of LCNF in Pickering emulsions.

Reckoning with the global environmental challenge of plastic pollution, particularly in terms of recycling and biodegradation of thermosetting plastics, sustainable alternatives are imperative. The rapidly growing and eco-friendly material bamboo has great potential as a sustainable resource; however, it lacks the inherent self-bonding and plasticity characteristics found in plastics. This study presents a feasible approach to enhance the plasticity of bamboo by selectively removing part of its lignin and disrupting the crystalline structure of cellulose. Concurrently, this process selectively transforms hydroxyl groups into highly reactive dialdehyde groups to increase the reactivity of bamboo. The resulting activated bamboo units undergo a hot-pressing process to transform them into a type of thermosetting plastic (ABTP). The ABTP is highly moldable, and its color can be precisely regulated by adjusting the lignin content. Additionally, it exhibits exceptional solvent and water resistance, along with notable mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of 50 MPa, flexural strength of 80 MPa, flexural modulus of 5 GPa, and Shore D hardness approaching 90. Furthermore, the bamboo-derived plastic exhibits exceptional reusability and biodegradability, presenting feasible and environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional plastics while harnessing the sustainable development potential of bamboo.

Utilizing carbonic anhydrase (CA) to catalyze CO2 hydration offers a sustainable and potent approach for carbon capture and utilization. To enhance CA's reusability and stability for successful industrial applications, enzyme immobilization is essential. In this study, delignified bamboo cellulose served as a renewable porous scaffold for immobilizing CA through oxidation-induced cellulose aldehydation followed by Schiff base linkage. The catalytic performance of the resulting immobilized CA was evaluated using both p-NPA hydrolysis and CO2 hydration models. Compared to free CA, immobilization onto the bamboo scaffold increased CA's optimal temperature and pH to approximately 45 °C and 9.0, respectively. Post-immobilization, CA activity demonstrated effective retention (>60 %), with larger scaffold sizes (i.e., 8 mm diameter and 5 mm height) positively impacting this aspect, even surpassing the activity of free CA. Furthermore, immobilized CA exhibited sustained reusability and high stability under thermal treatment and pH fluctuation, retaining >80 % activity even after 5 catalytic cycles. When introduced to microalgae culture, the immobilized CA improved biomass production by â¼16 %, accompanied by enhanced synthesis of essential biomolecules in microalgae. Collectively, the facile and green construction of immobilized CA onto bamboo cellulose block demonstrates great potential for the development of various CA-catalyzed CO2 conversion and utilization technologies.

The research interest in sustainable and eco-friendly materials based on natural sources has increased dramatically due to their recyclability, biodegradability, compatibility, and nontoxic behavior. Recently, nanocellulose-based green composites are under extensive exploration and have gained popularity among researchers owing to their lightweight, lost cost, low density, excellent mechanical and physical characteristics. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in the extraction, modification, and application of bamboo nanocellulose as a high-performance bioadsorbent. Bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource, offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials due to its abundant availability and unique structural properties. Significantly, bamboo comprises a considerable amount of cellulose, approximately 40 % to 50%, rendering it a valuable source of cellulose fiber for the fabrication of cellulose nanocrystals. The review highlights different various modification techniques which enhance the adsorption capacities and selectivity of bamboo nanocellulose. Furthermore, the integration of bamboo nanocellulose into novel composite materials and its performance in removing contaminants such as heavy metals, dyes, and organic pollutants from wastewater are critically analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of adsorption, regeneration potential, and the economic and environmental benefits of using bamboo-based bioadsorbents. The findings underscore the potential of bamboo nanocellulose to play a pivotal role in developing sustainable wastewater treatment technologies, offering a promising pathway towards cleaner water and a greener future.

Transparent bamboo proved to be a promising substitute for glass due to its high light transmittance and excellent mechanical properties. Nevertheless, it was susceptible to outdoor weathering, which negatively affected its physical and mechanical properties. In this study, two decolorisation methods, namely the delignification method and the lignin modification method, were used to produce transparent bamboos with epoxy resin, referred to as DL-TB and LM-TB, respectively. The changes in surface color, optical and mechanical properties, wettability, thermal stability, and thermal insulation properties of transparent bamboo during accelerated UV weathering were evaluated. Additionally, the deterioration mechanism of DL-TB and LM-TB was investigated. The findings revealed that DL-TB demonstrated better transparency and mechanical properties than LM-TB, although it exhibited lower thermal insulation properties. Furthermore, DL-TB demonstrated enhanced color stability and higher hydrophobicity on weathered surfaces than LM-TB. Unexpectedly, the tensile properties of both two transparent bamboos significantly improved after weathering, especially for LM-TB, which was due to the EP post-curing and the formation of more hydrogen bonds between lignin and EP. These observations revealed that lignin played a key role in the photodegradation process of transparent bamboo, but further attempts should be made in future studies to improve its color stability.

Biochar is commonly utilized as an electrode material in supercapacitors. However, the conventional carbonization process often results in macromolecular compounds, which obstruct the porous structure of carbon materials, thereby reducing their capacitance. Dielectric barrier discharge low-temperature plasma (DLTP) is a technology that transforms gases into highly excited states, utilizing high-energy particles for enhanced energy applications. This study investigated the effects of DLTP on the electrochemical performance of bamboo charcoal (BC), utilizing bamboo shavings (BS) as the carbon source. The results indicated that the specific capacitance of BC varied under different atmospheric conditions, input voltages, and treatment durations, thereby achieving a maximum increase of 144 F/g. Furthermore, when combined with KOH activation, DLTP modification further enhanced the specific capacitance of BC to 237 F/g. The DLTP treatment enhanced the specific surface area and the types of functional groups in BC, thereby leading to a significant enhancement of its electrochemical properties.

Fiber-reinforced biocomposites were widely considered as the optimal sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based polymers due to their renewable, degradable, and environmentally friendly characteristics, along with economic benefits. However, the poor interfacial bonding between the matrix and natural fiber reinforcement remained a key issue limiting their mechanical and thermal properties. Focusing on cost-effective, convenient, and low-pollution chemical methods, this work proposed a strategy for in-situ synthesis of composite structures on bamboo fiber (BF) surfaces. Crude chitosan (CS) and reclaimed tannic acid (TA) were utilized as the raw materials, to construct stereo-netlike chitosan @ tannin structures (CS@TA) via a one-pot method facilitated by hydrogen bonding and complexation. The influence of reactant concentration and pH value on the process was further investigated and optimized. The CS@TA structure improved the interfacial bonding between the BF reinforcement and matrix poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), and this non-amino-driven construction provided a potential reaction platform for functionalizing the interfacial layer. The modified biocomposite showed improvements in tensile and impact strengths (51.58 %, 41.18 %), also in tensile and flexural moduli (13.59 %, 26.88 %). Enhancements were also observed in thermal properties and heat capacity. This work presents a simple and promising approach to increase biocomposite interface bonding.

The swift evolution of fifth-generation technology has intensified the need for lightweight, high-efficiency, and low-reflection multifunctional electromagnetic interference shielding materials, crucial in combating escalating electromagnetic pollution in complex application environments. To tackle these challenges, an innovative solution has emerged: a biocomposite crafted from discarded bamboo materials. This innovation incorporates a meticulously engineered functional coating composed of tannic acid, boric acid, and polyvinyl alcohol. Additionally, the integration of highly conductive Ti3C2Tx (MXene) nanosheets onto the surface of bamboo powders enhances the EMI shielding efficiency of composites, achieving an impressive â¼40.9 dB. Meanwhile, significant improvements in mechanical reinforcement have been achieved, along with increases in the relative values of key performance indicators: tensile strength (89.8 %), tensile modulus (79.6 %), flexural strength (51.6 %), flexural modulus (35.1 %), and impact strength (45.4 %). Furthermore, the introduction of functional components grants the composite exceptional flame retardancy and antibacterial properties against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Beyond these strides, the utilization of bamboo waste as a composite pioneer a paradigm shift in waste utilization, converting refuse into invaluable resources.

Softness is a crucial criterion in assessing the comfort and usability of tissue paper. Flexible fibers contribute to the softness of the tissue paper by allowing the sheets to conform to the contours of the skin without feeling rough or abrasive. This study focuses on developing innovative CGG/APAM/PDA hydrogels with interpenetrating networks consisting of cationic guar gum, anionic polyacrylamide, and polydopamine for cellulase immobilization, aimed at improving bamboo fiber flexibility. Cellulase biomolecules are efficiently immobilized on CGG/APAM/PDA hydrogels through the Schiff base reaction. Immobilized cellulases have a wider pH applicability than free cellulases, good storage stability, and can maintain high relative activity at relatively high temperatures. The treatment of bamboo fibers with immobilized cellulase results in a significant increase in flexibility, reaching 6.90 × 1014 N·m2, which is 7.18 times higher than that of untreated fibers. The immobilization of cellulases using CGG/APAM/PDA hydrogels as carriers results in a substantial enhancement of storage stability, pH applicability, and inter-fiber bonding strength, as well as the capacity to sustain high relative enzymatic activity at elevated temperatures. The immobilization of cellulase within CGG/APAM/PDA interpenetrating network hydrogels presents a viable strategy for enhancing bamboo fiber flexibility, thereby expanding the accessibility of tissue products.

The poor interfacial compatibility of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites has become a major challenge in the development of industry-standard high-performance composites. To solve this problem, this study constructs a novel rigid-flexible balanced molecular crosslinked network transition interface in composites. The interface improves the interfacial compatibility of the composites by balancing the stiffness and strength of the fibers and the matrixï¼ effectively improving the properties of the composites. The flexural strength and flexural modulus of the composites were enhanced by 38 % and 44 %, respectively. Water absorption decreased by 30 %. The initial and maximum thermal degradation temperatures increased by 20 °C and 16 °C, respectively. The maximum storage modulus increased by 316 %. Furthermore, the impact toughness was elevated by 41 %, attributed to the crosslinked network's efficacy in absorbing and dissipating externally applied energy. This innovative approach introduces a new theory of interfacial reinforcement compatibility, advancing the development of high-performance and sustainable biocomposites.

This study examined the effects of replacing alkaline phosphate (AP) with bamboo fiber (BF), isolated pea protein (PP), and mushroom powder (MP) on the nutritional, technological, oxidative, and sensory characteristics of low-sodium mortadellas. Results indicated that this reformulation maintained the nutritional quality of the products. Natural substitutes were more effective than AP in reducing water and fat exudation. This led to decreased texture profile analysis (TPA) values such as hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness. The reformulation reduced the L* values and increased the b* values, leading to color modifications rated from noticeable to appreciable according to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) index. Despite minor changes in oxidative stability indicated by increased values in TBARS (from 0.19 to 0.33 mg MDA/kg), carbonyls (from 2.1 to 4.4 nmol carbonyl/mg protein), and the volatile compound profile, the sensory profile revealed a beneficial increase in salty taste, especially due to the inclusion of MP, which was enhanced by the synergy with BF and PP. In summary, the results confirmed the potential of natural alternatives to replace chemical additives in meat products. Incorporating natural antioxidants into future formulations could address the minor oxidation issues observed and enhance the applicability of this reformulation strategy.

Scalable and highly efficient bamboo whitening remains a great challenge. Herein, an effective bamboo whitening strategy is proposed based on photocatalyzed oxidation, which involves H2O2 infiltration and UV illumination. The as-prepared white bamboo well maintains the nature structure of natural bamboo and demonstrates high whiteness and superior mechanical properties. The absorbance value is significantly decreased to 3.5 and the transmittance is increased to 0.04 % in UV-visible wavelength range due to the removal of light-absorbing chromospheres of lignin, resulting in a high whiteness when the UV illumination time is 8 h. In addition, the white bamboo displays a high tensile strength of 30 MPa and a high flexural strength of 36 MPa due to the well-preserved lignin units (lignin preservation is about 89 %). XRD patterns and analysis show that photocatalyzed oxidation has no effect on the crystal parameters of cellulose. Compared with the traditional bamboo whitening technology, our photocatalyzed oxidation strategy demonstrates significant advantage including chemical and time conservation, high efficiency, environment friendliness, and mechanical robustness. This highly efficient and environmentally friendly photocatalyzed oxidation strategy for the fabrication of white bamboo may pave the way of bamboo-based energy-efficient structural materials for engineering application.

Bamboo has a functionally-graded microstructure that endows it with a combination of desirable properties, such as high failure strain, high toughness, and a low density. As a result, bamboo has been widely used in load-bearing structures. In this work, we study the use of bamboo-inspired void patterns to geometrically improve the failure properties of structures made from brittle polymers. We perform finite element analysis and experiments on 3D-printed structures to quantify the effect of the shape and spatial distribution of voids on the fracture behavior. The introduction of periodic, uniformly distributed voids in notched bend specimens leads to a 15-fold increase in the fracture energy relative to solid specimens. Adding a gradient to the pattern of voids leads to a cumulative 55-fold improvement in the fracture energy. Mechanistically, the individual voids result in crack blunting, which suppresses crack initiation, while neighboring voids redistribute stresses throughout the sample to enable large deformation before failure.

In this manuscript, three components of lignocellulosic biomass were obtained by deconstructing bamboo with γ-valerolactone-H2O biphasic system, and the delignification rate of 80.92 % was achieved at 120 °C for 90 min. Lignin nanospheres with diameters ranging from 75 nm to 2 um could be customized by varying the self-assembly rate. Furthermore, the lignin nanospheres-poly(vinyl alcohol) film was prepared by cross-linking lignin nanospheres and poly(vinyl alcohol), which can obtain 90 % ultraviolet absorption capacity, while the light transmittance in non-ultraviolet band was almost unchanged. At the same time, due to the strong hydrogen formation between lignin nanospheres and poly(vinyl alcohol) bond network, the tensile properties of the composite film were also improved by 30 %. Besides, the high specific surface area of biomass-derived porous biochar (2056 m2/g) can be obtained after carbonization of solid residues at 850 °C for 2 h, which was almost 8 times the specific surface area of the direct biomass carbonization due to the removal of lignin and hemicellulose. biomass-derived porous biochar can be used as an adsorbent, with a CO2 capture capacity of 4.5 mmol g-1 at normal temperature (25 °C, 1 bar). The filtrate after the reaction contained a large amount of hemicellulose oligomers, which can be reacted with dichloromethane at 170 °C for 1 h to obtain the furfural yield of 74 %. In summary, the proposed biorefinery scheme achieves a full-component upgrade of lignocellulose and can be further applied in various downstream fields.

Bioaugmentation retting with the specialized pectinolytic and xylanolytic microorganisms can accelerate the removal of non-cellulosic macromolecules around plant fibers, thus shortening retting time and facilitating fiber quality. Currently, few specialized microorganisms have been explored for the retting of sisal fibers. The present study excavated the retting fungi including Aspergillus micronesiensis HD 3-6, Penicillium citrinum HD 3-12-3, and Cladosporium sp. HD 4-13 from the region-specific soil samples of planting sisal, and investigated their bioaugmentation retting effects on raw sisal leaves. Results showed that combination of the three fungi achieved the most excellent degumming efficiency (13.69 % of residual gum in sisal fibers) and the highest fiber yield (4.47 %). Furthermore, this fungi combination had the ideal enzymatic hydrolysis features with high activities of pectinase, xylanase and mannanase whereas a low activity of cellulase during the whole retting process, thus endowing the prepared sisal fibers with the lowest mass percentage of non-cellulosic macromolecules (9.76 wt%) and the highest cellulose content (89.23 wt%). SEM and FT-IR analysis further verified that the non-cellulosic substances around sisal fibers were efficiently removed. In summary, the consortia of the three fungi achieved ideal degumming-related enzymes for the removal of non-cellulosic macromolecules, thus acquiring the efficient preparation of sisal fibers.

Biomass recalcitrance, a key challenge in biomass utilization, is closely linked to the architectural composition and cross-linkages of molecules within cell walls. With three bamboo species investigated, this study aims to elucidate the inherent molecular-scale structural differences between bamboo fibers and parenchyma cells through a systematic chemical extraction and structural characterization of isolated hemicelluloses, lignin, and lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCC). We observed that parenchyma cells exhibit superior alkaline extractability compared to fibers. Additionally, we identified the hemicelluloses in parenchyma cells as L-arabino-4-O-methyl-D-glucurono-D-xylan, displaying a highly branched structure, while that in fibers is L-arabino-D-xylan. Furthermore, the parenchyma cell lignin exhibited a higher syringyl-to-guaiacyl (S/G) ratio and ß-O-4 linkage content compared to fibers, whereas fibers contain more carboncarbon linkages including ß-ß, ß-5, and ß-1. This notable structural difference suggests a denser and more stable lignin in bamboo fibers. Importantly, we found that LCC in parenchyma cells predominantly comprises γ-ester linkages, which exhibit an alkaline-unstable nature. In contrast, fibers predominantly contain phenyl glycoside linkages, characterized by their alkaline-stable nature. These findings were observed for all the tested bamboo species, indicating the conclusions should be also valid for other bamboo species, suggesting the competitiveness of bamboo parenchyma cells as a valuable biofuel feedstock.

Understanding the distribution and accessibility of polymers within plant cell walls is crucial for addressing biomass recalcitrance in lignocellulosic materials. In this work, Imaging Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, coupled with targeted chemical treatments, were employed to investigate cell wall polymer distribution in two bamboo species at both tissue and cell wall levels. Tissue-level Imaging FTIR revealed significant disparities in the distribution and chemical activity of cell wall polymers between the fibrous sheath and fibrous strand. At the cell wall level, Imaging Raman spectroscopy delineated a distinct difference between the secondary wall and intercellular layer, with the latter containing higher levels of lignin, hydroxycinnamic acid (HCA), and xylan, and lower cellulose. Mild acidified sodium chlorite treatment led to partial removal of lignin, HCA, and xylan from the intercellular layer, albeit to a lesser extent than alkaline treatment, indicating susceptibility of these polymers to chemical treatment. In contrast, lignin in the secondary wall exhibited limited reactivity to acidified sodium chlorite but was slightly removed by alkaline treatment, suggesting stable chemical properties with slight alkaline intolerance. These findings provide valuable insights into the inherent design mechanism of plant cells and their efficient utilization.

Lignocellulose constitutes the primary component of dietary fiber. We assessed how fermenting bamboo shoot residue with the medicinal white-rot fungus Inonotus obliquus affected the yield, composition, and functional attributes of dietary fiber by altering bamboo shoot residue lignocellulose's spatial structure and composition. I. obliquus secretes lignocellulolytic enzymes, which effectively enhance the degradation of holocellulose and lignin by 87.8% and 25.5%, respectively. Fermentation led to a more porous structure and reduced crystallinity. The yield of soluble dietary fiber increased from 5.1 g/100 g raw BSR to 7.1 g/100 g 9-day-fermented bamboo shoot residue. The total soluble sugar content of dietary fiber significantly increased from 9.2% to 13.8%, which improved the hydration, oil holding capacity, in vitro cholesterol, sodium cholate, and nitrite adsorption properties of dietary fiber from bamboo shoot residue. These findings confirm that I. obliquus biotransformation is promising for enhancing dietary fiber yield and quality.

Bamboo, as a renewable bioresource, exhibits advantages of fast growth cycle and high strength. Bamboo-based composite materials are a promising alternative to load-bearing structural materials. It is urgent to develop high-performance glued-bamboo composite materials. This study focused on the chemical bonding interface to achieve high bonding strength and water resistance between bamboo and dialdehyde cellulose-polyamine (DAC-PA4N) adhesive by activating the bamboo surface. The bamboo surface was initially modified in a directional manner to create an epoxy-bamboo interface using GPTES. The epoxy groups on the interface were then chemically crosslinked with the amino groups of the DAC-PA4N adhesive, forming covalent bonds within the adhesive layer. The results demonstrated that the hot water strength of the modified bamboo was improved by 75.8 % (from 5.17 to 9.09 MPa), and the boiling water strength was enhanced by 232 % (from 2.10 to 6.99 MPa). The bonding and flexural properties of this work are comparable to those of commercial phenolic resin. The activation modification of the bamboo surface offers a novel approach to the development of low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and sustainable bamboo engineering composites.
