There characteristics are noted. Below experiments are conducted for Nutritional analysis - Moisture, Carbohydrate, Crude Protein, Crude Fiber and Total Ash analysis experiment are performed and Phytochemical analysis : Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Saponins, Tannins, Phenols, Glycosides, Proteins and Amino acids are performed and Results are tabulated for the obtained edible bamboo shoots. The results showed that Dendrocalamus asper, Bambusa bambos and Bambusa nutans are highly nutritious and suitable for edible which provide high nutrients. The phytochemical constituents alkaloids , phenols, proteins and amino acids are present in most of the shoot sample which shows that it has medicinal property.
