In the present study, we evaluated the antibacterial activities and Nitrite scavenging ability of bamboo sap and bamboo sap steam extract. Our analysis revealed that the total phenolic compounds containing the tannic acid in the bamboo sap extract showed 12.7% and in the case of bamboo sap steam extract was 20.9% respectively. The nitrite scavenging ability of bamboo sap steam extract showed about 51%. The antibacterial activities of bamboo sap steam extract on Bacilus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. Choleraesuis and Escherichia coli were 13.8, 12.0, 13.5 and 8.3 mM respectively. Furthemore, the bamboo sap steam extract have showed thermostability and no effect on their antibacterial property under themal conditions. Therefore, this finding is useful for the utility of these compounds as additives in food preservations.
