Abstract:In this paper，the nutritional composition and safety quality of Phyllostachys edulis shoots and Phyllostachys praecox shoots of the Phyllostachys genus were systematic determined，comparison and analyzed.The results showed that the contents of total sugar，crude protein，ash，vitamin C，amino acid，selenium and mineral in Phyllostachys edulis shoots were significantly higher than those in Phyllostachys praecox shoots，and the contents of heavy metal chromium，plumbum and nitrate were lower than those of Phyllostachys praecox shoots.Both pollutants were within the limits set by national standards.Both kinds of edible bamboo shoots were rich in nutrition and safety quality，and the flavor of Phyllostachys praecox shoot was better than that of Phyllostachys edulis shoot，but the nutrition of Phyllostachys edulis shoot was more abundant and safe than that of Phyllostachys praecox shoot，and its edible value was higher than that of Phyllostachys praecox shoot.
