Abstract
Bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla f. pubescens) culms were pretreated by the saturated steam with the temperature of 140, 160, and 180 °C and subsequently dried by the kiln drying method. Results indicated that steam pretreatment has a significantly positive effect on the drying quality of the bamboo culms. The steam treatments with a temperature of 160–180 °C and duration of 25–15 min are suggested for the rapid drying of bamboo culms.
