Microwave heating is proposed as a kind of pretreating methods for bamboo fiber extraction. Effect of various processing parameters, e. g. microwave initial-setting power, reaction temperature, irradiation time, and bath ratio (bamboo to water) on bamboo powders was studied. Analysis of chemical components indicates that microwave assisted extraction is a mild treating method without obvious change of main constitutes of bamboo. The removal of polysaccharide by microwave treating resulted in loosening the structure and thus benefits hydrolysis of bamboo in subsequent
