Physico-chemical characterization of six commercially important Indian bamboo species has been performed. The maximum starch content was found in B. vulgaris, highest hot water soluble constituents noticed in B. pallida, Bangalore, while lowest content of these soluble constituents was observed in B. tulda, Bihar. All the bamboo species have alkali solubility ranging from 26.1 to 28.3 %. B. pallida, Bangalore and D. strictus, Gurgaon have the lowest and highest lignin content and antifungal decay resistance, respectively. Maximum and minimum ligno-cellulose content was found to be in B. arundinacea, Allahabad, and B. tulda, Bihar bamboo species.
