In the study, we determined the optimal ingredient mixing ratio for the preparation of sponge cake containing bamboo (Pseudosasa japonica Makino) leaves. This experiment was designed in according with the D-optimal design of mixture design, which involved 14 experimental points including 4 replicates for three independent variables (sugar 110${\sim}$129%, bamboo leaves 3${\sim}$8%, oil 10${\sim}$25%). The results the F-test, specific gravity, volume and color values (L, a, b) decided a linear model, while the viscosity, hardness and sensory characteristics (color, smell, taste, texture and overall acceptance) decided a quadratic model. The results of our fitness analysis demonstrated that in all characteristic, the probabilities were significant within 0.05%; thus, the models were accepted as appropriate. The response surface and trace plot results demonstrated that increasing amounts of added bamboo leaves induced a reduction in brightness, and increasing redness and yellowness. In addition, increasing amounts of bamboo leaves caused increases in hardness, and thus the softness of the cake decreased. And as the level of added oil increased, softness increased. Cake samples received low sensory evaluation scores when sugar, bamboo leaves, and oil were added above their optimal levels. In the numeric optimization, the optimal ingredient amounts were 121.36% sugar, 4.96% bamboo leaves, and 15.69% oil. The above results demonstrate the feasibility of adding bamboo leaves to sponge cake, and therefore, a bamboo leaves as a functional food.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the sensory and mechanical characteristics, moisture content, color and texture of soybean dasik prepared by additions of bamboo leaf powder. The moisture content of the samples ranged from 24.39 to 26.29%. The L values, a values and b values were decreased with increasing the bamboo leaf powder. In the mechanical evaluation, hardness, gumminess and chewiness increased with increasing amounts of bamboo leaf powder while adhesiveness decreased with increasing amounts of bamboo leaf powder. Finally, in the sensory test, the 6% bamboo leaf powder sample received the highest scores for taste, flavor and overall acceptability.
