This study was conducted to optimize sugaring process of yam for development of new snack product and enhancement acceptability. Three variables by five level central composite design and response surface methodology were used to determine optimum conditions for sugaring time, temperature and concentration. Optimization of the process was conducted using the combination of the moisture content, solid content, color and rehydration ratio. The regression polynomial model was suitable (P>0.05) model by Lack-of-Fit analysis with highly significant. To optimize the process, based on surface response and contour plots, superimposing the individual contour plots for the response variables. The optimum conditions for this process were 5.5 hours and 58％ at 40$^{\circ}C$ under the optimum of restricted variables as moisture content was 66 to 70, solid content was 25 to 30％, L value was above 75, a value was -2.1 to -2.4, b value was above 5 and rehydration ratio was 200 to 250.
