Quality Characteristics of Cookies with Bamboo Leaves Powder

In this study we investigated physicochemical and sensory characteristics of cookies with various levels(0, 3, 6, 9, 12%) of bamboo leaves powder. Spread ratio of control and 3% added sample showed significantly higher value than bamboo leaves powder added samples. Loss rate of control showed significantly higher value than other samples. The 'L' and 'b' value was significantly lowed by the addition of bamboo leaves powder. The 'a' value of bamboo leaves powder added samples were significantly lower than control. Share force was increased in proportion to bamboo leaves powder addition level, which had no significance between control and 3% added sample. But Share force showed significantly high level in 9% and 12% added samples. The result of sensory evaluation for color showed the highest preference in 9% added sample and the lowest preference in 3% added sample. Preference of taste was the highest in 9% added sample, hardness was lower by bamboo leaves addition. Overall acceptability was higher in 6% and 9% added samples than others, but they had no significance.
