Abstract: Optimization of soy-cake using infrared microwave combination using response surface methodology was studied here ,in which box Behnken method was used .The independent variables used here are the time to bake (8-10 min) ,soy flour concentration(30-50%),DATEM concentration , (0.4- 0.8%) .The dependent variables used for this study is weight loss ,texture ,color change .The optimum time for baking ,concentration of soy flour ,DATEM concentration were respectively found as 8.74 mins.36.61%,0.488%.the optimum values for quality characteristics weight loss ,texture ,color measurement are 17.011%,0.2005%,56.83% respectively as per response surface methodology and contour plot.
