To investigate the production of yogurt added with desalted bamboo shoots, the component analysis was conducted. Desalted bamboo shoots contained 82.59 % of moisture, 4.56 % of protein, 0.52 % of lipid, 0.50 % of ash and 11.72 % of total dietary fiber. The main mineral elements were Ca, P, S, Na, Mg and K. Yogurt base fermented with 0.005 % ABT-5 starter inoculum at $40\;^{\circ}C$ for 13 hr. For the preparation of bamboo shoots yogurt, various sugaring bamboo shoots were added to the yogurt base. Results of sensory evaluation of the yogurt containing bamboo shoots indicated that color, odor, taste, flesh size, flesh amount, mouth feel, and overall acceptability of the 15 %(w/v) bamboo shoots dicing $(5{\times}5{\times}5\;mm)$ showed higher preference than others. When bamboo shoot yogurt was kept at $4\;^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, pH, titratable acidity, viable counts of lactic acid bacteria and Bifidobacterium bifidum of yogurt were not changed.
