Quality and antioxidant property of green tea sponge cake

Green tea powder was used to substitute 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of wheat flour to make sponge cakes, called the control, GT10, GT20, and GT30, respectively. The viscosity and specific gravity in cake batter, and hardness, gumminess, chewiness, crumb a value, protein, total dietary fibre, ash, and various catechin content of baked cakes increased with increasing green tea levels whereas the volume, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, springiness, resilience, crust L, a, b and crumb L, b values of samples showed a reverse trend. No differences were found in all hedonic sensory results for control, GT10, and GT20 whereas GT30 were rated lower in all sensory results. Green tea cake contained a greater variety of catechins, and had good antioxidant activity, reducing power, scavenging ability on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals and chelating ability on ferrous ions. Overall, green tea cake could be developed as a food with more effective antioxidant properties.     

Effect of soapwort extract on physical and sensory properties of sponge cakes and rheological properties of sponge cake batters

Soapwort extract yields relatively stable, soap-like foam in aqueous solution because of its saponin content. The objective of this study was to utilise the advantage of the high foam forming capacity of soapwort extract in the production of sponge cakes. Egg white proteins were partially replaced with soapwort extract in the sponge cake formulation. The effects of soapwort extract addition on the rheological and physical properties of cake batters and on the physical and sensory properties of sponge cakes were determined. Replacing egg white proteins with soapwort extract, up to 75% by weight, did not have any significant influence on the specific gravity of batters (p > 0.05). Addition of soapwort extract into the cake mixture did not influence the flow behaviour indices (n) of cake batters nor the consistency indices (K) of cake batters. In general, replacing egg white proteins with soapwort extracts (up to 75% by weight) did not alter physical properties of sponge cakes. Replacing egg white proteins with soapwort extract had no unfavourable influence on the sensory properties of sponge cakes. Indeed, sponge cakes formulated with soapwort extract (by replacing egg white proteins by 50% and 75% on weight basis) received significantly higher chewiness scores than did control cakes (p < 0.05). This study showed that egg white proteins could be partially replaced with soapwort extract in the formulation of sponge cakes.     

Structural development of sucrose‐sweetened and sucrose‐free sponge cakes during baking

The influence of sucrose, wheat starch and sorbitol upon the heat‐ and mass‐exchanging processes forming the structure of sponge cake was studied. Under the influence of wheat starch and sorbitol the structure of the sucrose‐free sponge cake was formed at more uniform total moisture release. This process was done at lower temperatures and smoother change of the sponge cake height with respect to the sucrose‐sweetened sponge cake. The porous and steady structure of both cakes was finally formed at identical time – between 18^th and 19^th minute, at the applied conditions for baking of each batter (metal pan with diameter 15.4 cm and depth 6.2 cm containing 300 g of batter and placed in an electric oven “Rahovetz – 02”, Bulgaria for 30 min at 180°C). The water‐losses at the end of baking (10.30% and 10.40% for the sucrose‐sweetened cake and sucrose‐free cake, respectively) and the final temperatures reached in the crumb central layers (96.6°C and 96.3°C for the sucrose‐sweetened cake and sucrose‐free cake, respectively) during baking of both samples were not statistically different. The addition of wheat starch and sorbitol in sucrose‐free sponge cake lead to the statistically different values for the porosity (76.15% and 72.98%) and the volume (1014.17 cm³ and 984.25 cm³) of the sucrose‐sweetened and sucrose‐free sponge cakes, respectively. As a result, the sucrose‐free sponge cake formed during baking had a more homogeneous and finer microstructure with respect to that of the sucrose‐sweetened one.     

Effect of the particle size of pear pomace on the quality of enriched layer and sponge cakes

Pear pomace (PP) is a by-product of the fruit industry with a high content of fibre. Its potential as an ingredient at 15% or 30% level for sponge and layer cakes was investigated. Three PP powders with different particle sizes (fine, medium and coarse) were obtained. Batter microstructure, density and viscosity and cake specific volume, texture and colour were evaluated. When PP was added, less uniformity in bubble distribution was observed in batters, particularly at higher particle sizes. Cake specific volume significantly diminished with increasing amounts of PP. For sponge cakes, the decrease in specific volume was the highest for the finest particle size of PP. In general, increasing PP addition increased hardness and reduced elasticity, cohesiveness and resilience but the effect depended on the particle size. In general, better textural attributes were obtained with medium and coarse particle sizes. These results indicate that PP of an adequate particle size could be a promising fibre source for different cake formulations.     

4种功能性低聚糖对海绵蛋糕的面糊性能和烘焙品质的影响

针对海绵蛋糕的高糖问题,选用4种功能性低聚糖完全替代海绵蛋糕中的蔗糖,分别比较了它们对海绵蛋糕的面糊性能和烘焙品质的影响。结果表明:低聚异麦芽糖、低聚果糖、低聚半乳糖的面糊性能与蔗糖组较为接近,显示出良好的替代性,使用这3种糖制作的海绵蛋糕贮藏3d后依然是可接受的。而菊粉因为吸湿性极强,其海绵蛋糕成品比容小,硬度大,咀嚼时粉质感强烈,可接受度最低。     

不同加工方式对全豆蛋糕品质和营养价值的影响

采用烤箱烘烤和蒸锅蒸制2种不同加工方式分别制作全豆蛋糕,并对其感官性状和营养成分进行比较分析。结果显示:与蒸锅蒸制的全豆蛋糕相比,烤箱烘烤的全豆蛋糕感官评分更高;在营养成分方面,烘烤的蛋糕蛋白质、脂肪、碳水化合物、维生素A、维生素B2的含量以及能量均较高,但总膳食纤维和钙的含量却较低;亚麻籽油健康且稳定,可作为全豆蛋糕的烹调用油。2种加工方式各有优缺点,建议根据实际需求进行选择。     

Effect of maltodextrin and emulsifiers on the viscosity of cake batter and on the quality of cakes

The effect of fat replacement by maltodextrin on cake batter viscosity and the quality of the resultant cakes was studied. The viscosity of batter was reduced significantly when fat was replaced with equal quantities of maltodextrin. Cakes prepared from this batter had low volume and firmer texture. Relatively better cakes were obtained when lower quantities of maltodextrin were used in the formulation. Viscosity of the above cake batter was relatively higher. A relationship between batter viscosity and cake volume was observed. Further improvement in cake volume could be achieved using emulsifiers. In the presence of glycerol monostearate little improvement in cake batter was observed, but the resultant cake volume was improved. However, sodium steroyl lactylate, which improved the batter viscosity, did not improve the cake volume or texture. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry     

Studies on interaction between stevioside,liquid sorbitol,hydrocolloids and emulsifiers for replacement of sugar in cakes

Studies were carried out on the replacement of sugar with stevioside and liquid sorbitol (SO); addition of hydrocolloids, emulsifiers with and without 10% debittered fenugreek seed powder (DFSP) to a mixture of stevioside and SO on the rheological, microstructural and quality characteristics of cake. Experimental data showed that addition of sugar increased the amylograph viscosity of wheat flour paste during heating and cooling while SO at different percentages decreased these viscosities, however addition of combination of hydrocolloid (xanthan, XA) and emulsifier (polysorbate-60, PS-60) increased the viscosity of wheat flour paste with 100% SO. Addition of combination of XA + PS-60 improved distribution pattern of air cells, increased batter viscosity, cohesiveness, overall quality score of cake with 100% SO and allowed incorporation of DFSP to improve the functional characteristics of cake. Evaluation of composition of developed cake showed negligible sucrose content, perceptible fenugreek flavor and increased dietary fiber as against cake with sugar.

Effect of hydrocolloids and emulsifiers on the rheological,microstructural and quality characteristics of eggless cake

Effect of hydrocolloids like Arabic (AR), guar (GR), xanthan (XN), carrageenan (CG) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) in combination with emulsifiers such as glycerol monostearate (GMS) and sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL) on the rheological, microstructural and quality characteristics of eggless cake was studied. Addition of GR to wheat flour in the presence of SSL increased peak viscosity, while in the presence of GMS all hydrocolloids excepting XN increased the peak viscosity. The set back value decreased with the addition of hydrocolloids. Addition of hydrocolloids to wheat flour as well as in the presence of GMS and SSL increased the eggless cake batter viscosity, specific gravity, and XN showed the highest value. Among different hydrocolloids tried, only HPMC improved the eggless cake making characteristics of wheat flour. Use of HPMC increased the overall quality score of eggless cake with GMS to the maximum extent followed in decreasing order by CG and XN. Addition of all the hydrocolloids increased the overall quality of eggless cake with SSL and highest improvement was brought about by HPMC. Microstructure studies of eggless cake crumb with hydrocolloids showed that the starch granules appeared wrapped by XN and HPMC. In eggless cake with combination of HPMC and SSL the protein matrix appeared more uniform.     

不同加工方式对绿壳鸡蛋和普通鸡蛋海绵蛋糕品质的影响

Effects of purified monoglycerides on Canadian short process and sponge and dough mixing properties,bread quality and crumb firmness during storage

The effects of increasing levels of a wide range of purified saturated (C12:0–C22:0) and unsaturated (C18:1 cis, C18:1 trans, C18:2, C18:3) monoglycerides on Canadian short process (CSP) and sponge and dough (SDP) mixing properties, bread quality and crumb firmness during storage have been studied. For both processes, higher levels (0.5–1.0%) of polyunsaturated monoglycerides (C18:2, C18:3) caused the largest significant (p < 0.05) increases in mixing time and mixing energy requirements while shorter chain saturated monoglycerides (C12:0, C14:0) significantly increased mixing time and energy requirements for the CSP. Most monoglycerides had positive effects on CSP loaf volume and bread score while no improvement was evident for the SDP. For both processes, crumb firmness during storage was significantly reduced by addition of C16:0 and C18:0 saturated and cis- and trans- monounsaturated monoglycerides and was significantly increased by addition of C12:0 and the polyunsaturated monoglycerides. Changes in crumb firmness during storage were attributed to the effects of monoglycerides on both initial crumb firmness and the rate of crumb firming. The baking process appeared to have a strong influence on the relative impact of monoglycerides on overall crumb firmness and, in particular, initial firmness.

Staling of cereal bran enriched cakes and the effect of an endoxylanase enzyme on the physicochemical and sensorial characteristics

Abstract: The staling of cakes enriched with untreated brans and endoxylanase‐treated brans was evaluated by monitoring the changes in physicochemical, thermal, and sensorial properties of cakes during 7‐d storage. Oat and rice bran were treated with different levels (0, 70, and 700 ppm) of an endoxylanase enzyme and added to cakes on 30% flour weight basis. Moisture losses, water activity, crumb firmness, starch retrogradation, and sensorial characteristics were used as staling indicators. Avrami‐type equations were efficiently used for modeling the starch retrogradation kinetics, while linear models most adequately described crumb firming kinetics. Cake staling induced an increase in crumb firmness and enthalpy of amylopectin retrogradation, and a decrease in crumb moisture and sensory quality and acceptability scores of cakes. Oat bran‐containing cakes better maintained their characteristics compared to the ones containing rice bran along the 7‐d storage. Endoxylanase treatment of brans delayed the changes naturally induced during staling in crumb moisture content, amylopectin retrogradation enthalpy, and crumb firmness in the respective cakes. Deterioration of the sensorial characteristics was slower for the cakes containing endoxylanase‐treated brans, as well. The level of endoxylanase treatment did not differentiate significantly (P < 0.05) any of the staling indicators. Overall, this study demonstrated that addition of endoxylanase‐treated brans can result in cakes with improved nutritional characteristics and increased shelf life. Practical Application: The results of the study show the potential of using enzymes to modify underutilized food sources that can be properly incorporated in baked goods, improving their nutritional value, their quality characteristics, and providing longer shelf life. The developed procedure and results can be utilized by the bakery industry to make high fiber and low cost bakery products with improved sensorial characteristics that are appealing to the consumers.     

裸藻对戚风蛋糕品质及抗氧化能力的影响

目的:探索裸藻对戚风蛋糕品质的影响。方法:将裸藻粉添加到戚风蛋糕中,探索不同添加量(0.0%,2.0%,4.0%,6.0%,8.0%)对蛋糕比容、含水量、色泽、质构特性、感官评价及蛋糕抗氧化能力的影响。结果:添加裸藻粉后,蛋糕的比容和亮度降低,但其含水量变化不大。随着裸藻粉添加量的增加,蛋糕的硬度、胶着性和咀嚼性明显增大,弹性、回复性、内聚性变化不大。添加裸藻粉可以显著提高蛋糕的抗氧化能力,且抗氧化能力的提高与裸藻粉添加量具有极强的正相关性(P<0.01)。综合质构和感官分析,当裸藻粉添加量为4.0%时,感官评分最高,羟自由基清除率和总抗氧化能力分别比对照组提高了15.3%和17.0%。结论:在戚风蛋糕中添加裸藻粉,可以显著提高蛋糕的抗氧化能力和营养价值,还能一定程度上改善蛋糕的品质。     

The effect of isomaltooligosaccharide as a fat replacer on the quality of nonfat kefir manufacture

The influence of different levels of isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) on the quality of kefir manufacture was investigated. Addition of IMO caused the kefir samples to decrease in whey separation and positively affected the texture of the kefir samples so that they had higher firmness values than the control. With respect to the organoleptic quality of the kefir samples, IMO addition caused a decrease in organoleptic scores: the control had the highest score, and the lowest score was observed in kefir samples containing 3 g/100 mL IMO. Overall, kefir containing 1% of IMO was similar in quality characteristics to control kefir made with whole milk.     

Influence of malted finger millet and red kidney bean flour on quality characteristics of developed bread

The effects of malted finger millet (MFM) and red kidney bean flour (RKF) substitution on nutritional, sensory, and textural characteristics of yeast leavened bread was investigated in this study. Based on the preliminary studies optimized level of substitution of either MFM or RKF in refined wheat flour in the recipe was fixed at 20 g/100 g of wheat flour. The bread with MFM exhibited better sensorial characteristics and textural attributes in comparison to the RKF incorporated bread. But the addition of RKF showed higher nutritional and mineral composition when compared with the MFM substituted bread. The results further indicated a requirement for optimization of processing conditions to maximize bread quality attributes for better commercial acceptability.     

Effects of protein from different sources on the characteristics of sponge cakes,rice cakes (apam), doughnuts and frying batters

Sponge cakes containing total substitution of whole egg with egg yolk had the largest volume, best texture, highest moisture, colour and flavour compared with all other cakes. Cakes made with total substitution of other proteins had smaller volumes than the control, while those made with egg white had the lowest moisture. Cakes made with whey powder had the tenderest texture. Doughnuts made with protein other than gluten had reduced oil absorption compared with the control. Doughnuts containing whey or skimmed milk had the most desirable flavour; this may be attributed to the presence of lactose. Gluten doughnuts were most disliked because of their hard texture and pale colour. Doughnuts made with total substitution of whole egg with egg white had good texture and low oil absorption. Skimmed milk powder was best for the expansion and texture of chemically leavened rice cakes (apam), while egg white produced the best expansion for yeast-leavened rice cakes, compared with the other proteins studied. The protein that produced the most desirable textures in yeast-leavened rice cakes in order of merit were skimmed milk powder, egg white and egg yolk. Whey, skimmed milk powder and gluten helped improve the crispiness of frying batters. Ovalbumin did not affect the crispiness but significantly reduced the oil absorption of the frying batters. Addition of proteins other than whey and ovalbumin, increased the oil absorption of frying batters.
