Abstract: | Different modified wheat starches were used in a model pound cake recipe. The properties of the starches were linked to differences in batter viscosity, cake height and protein extractability during baking, collapse during cooling and final cake quality. The impact of incorporation of 30% cross-linked (CL) starches on batter properties during baking was much smaller than that of incorporation of the same level of hydroxypropylated (HP) starches. Incorporation of HP starches with various degrees of modification in the recipe caused batter viscosity during baking to start rising from 92 or 88 °C rather than at 96 °C and diminished oven rise significantly. Furthermore, the extractability of the protein in cakes containing HP starch was significantly higher. During cooling, control cake collapsed less than did CL starch-containing cake, which itself collapsed significantly less than did HP starch-containing cake. Presumably, most of the cake collapse takes place before the starch gel is formed during cooling. Protein and starch apparently function in determining cake quality, by providing the cell walls with structural material and high resistance to collapse. Starch does not prevent cake collapse, but still co-determines crumb structure, whereas a strong correlation was found between the gel-forming capacity of starch blends and intrinsic crumb firmness (r = 0.99). Furthermore, a strong negative correlation was found between springiness and percentage of extractable protein in final cakes (r = −0.95). We conclude that the combination of a protein network, formed during baking, with a starch gel, formed during cooling, makes up the crumb cell walls and determines cake quality. |
