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.     

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.     

Quality characteristics of egg-reduced pound cakes following WPI and emulsifier incorporation

The effect of partial (50 wt%) or total liquid egg replacement by whey proteins in combination with emulsifiers, i.e. hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate (SSL), on the quality of pound cakes was investigated. Cakes containing whey protein isolate (WPI) solutions of varying concentrations (i.e. 20, 17 and 14% w/v) were first prepared. Complete egg replacement by WPI led to the preparation of cake batter of increased specific gravity as well as to final cake products of inferior quality with regard to volume, texture and hardness increase upon storage, compared to the control. In the case of partial liquid egg replacement by WPI solutions, cakes with acceptable sensory and quality characteristics were obtained, which were further improved following the addition of emulsifiers. During a storage period of four days the egg-reduced cakes exhibited a significantly lower staling rate depending mainly on the concentration of WPI and the presence of emulsifiers. Finally, the analysis of cake microstructure confirmed the positive effect of the co-addition of whey proteins and emulsifiers in egg-reduced cakes. This work made it possible to develop an alternative, egg-reduced cake of satisfactory quality, by using a combination of whey proteins with two common baking additives.     

青稞粉粒径及其高添加量对戚风蛋糕面糊特性和品质的影响

针对蛋糕制备中增加高纤原料含量容易带来的结构塌陷等品质不稳定问题,该研究选择高膳食纤维含量的青稞粉为主要粉料,探究青稞粉粒径及其高添加量对戚风蛋糕面糊特性和蛋糕品质的影响。以小麦粉基戚风蛋糕为对照,研究了不同粒径青稞粉（QKF80、QKF100、QKF120）在不同添加量（50%、75%、100%）下,面糊的比重、气泡分布、黏度以及蛋糕的比容、气孔结构、质构、感官品质的变化。结果表明,青稞粉粒径越大,膳食纤维含量越高,青稞粉的吸水吸油能力越强。随着青稞粉添加量的增多,面糊稳定性降低、比重及黏度增加,蛋糕比容减小、硬度增加、内部气孔变大,塌陷程度增加,感官品质下降。小粒径青稞粉可赋予面糊适当黏度,使之在缺乏面筋蛋白的情况下也能稳定。QKF120三种添加量下,面糊比重范围0.33~0.36,糊中气泡分布均匀,成品蛋糕比容4.8~5.2 mL/g,内部气孔结构致密均匀,质构特性及感官评分与小麦粉基蛋糕无显著性差异。该研究可为开发高含量青稞粉戚风蛋糕提供理论依据和实践参考。     

不同乳化剂对糯米糕品质的影响及抗老化研究

以糯米粉、粘米粉为原料制作糯米糕,以感官评定与质构分析为指标,研究不同食品乳化剂对糯米糕品质的影响及抗老化效果。结果表明:单一乳化剂对糯米糕品质的改善均有一定的作用,单独添加蔗糖脂肪酸酯(sucrose fatty acid ester,SE)0.60%、单硬脂酸甘油酯(glyceryl monostearate,GMS)0.20%、羟丙基二淀粉磷酸酯(hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate,HPDSP)0.60%和硬脂酰乳酸钠(stearic acid sodium lactate,SSL)0.20%时对糯米糕品质改良效果最理想。在7 d、4℃贮藏过程中,SE、HPDSP和SSL对糯米糕均有不同程度的抗老化效果,其中添加量分别为SE(1.20%)、HPDSP(0.70%)和SSL(0.20%)时抗老化效果最好,而GMS则抗老化效果不明显;4种食品乳化剂中SE(1.20%)的抗老化效果明显优于其他3种。     

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     

Influence of fat content and emulsifier type on the rheological properties of cake batter

The effects of fat content and emulsifier type on the rheological properties of cake batter have been investigated by using a parallel-plate rheometer. The apparent viscosity of cake batter with five different fat concentrations (0, 12.5, 25, 37.5, and 50%) and two types of emulsifier, namely Purawave and Lecigran, was studied as a function of the shear rate. In addition, the time dependency of different cake formulations was investigated. It was found that cake batter with different fat concentrations and emulsifier types exhibited shear thinning and time-independent behavior. Experimental data provided a good fit for the power law model. The increase in fat content and addition of emulsifier caused a decrease in the apparent viscosity. The flow behavior index was not found to be dependent on the composition of cake batter.     

MEDIUM CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDE EFFECTS ON SENSORY AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SHORTENED CAKES

Medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil and corn oil were substituted for shortening (33, 50, 67 or 100%) in shortened cakes. Both MCT and corn oil affected batter specific gravity and fluidity (linespread). Baked cake volume decreased slightly at 33, 50 and 67% shortening replacement with both MCT and corn oil, but greatly at the 100% substitution level. Cake peak height decreased with corn oil but not with MCT oil substitution; air cell number decreased when oil was substituted 50%. Both oils decreased sensory graininess and surface oiliness/wetness; sensory lightness decreased at higher substitution levels. MCT or corn oil substitution had no effect on batter or cake color (L*, a* or b* values), oily flavor or sensory cohesiveness.     

不同乳化剂在中日两国面粉重油蛋糕面糊体系中的比较研究

探究使用MFC和SP两种乳化剂对中国和日本两国面粉的面糊流变学特性、面糊气泡分布、烘焙学特性以及热力学特性的影响,并对蛋糕进行感官评定测试。结果表明:添加10%MFC的蛋糕面糊比重变化最大,随着MFC的添加量的增加,蛋糕的比容出现了明显的上升。MFC面糊的气泡分布更加均匀,乳化体系有很好的稳定性。当MFC产品的添加量达到了7.5%时,其产品的硬度与添加了5%SP的蛋糕产品的硬度相似。含有10%MFC的重油蛋糕的感官品质以及抗老化效果最佳。相比于日本面粉,使用中国面粉作为面糊基质的蛋糕老化速率更低。     

芝麻适度压榨工艺条件研究

在传统的芝麻油和芝麻酱生产工艺的基础上,引入适度压榨工艺,采用适当的压榨条件提取部分芝麻油,同时保证芝麻饼的加工性能用于低脂芝麻酱的磨制。文章以压榨后的芝麻饼的松散程度和出油率为指标,通过单因素试验和正交试验对压榨压力、压榨次数、榨膛温度和入料温度进行选择与优化。确定的最佳压榨条件为:压榨压力30 MPa、压榨次数2次、入料温度25~35 ℃,在此条件下对焙炒后的芝麻进行适度压榨,出油率为17.3%,得到的芝麻饼松散程度评分为7.7,加工性能良好。以此芝麻饼为原料磨制的低脂芝麻酱相比同批原料制作的传统芝麻酱脂肪含量降低了10.0%,蛋白质含量增加了3.8%。应用该工艺得到的芝麻油色泽金黄、香味较淡,可用作烹饪油。     

Antistaling Additives, Flour Type and Sourdough Process Effects on Functionality of Wheat Doughs

Antistaling additives—distilled monoglycerides (MGL), diacetyl tartaric ester of monodiglycerides (DATEM), sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and fungal α-amylase—were studied for effects on rheological and fer- mentative properties of white/whole wheat bread doughs, made following straight/sour dough processes. A fractionated factorial design (L³²) was used to evaluate single additive effects and interactions. Single addition of DATEM, followed by SSL, α-amylase and hydrocolloids improved oven rise and final volume. In presence of DATEM, synergistic (MGL) and antagonistic (SSL) effects of additional emulsifiers were found on gassing power. SSL was the only effective conditioner for enhancement of mixing properties. Dough plasticity was negatively affected by MGL addition and by CMC/HPMC in white/whole flours respectively. Some combinations resulted in detrimental dough handling properties.     

Effect of partially defatted coconut flour on the rheological,physico-sensory characteristics and fatty acid profile of no-added fat rusk

Partially defatted coconut flour (PDCF) as a source of medium chain fatty acids was selected to replace fat in rusk formulation. Effect of replacement of wheat flour with PDCF (10%, 20% and 30%) on quality characteristics of rusk was studied. Increasing PDCF from 0% to 30% decreased farinograph water absorption, amylograph peak viscosity and overall quality score (52.5 to 19.5) of rusk. Use of additive mix, AM (4% dry gluten powder + 0.002% fungal α-amylase) to 20% PDCF, increased the farinograph dough stability, strength of the paste during heating and overall quality score (39.5 to 50.5). The rusk with 20% PDCF + AM was stable up to 30 days, had 1.6, 5.5 times higher protein and dietary fibre contents as compared to control rusk respectively. The fat in the rusk had zero trans fatty acids and contained 66.2% medium chain fatty acids with lauric acid as a major fatty acid.     

Improvement of Rheological and Baking Properties of Cake Batters with Emulsifier Gels

ABSTRACT: Effect of emulsifier gels prepared using sodium stearoyl-2 lactylate (SSL), distilled glycerol monostearate (DGMS), propylene glycol monostearate (PGMS), polysorbate-60 (PS-60), and sorbitan monostearate (SMS) in shortening medium and on the physical properties of cake batter and the quality of cake were studied. Both storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") of batters containing emulsifier gels increased compared with the control. The evaluation of cake batters for batter density showed that the emulsifier gels decreased the batter density from 0.95 g/cm3 for the control to 0.85 g/cm3. The photomicrographs of cake batters with different emulsifier gels showed an increase in the number of air bubbles, which were evenly distributed when compared with the control, indicating a lighter batter and better air incorporation. Among the emulsifier gels, cakes with PS-60 gel showed a maximum increase in specific volume followed by cakes with SSL, DGMS, PGMS, and SMS gels.     

Incorporation of chia seed flour into gluten-free rice layer cake: Effects on nutritional quality and physicochemical properties

The purpose of this research was to incorporate 0% to 30% chia seed flour into rice flour gluten-free layer cake and evaluate its effect on nutritional qualities and physicochemical properties. The supplement of chia seed flour resulted in higher batter viscosity, hardness of gluten free layer cake, crude protein, fat, ash, α-linolenic acid (increase up to 10.2% of total fatty acid), total phenolics content, and reducing power but the lower crust, crumb white index, cohesiveness, and resilience of gluten-free layer cake was found. Substitution of rice flour with 10% prehydrated chia seed flour can achieve a higher center height and volume index of gluten-free layer cakes. Higher carosine and angiotension I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was observed in the supplement of 10% chia seed flour when compared to a rice flour layer cake. Gluten-free layer cake with 10% prehydrated chia seeds flour had similar overall acceptability, texture, flavor, and odor scores except for lower appearance score to those of gluten-free layer cake made with 100% rice flour and layer cake made with 100% wheat flour. Incorporation of 10% prehydrated chia seed flour results in more desirable volume index of gluten-free layer cake and it is feasible for gluten-free layer cake application. Gluten-free layer cakes with improved quality characteristics and high nutritional value can be manufactured by the incorporation of chia seed flour.     

胞外多糖对无蛋蛋糕面糊及烘焙特性的影响

探究了乳酸菌产胞外多糖对搅打过程中复合蛋白起泡性、表面疏水性和液相蛋白含量的影响,并将乳酸菌发酵技术应用于无蛋蛋糕制作中,评估其对无蛋蛋糕面糊流变、烘焙特性和蛋糕芯微观结构的影响。结果表明:乳酸菌产胞外多糖能显著提高搅打过程中复合蛋白的起泡性质,增加蛋白表面疏水性及通过减少乳化剂的竞争吸附而维持界面蛋白含量。在面糊体系中,产胞外多糖乳酸菌发酵面糊气泡数量增加且分布更均匀,降低了面糊密度。相比于对照组,含胞外多糖的无蛋蛋糕比容增加了12.3%,硬度降低了43.0%,烘焙品质明显改善。蛋糕芯微观结构表明,蛋白质的降解以及胞外多糖的交联作用使得蛋白网络更加连续且均匀,改善了蛋糕芯结构。因此,乳酸菌产胞外多糖对无蛋蛋糕面糊特性和烘焙品质具有显著的改善作用(P<0.05)。     

Fat and fatty acids of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) in comparison to sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

The study was undertaken to compare fat and fatty acid profiles in white lupin (Lupinus albus ssp. albus) and sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), representing two different families, Fabaceae and Pedaliaceae. Fat levels were 10.74% and 55.44% in seeds of white lupin and sesame, respectively. The results indicated that oleic, linolenic and arachidic acids in seed fat were higher in white lupin than in sesame cultivars. Oleic acid was the predominant fatty acid in white lupin, whereas linoleic acid was predominant in sesame. Fat content (%) was statistically significantly correlated with linoleic, linolenic and arachidic acids at the genotypic level. The fatty acid composition of white lupin is useful for human consumption. Although oil content of white lupin was lower than that of sesame, white sweet lupin could be improved.     

控制热氧化冷榨芝麻油的脂肪酸组成及挥发性

本文采用气相色谱（GC）和固相微萃取-气相色谱-质谱联用（SPME-GC-MS）方法分析了控制热氧化前后冷榨芝麻油的脂肪酸组成和挥发性成分的变化情况。通过相对气味活度值（ROAV）评价各风味物质对芝麻油整体香气的贡献,并结合聚类分析确定控制热氧化后冷榨芝麻油中的关键风味物质。结果显示,样品中的脂肪酸主要有7种,包括3种饱和脂肪酸和4种不饱和脂肪酸,热氧化后冷榨芝麻油中的亚油酸及总不饱和脂肪酸的含量显著降低;柠檬烯和罗勒烯等烃类是冷榨芝麻油中的主要挥发性成分,其含量占风味物质总量的74.6%;热氧化后样品中的挥发性成分增加了10种,总峰面积是冷榨芝麻油风味物质总峰面积的2.68倍,3-甲基丁醛、癸醛、(E,E)-2,4-壬二烯醛、(E,E)-2,4-癸二烯醛等醛类含量高达67.9%,是热氧化样品的主要挥发性成分,其中亚油酸的氧化产物(E,E)-2,4-癸二烯醛是热氧化冷榨芝麻油中最重要的风味物质。     

Influence of rapeseed cake, linseed cake and hemp seed cake on laying performance of hens and fatty acid composition of egg yolk

In hens the effects of expeller/cakes from rapeseed, linseed, and hemp seed were investigated on feed intake, laying performance and fatty acid composition of egg yolk. A total of 216 individually caged laying hens were allocated to nine dietary treatments (5, 10, 15 % cake) and fed for six laying months. For feed intake, egg mass production and feed-to-egg mass ratio at 15 % dietary cake level a significant lower performance was shown compared with the 5 and 10 % cake level groups. Also interaction was significant for all these parameters, indicating that the cake level acted differently for the three cakes. The egg mass production was lower in the linseed cake than in the hempseed groups and the hens fed the linseed cake needed significantly more feed per kg egg mass compared with both the other cakes tested. Increasing dietary level of all oil seed cakes lowered the yolk percentage and increased the egg white percentage. Increased dietary levels of all three oil seed cakes lowered the percentages of most saturated fatty acids and also the percentages of the monounsaturated fatty acids. The linoleic acid and the linolenic acid as polyunsaturated fatty acids were heightened by increasing the cake levels from 5 to 10 and 15 % in the diet. The results allow the conclusion that compound feeds with up to 10 % of cakes does not negatively influence the laying performance of hens and provides the possibility of the enrichment of yolk fat with polyunsaturated fatty acids.     

Effects of batters containing different gum types on the quality of deep‐fat fried chicken nuggets

The effects of various gum types [hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), guar gum, xanthan gum, gum arabic] on the quality of deep‐fat fried chicken nuggets were studied. Chicken samples, 0.04 m in diameter and 0.015 m in thickness taken from the breast portion, were coated with batters composed of a 3:5 solid to water ratio by immersion. The solid content of batter formulations contained equal amounts of corn and wheat flours, 1.0% gum, 1.0% salt and 0.5% leavening agent. As control, batter without gum addition was used. Samples were fried at 180 °C for 3, 6, 9 and 12 min. The hardness and oil content of the chicken nuggets increased whereas the moisture content decreased during frying. HPMC and xanthan gums reduced oil absorption significantly compared with other gums and the control. When gum arabic was added to the batter formulation, a product with the highest oil content and porosity was obtained. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry     

Use of Yuja (Citrus junos) pectin as a fat replacer in baked foods

Pectin from yuja pomace was incorporated into cake formulations to evaluate the baking performance as a fat replacer. When shortening in cakes was replaced with different levels of pectin gel, cake batter exhibited greater viscosity and less shear-thinning behavior. The viscosities were well characterized using a Power-law model. The specific gravity of cake batter significantly increased with increasing levels of pectin gel (p<0.05) and was highly correlated with the cake volume after baking. Although cakes containing pectin exhibited increased textural hardness, shortening replacement with pectin up to 10% by weight was effective in producing cakes as soft as the control cake without a volume loss. There was an overall tendency that cakes with higher amounts of pectin showed a lighter surface color. Yuja pectin was thus used in cake baking as a fat replacer, producing baked goods with reduced fat and calorie content.
