Physicochemical and sensory properties of sponge cakes using 2 kinds of domestic wheat flour(white flour, whole wheat flour) and imported cake flour were investigated. In the proximate analysis, white flour had higher contents of water and protein compared with those of imported flour. Whole wheat flour had the highest contents of protein, lipid and ash. Regarding the batter, imported flour sample showed lower specific gravity and higher viscosity than those of domestic flour sample, implying that there was more air incorporation and higher batter stability. As a result, imported flour batter produced larger cake compared to that of domestic flour batter. But indexes of symmetry and uniformity showed no significant difference among the samples. In textural analysis using rheometer, cakes with imported flour were softer compared with that with domestic flour. In gumminess and brittleness, cakes with domestic white flour showed the highest value while that with the imported flour showed the lowest value. For the color measurements of cake crumb, no significant difference in DE was found among the samples. Regarding the cross-sections of the cake observed using SEM, imported flour produced cake with smaller and more even air cells compared to that with the domestic flour cake. In sensory evaluation, cakes with the domestic white flour showed the highest moistness value. But there was no significant difference in springiness, firmness, adhesiveness and ease of swallow among the samples. In conclusion, cakes with domestic white flour and whole wheat flour were as good as that with imported cake flour for the sponge cake preparation.

We evaluated the sensory properties of, and color change in, sponge cakes prepared with addition of rosemary powder at different levels (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7% [all w/w]). The color values (L, b) of sponge cakes decreased as the level of rosemary powder increased from 0% to 0.7%, but the a value increased. Sensory evaluation tests showed that the scores for color, sweetness, and appearance decreased as rosemary powder content increased, but the air bubble score did not decrease (p<0.05). Flavor and color intensity scores were highest in cakes with 0.7% (w/w) rosemary. However, the trend of color intensity decreased as rosemary powder content increased in this experiment. After 3 days of storage, sponge cake with added rosemary powder was softer than control cake. It is concluded that sponge cake with 0.1 or 0.3% (both w/w) rosemary powder is acceptable.

Purpose: This study investigated quality characteristics and retarding retrogradation of sponge cake added beetroot powder. Methods: Sponge cakes were prepared using 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% of beetroot powder. The specific capacity, baking loss, and dough yield were calculated. Moisture content and pH were also measured. Color values were assessed using a color measurement spectrophotometer. The retarding retrogradation was calculated employing the Avrami equation. Results: The specific capacity increased in parallel to the addition of beetroot powder's elevation, but baking loss significantly decreased. The dough yield was high in 6% and 8% additions however moisture content did not differ. The pH was increased in 0-4% additions. L and b-values significantly decreased according to the level of beetroot powder. For retarding retrogradation, a 4% addition had the effect of delaying the sponge cake's staling. Conclusion: These results suggested that the beetroot can be considered a good material to improve the quality characteristics, sensory properties, and after the addition of 4% of beetroot powder was able to delay staling. Therefore, so it is assumed to improve the sponge cake shelf life.

The investigation of the textural characteristics of sponge cake with addition of polymannuronate(obtained from the polysaccharide, component of brown seaweed), were studied in order to assess the potential of polymannuronate as a dietary fiber and fat substitute. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of sponge cake were tended to progressively decrease in the response to the addition of polymannuronate. Low-butter treatment with constant level of polymannuronate increased hardness, gumminess, and chewiness while brittleness and springiness decreased. Sensory evaluation of sponge cake indicated that addition of polymannuronate(optimally at 3 and 5 w/w%), enhanced springiness, cohesiveness, and overall acceptability. The overall acceptability decreased P5C, P3C and P1C, P5B and control in the order. These results highlight the potential of polymannuronate as promising dietary fiber and fat substitute in sponge cake without compromising the textural characteristics.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of saltwort, on the quality characteristics of sponge cake. In addition, we examined the commercialization potential of sponge cake containing saltwort. To accomplish this, saltwort was added to sponge cakes at concentrations of 0%, 3%, 5% and 7% and quality and sensory tests were then conducted. The 7% group had the highest water and ash content. There was no difference in the fat content between samples. The control group showed the highest protein content and the lowest specific gravity. As the content of saltwort increased, the specific gravity of the sponge cake increased. Additionally, the dough yield and loss during baking were highest, in the control group, and these values decreased as the saltwort content increased. Similarly, the volume and specific volume were highest in the control group, and these values decreased as the content of saltwort powder increased. Color measurements of the samples, revealed that the L-value decreased as the content of saltwort powder increased. Furthermore, the a-value of the saltwort powder groups was higher than that of the control group and the b-value was highest in the 7% group. There were no differences in elasticity and cohesion between samples, but chewiness and brittleness increased the content of saltwort powder increased. The results of the sensory test revealed that the color, flavor and taste scores were the highest in the 5% group. The pore size was greatest in the control group, while hardness was greatest in the 7% group, chewiness was highest in the 5% group and moistness was highest in the 5% group. Finally, the overall preference was for the 5% group.

We investigated the quality and antioxidant activities of sponge cake prepared containing 1-5% of green tea powder (GT). The water content in the cake increased with an increase in the amount of GT added. Although the hardness and springiness of the rice sponge cake increased, the adhesiveness decreased with increasing the level of GT. The cohesiveness, chewiness, and resilience of the rice sponge cake with GT were similar to those of the control. Chromaticity determination revealed that lightness, redness, and yellowness of the crust decreased with increasing GT content. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased proportionally with increasing GT level. Antioxidant activity, measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging as well as reducing power activities, was significantly higher in the rice sponge cake with GT than in the control. Sensory evaluation determined that addition of 1-3% GT to the rice sponge cake maintained the color, taste, texture, flavor, and overall acceptance similar to that of the control.

The substitution effects of broccoli powder for flour in the preparation of sponge cake were determined by physicochemical and sensory analysis. The specific gravity and viscosity of the cake batter and cooking loss of the cake increased with an increasing amount of broccoli powder, whereas specific loaf volume and moisture content of the cake decreased. Lightness, redness, and yellowness of crust and crumb decreased with increasing broccoli powder content. A texture analyses revealed that the hardness, chewiness, gumminess, adhesiveness, and fracturability of the cake tended to increase in proportion to the amount of broccoli powder in the formula. In the sensory evaluation, cake prepared with 5% broccoli powder was similar to the control in moistness, softness, chewiness, and springiness. These results suggest that adding 5% broccoli powder is the best substitution ratio for sponge cake.
