The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of moringa powder enrichment in sponge cake. The developed product can be a promising inclusion in the functional foods. Moringa powder was added to sponge cake batter (in the ratios of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12% of the total flour), called MP3, MP6, MP9, and MP12 respectively. The effect of moringa supplementation on physical, chemical and sensory quality of cakes were evaluated and analyzed statistically using SPSS program. The pH of cake was decreased as the concentration of moringa powder added. The specific volume of cake samples decreased with increasing levels of moringa powder in the formulation. Colour measurements showed that lightness and yellowness were decreased with an increased level of moringa powder. But redness result revealed and increasing in redeness with the increasing morigna powder level, compared to the control sample. The results of texture profile analysis showed hardness, springness, cohesiveness of the moringa cake that were higher than control sample. In sensory evaluation, MP3 was selected as the most acceptable sample. In the conclusion, moringa powder was incorporated in the formulation to enrich sponge cakes and was suggested for development of functional foods.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of sponge cake with various amounts of mulberry leaf powder in place of flour. The specific gravity of kneading was maintained at the different amounts of added mulberry leaf powder, which increased at ratios of 5, 10, 15, and 20 percent. The crumb decreased greatly when flour rather than mulberry leaf powder was used. As the amount of mulberry powder increased, red and yellow color decreased in both the crumb and crust. The volume and symmetry indices of the sponge cake slightly decreased when the amount of mulberry powder increased. However, uniformity was not significantly different between the samples. The specific volume of the cake decreased when the amount of the mulberry leaf powder increased. In addition, mulberry leaf powder increased the degrees of hardness and gumminess of cake, but did not show any differences for the cohesiveness and springiness of the cake texture. In the consumer acceptability test, the most favorable taste and odor were attained at the 10 percent level of mulberry leaf powder.

The substitution effects of whey protein isolate(WPI) for egg in the preparation of sponge cake were determined by objective and subjective tests. Milk whey is drained from milk curd as a by-product of cheese manufacture. Whey protein is known as a good nutritional source and a functional material for many processed foods, especially baked goods. WPI contains above 90% whey protein. The specific gravity and viscosity of sponge cakes tend to be affected by WPI substitution. The cooking loss of sponge cakes with WPI substituted for egg(abbreviated as WPI cake) during oven baking was smaller than that made with egg(abbreviated as egg cake) and the specific loaf volume of WPI cake was larger than that of egg cake. The number of pores was highly increased and the size of pores was more uniformly and finely distributed in the cross section of WPI cake than those of egg cake, as observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The hardness, gumminess and chewiness of WPI cake made with 10-20% WPI substitution were the lowest among all the tested cakes, including egg cake, thereby confirming the considerable improvement in their cake qualities. By the results of sensory evaluation, appearance, pore uniformity, softness, chewiness, moistness, flavor, mouth feeling, and overall acceptability of 10-20% WPI substitute cakes were evaluated as being significantly superior to those of all other cakes(p<0.05). These results support the better physicochemical characteristics and sensory evaluations of sponge cake prepared with 10-20% of WPI substitution for egg.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities and sensory properties of sponge cake with cabbage powder (CP). Physicochemical and sensory properties of sponge cake with different amount (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of CP were examined. As the increase in the amount of CP addition, the specific gravity and baking loss rate were increased, whereas the color of the cake crumb and crust, volume index and specific volume were decreased (p<0.05). The symmetry and uniformity index of the sponge cake were not affected by the addition of CP (5-15%) (p<0.05). The hardness was significantly increased while by CP addition cohesiveness was decreased (p<0.05). The springiness, gumminess and brittleness were not changed by CP addition (p<0.05). The total polyphenolic, DPPH radical scavenging activities and reducing power were significantly increased by addition of CP at high concentrations (p<0.05). In the sensory evaluation, addition of CP significantly degraded the panel preference related to the color, flavor and texture of the sponge cake. However, the highest point were given to sponge cakes containg 5-10% of CP in taste and overall acceptance (p<0.05). These data suggested that adding 5% of CP is the optimal concentration overall for making sponge cake. However, the sponge cake with 10% of CP is recommended in order to maximize antioxidant activity, the sponge cake was the best when contained 5% CP and the sponge cake prepared with the addition of 10% CP was recommended to use due to its advantages in functional property.

In the study, we determined the optimal ingredient mixing ratio for the preparation of sponge cake containing bamboo (Pseudosasa japonica Makino) leaves. This experiment was designed in according with the D-optimal design of mixture design, which involved 14 experimental points including 4 replicates for three independent variables (sugar 110${\sim}$129%, bamboo leaves 3${\sim}$8%, oil 10${\sim}$25%). The results the F-test, specific gravity, volume and color values (L, a, b) decided a linear model, while the viscosity, hardness and sensory characteristics (color, smell, taste, texture and overall acceptance) decided a quadratic model. The results of our fitness analysis demonstrated that in all characteristic, the probabilities were significant within 0.05%; thus, the models were accepted as appropriate. The response surface and trace plot results demonstrated that increasing amounts of added bamboo leaves induced a reduction in brightness, and increasing redness and yellowness. In addition, increasing amounts of bamboo leaves caused increases in hardness, and thus the softness of the cake decreased. And as the level of added oil increased, softness increased. Cake samples received low sensory evaluation scores when sugar, bamboo leaves, and oil were added above their optimal levels. In the numeric optimization, the optimal ingredient amounts were 121.36% sugar, 4.96% bamboo leaves, and 15.69% oil. The above results demonstrate the feasibility of adding bamboo leaves to sponge cake, and therefore, a bamboo leaves as a functional food.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of sponge cake by introduction of buckwheat powder (BP). Cake batter was prepared by substituting wheat flour with an equivalent amount of BP based on weight. Sponge cakes were prepared with different amounts of BP (0, 10, 20, and 30%, respectively). Their physicochemical and sensory properties were tested. The specific gravity was not affected by the addition of BP (10~30%) (p<0.05). The lightness (L value) and yellowness (b value) of the crumb significantly decreased with the increase in the BP contents (p<0.05), whereas the redness (a value) increased (p<0.05). As the increase in the amount of BP addition, the hardness, cake volume (mL), baking loss rate (%), and specific volume (mL/g) significantly decreased (p<0.05). On the contrary, the cake weight increased. In the sensory evaluation, no significant differences in terms of color, taste, texture, flavor, and overall acceptance were observed among the different amout of BP addition (0~20%) (p<0.05). Overall, the sponge cake prepared with the addition of 20% BP was recommended to use due to its advantages in functional property.
