The purpose of this study was to examine the quality variations of cake and cake batter when either butter or soybean oil was added in plain sponge cake batter. Soybean oil or butter was added to the batter at ratios of 20, 40, and 60% at 20, 35, 60, and $80^{\circ}C$. The physico-chemical properties of cake batter and cake were measured to evaluate the effects of ratio and temperature of butter and soybean oil. At higher ratios of butter or soybean oil and lower temperatures, the specific gravity of the cake batter increased while the interrelations among weight, volume, and specific loaf volume decreased. L- and b- values were the same, but a-value increased remarkably with higher ratios of butter. The effect of adding butter or soybean oil on hardness was shown to be lowest at 40% and $80^{\circ}C$. Baking loss in the baking process with soybean oil decreased with increasing oil quantity and temperature. Moisture content did not change with temperature, but did decline with increasing amounts of butter or soybean oil. These results show that the optimum condition for sponge cake would be 40% soybean oil at $80^{\circ}C$.

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.

The effects of substituting whey protein isolate (WPI) for butter in the preparation of butter sponge cake were determined by objective and subjective tests. The specific gravity of cake batter, the cooking loss and moisture content of cake were all decreased with increasing amounts of WPI, whereas specific loaf volume was increased. With increasing WPI content, redness of crust and crumb, as well as lightness of crumb were increased, whereas lightness of crust, as well as yellowness of crust and crumb were all decreased. Hardness, chewiness, gumminess, adhesiveness and fracturability were increased significantly with increasing amounts of WPI, however, cohesiveness, springiness, and resilience were decreased. In the sensory evaluation, 20% WPI-substituted cake displayed scores similar to those of control. These results suggest that substitution of 20% WPI could be the best ratio for the preparation of butter sponge cake.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of butter sponge cakes added with whey protein concentrate (WPC)(0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 100%) added as a fat substitute. The density of the dough of butter sponge cakes significantly increased with higher levels of added WPC and the pH decreased (F=248.38, p<.001). The moisture content also decreased significantly (F=3.151, p < .05). However, the volume (F=9.556, p<.01) and specific volume (F=11.15, p<.001) significantly increased. With respect to color, there was no significant difference in the lightness (L) value of the crumb, but the redness (a) value increased significantly with higher levels of added WPC (F=12.616, p < .001), while the yellowness (b) value decreased significantly (F=4.550, p<.01). Regarding the crust, the L values (F=3.791, p<.01) and b values (F=7.000, p<.001) decreased significantly with higher levels of added WPC, while the (a) values increased significantly (F=4.706, p<.01). The DPPH radical scavenging ability of the raw WPC used in the manufacture of butter sponge cakes was found to be 27.45%, but this increased significantly as the amount of WPC added to butter sponge cakes increased (F=45.237, p<.001). In a consumer preference test, the flavor, appearance, texture, odor, and overall acceptability were highest in the case of WPC-10 when taking advantage of the functional advantages of WPC as a lowfat substitute, confirming the development potential and optimal amount of WPC that should be added to butter sponge cakes.

The characteristics of sponge cakes prepared from various formulas having different types and levels of fat were examined through physical measurements and sensory evaluation. The physical properties of cake batters and cakes with hicook, that is, specific gravity and mixing characteristics of cake batters and volume of cakes, were similar to cakes with oil and added lecithin as emulsifier. Also in sensory evaluation the uniformity of air cell and moistness of cakes showed no significant differences in these samples. From this result, we concluded that lecithin is responsible for the characteristics of cakes with hicook. And hicook successfully replaced soybean oil in sponge cakes, and the fat content of cakes with hicook colud be reduced by 20％ relative to cakes with soybean oils.
