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.

In this study, consumer acceptance and sensory intensity evaluations were performed on sponge cakes prepared with domestic and imported cake flours. Specific volume data as well as cross-sectional photograph observations confirmed that the imported flour sample group had greater volume than the domestic flour groups. The imported flour sample group also had a significantly (p<0.05) higher mean overall acceptability score at 5.82; however, it was not significantly different from the domestic white flour sample group (5.40). There was no significant difference in overall texture acceptance between samples prepared with imported and domestic white flours; however, their scores were significantly higher than that of the domestic whole flour group (p<0.05). Consumer acceptances of color significantly decreased as the orders of cake group prepared using the imported, domestic white, and domestic whole flours with the values of 6.48, 5.72 and 4.61, respectively (p<0.05). Acceptance of the air cell and the acceptance and intensity of sweetness did not show significant differences between the imported and domestic white flour group.

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.

An agricultural waste, pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel is known to be rich in total phenolics, which are flavonoids having strong antioxidant effects. In this study, pomegranate peel sponge cakes were prepared with varying ratios of freeze dried pomegranate peel powder (0, 1, 3, 5, 7% (w/w)) to examine their effect on quality characteristics, retrogradation and antioxidant activities. The specific gravity and moisture contents of 3, 5, and 7% pomegranate peel powder showed higher values than the control and 1% group. Addition of pomegranate peel powder increased the batter yield, while there was a significant decrease in baking loss. Increasing pomegranate peel powder content significantly decreased the lightness (L) (from 75.03 to 57.04) and pH values, whereas redness (a), yellowness (b) and ${\Delta}E$ were increased. Increasing concentration of the peel powder also increased the hardness and chewiness, while the springiness and cohesiveness decreased. Considering the Avrami equation, Avrami exponene (n) decreased from 1.8055 (control) to 0.9199 (7% pomegranate peel powder). Time constant (1/k) was lowest in control (at 17.64) and highest in the 7% group (39.84). Total polyphenol, flavonoid content, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities significantly increased with increments in the content of pomegranate peel powder. A sensory evaluation by the 7-point scaling method showed that the sponge cake containing 7% pomegranate peel powder had the highest scores in color, flavor, sweetness, chewiness and overall acceptability. Hence, it is considered that sponge cake supplemented with 7% pomegranate peel powder is the most appropriate for quality characteristics, retrogradation and antioxidant activities.

Yacon syrup, which contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), was used as a substitute for sugar to make functional healthy sponge cake. Regarding characteristics of sponge cake with various yacon syrup concentrations, height and volume decreased while moisture content increased with increasing yacon syrup concentration. Sponge cake with increasing yacon syrup content showed a greater green-yellowish color. Springiness, cohesiveness, hardness, and brittleness decreased with increasing yacon syrup concentration. Hardness values of cakes made with 100% sugar (YS 0) and yacon syrup substitute for 10% sugar (YS 10) were not significantly different. Overall acceptance of sponge cake decreased with increasing yacon syrup content, whereas those of YS 0 and YS 10 were not significantly different. For storage period, moisture content of sponge cake with increasing yacon syrup concentration decreased during storage, whereas the decreasing moisture content was less than that of YS 0. The color of sponge cake with various yacon syrup concentrations did not change significantly during storage. Springiness and cohesiveness decreased during storage. Hardness increased with storage period, whereas that of sponge cake made with yacon syrup was lower than that of YS 0. In conclusion, sponge cake made with YS 10 is the best to make sponge cake with high consumer acceptance, reduced sugar content, and FOS.

The effect of different steamed garlic powder concentrations on sponge cake quality were investigated by analyzing both physicochemical and sensory properties. The sponge cakes were mixed with either steamed and freeze-dried garlic powders at different ratio [0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 % (w/flow w)]. The density of the prepared dough increased with increasing amounts of steamed garlic powder when the concentrations were over 4%. The heights of the sponge cakes ranged from $3.53{\pm}0.12{\sim}3.60{\pm}0.15cm$ in the $4{\sim}8%$ steamed garlic powder samples, and were significantly higher than the control. The specific loaf volume of the cake was $3.86{\pm}0.07mL/g$ the highest in the 4% steamed garlic powder samples. When the garlic powder concentration was over the 6%, the specific loaf volumes of the sponge cakes decreased with increases in garlic powder contents. The measured L- and b-values of the crust were significantly decreased with increasing garlic powder concentration while the a-value gradually increased. The L-value of the crumb increased with increasing steamed garlic powder concentration, especially at concentrations greater than 4%. The a-values were higher in the steamed garlic powder treatments than in the control. however, no significant differences were found in the concentrations over 4%. The hardness of the control was $812.42{\pm}56.69g/cm^2$, whereas it ranged from $1005.36{\pm}43.65{\sim}1522.78{\pm}204.95g/cm^2$ in the experimental groups. Hardness increased with increasing garlic powder concentration. When considering moistness, overall acceptability, and other characteristics, the optimal concentration of steamed garlic powder was found to be 4%.

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.

This study investigated the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of sponge cakes made using different amounts (2 and 4%) of barley sprout powder (BSP) and green tea powder (GTP), respectively. The results showed that the baking loss rate of GS2 (2% green tea) and GS4 (4% green tea) was 12.39% and 11.96%, respectively in the green tea addition group, which was higher than that of the barley sprout group, but significantly lower than that of the control group at 13.34% (p<0.05). The specific volumes of the sponge cake containing barley sprout and green tea 2% and 4% were between 2.84-2.95 mL/g, which was significantly higher compared to the control group at 2.69 mL/g (p<0.05). The sugar content was significantly higher in the control group and the barley sprout addition group at 2.30°Brix (p<0.05). As for the volume index, the control group with the lowest value at 13.43 showed a significant difference compared to the addition groups. The volume index significantly decreased as the addition amount increased, measuring 14.07 in BS4 (4% BSP) compared to 14.87 of BS2 (2% BSP) in the barley sprout group (p<0.05). In cross-sectional photography, the color became darker than that of the control group as the quantum of additives increased. In terms of the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity, the total phenol content, and total flavonoid content, the groups with the addition of barley sprout and green tea showed higher antioxidant activity than the control group (p<0.05).
