In this project, low-fat composite (wheat-millet) cup cake was produced. Fenugreek seed gum (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1%) was used as a fat replacer in levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 %. specific gravity and consistency of batter and moisture, specific volume, porosity, firmness (2 hours and 1 week after baking), crust color and sensory properties of chiffon cake were measured. The sample containing 0.25% Fenugreek seed gum had the lowest specific gravity and firmness and the highest specific volume, porosity, L* value and overall acceptability score. Also, the result showed the technological and sensory properties of sample containing 0.25% Fenugreek seed gum was similar to control. Moisture and a* value were increased and b* value was decreased by increasing Fenugreek seed gum. Finally, the removal of 50% of oil in chiffon cake formulation was performed successfully.
