Researchers are always attempt to produce bread with longer shelf life and high quality. Aware of the harmful effects of chemicals additives increased consumer tend to use natural additives. The aim of this project was the production of cake (wheat-millet) containing different levels of Persian gum or Zedu (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1%). Viscosity of dough and moisture, specific volume, firmness, crust color and sensory properties were evaluated. Viscosity and moisture were increased by increasing of Persian gum in cake formulation. The sample containing 0.6% Persian gum had the lowest firmness and the highest specific volume, L* and score of sensory properties. A* and b* values of samples containing gum did not have significant difference (P<0.05). Micro-structure of sample containing 0.6% Persian gum was compared by Micro-structure of blank (sample without Persian gum). The sample containing gum had uniformed structure compared to blank.

In this project, low-fat composite (wheat-quinoa) cup cake was produced. Plantago major L. gum and water (1.5-7.5, 3-15, 4.5-22.5 and 6 -30%) was used as a fat replacer in levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 % in cup- cake. PH, specific gravity, viscosity, moisture, firmness, crust color and overall acceptability were evaluated. PH and b* value were decrease and moisture and a* value were increased by increasing of Barhang gum. The samples containing 1.5 and 3 % gum had the lowest specific gravity and the highest specific volume and L* value. Also, the highest viscosity was indicated in the sample containing 3 % gum. On the other hand, the sample containing 3 % gum had the lowest firmness in 2 hours and 1 week after baking. Finally, the samples containing 1.5 and 3 % gum had the best overall acceptability. Therefore, it can be said that the removal of 50% of oil in cake formulation was performed successfully. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.
