How the inclusion of cod (Pseudophycis bachus) protein enriched powder to bread affects the in vitro protein and starch digestibility, amino acid profiling and antioxidant properties of breads

The aim of the present study was to incorporate Pseudophycis bachus powder (cod fish powder—CFP) into bread with different levels (5%, 10% and 15%), and evaluate the physical (moisture, volume), technological (texture and colour), nutritional (amino acid content, protein and starch digestibility), and nutraceutical (total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity) properties of the fortified breads compared with a control bread. Partial substitution of wheat flour with CFP improved the nutritional and nutraceutical properties of bread. The results showed that fortification of wheat flour with CFP reduced the predictive glycaemic index of bread. Additionally, bread with CFP showed an increased (p < 0.05) protein digestibility and protein quality in terms of an increased corrected amino acid score (CAAS). Moreover, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of bread samples were increased with CFP addition. Thus, enrichment of bread with CFP may be a significant alternative to the food industry to deliver nutritionally enriched bread.

Addition of Whole Barley Flour as a Partial Substitute of Wheat Flour to Enhance the Nutritional Value of Biscuits

Barley has widely known as an excellent source of dietary fiber. In this investigation, biscuits were prepared by substituting wheat flour (WF) with whole barley flour (WBF) at levels 20 and 40% as an attempt to improve the nutritional and functional quality of biscuits. Chemical, antioxidant, rheological, sensory and microbial properties were assessed. The blending with WBF, even at low ratio of inclusion (20%), caused an increase in protein, ash and crude fiber contents. The antioxidant activity was 41.5% in barley flour whereas it was only 2.03% in wheat flour, it was lowered to 1.35% in control biscuits and reached to the maximum 12.6% in biscuits prepared with 40% WBF. Water absorption, dough development and arrival time increased progressively with the elevation in WBF ratio. The lower level of WBF (20%) increased the stability of the dough. Extension, expansibility rheology and the dough energy were shortened with the increasing of WBF ratio. WBF-wheat biscuits up to the replacement ratio 40% possessed a high acceptance rating but the higher level (40%) resulted in lowering the surface color and appearance scores. The higher level (40%) incorporated into biscuits decreased the microbial load (Total bacterial, Spore-forming bacteria & Mold and yeast counts) during storage period.

Physico-chemical and Sensory Properties of Bread Prepared from Wheat and Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potato (Flour, Starch and Non-Starch Residue Flour) Blends

Bread was produced from wheat (Trititum spp) orange flesh sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) flour, starch and non-starch residue blends. The orange-fleshed sweet potatoes were washed, peeled, sliced, dried and milled to flour. The starch and non-starch residue were also produced from the orange-fleshed sweet potatoes. Different proportions of wheat and flour, wheat and starch and wheat and non-starch residue of orange-fleshed sweet potato with increasing level of orange-fleshed sweet potato at 10, 20, 30 and 40% addition in wheat were prepared. Control samples were 100% wheat flour (A0), 100% orange-fleshed sweet potato flour (A1), 100% orange-fleshed sweet potato starch (B1) and 100% orange-fleshed sweet potato non-starch residue (C1). Breads from these different proportions were formulated. The proximate, mineral, vitamin, physical properties and sensory attributes of the bread samples and their composites were determined. The GENSTAT Statistical Software (version 17.0) was used for data analyses. The Proximate compositions of the bread ranges as follows; moisture 26.30-36.21%, protein 0.85-7.89%, fat 6.33-8.93%, fiber 0.82-4.92%, ash 0.56-2.11% and carbohydrates 41.26-64.84%. The physical properties of the breads ranged from 210.60-254.00 g, 0.05-2.40 mm, 317.60-440.60 cm3 and 1.25-2.10 for loaf weight, oven spring, loaf volume and specific volume respectively. Mineral and vitamin composition for breads samples ranged respectively thus for calcium 18.45-33.21 zinc 0.92-6.27, magnesium 0.28-19.33, phosphorus 31.00-319.60 and potassium 56.30-352.60, vitamin B1, 0.10-0.37, vitamin B2, 0.07-1.23, vitamin B6, 0.09-1.25, vitamin B12 0.04-1.13 mg/100 g, vitamin C 0.12-14.17 mg/100 g and vitamin A 0.00-8193 µg/100 g.The sensory evaluation results indicated that up to 20% substitution of wheat flour with orange-fleshed sweet potato flour, starch and non-starch residue flours was acceptable in bread formulation.

Effect of orange-fleshed sweet potato flour particle size and degree of wheat flour substitution on physical, nutritional, textural and sensory properties of cookies

Orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) flour is rich in health-promoting compounds that can improve the nutritional benefits of baked products when blended with wheat flour. However, the flour particle size and blend proportion may affect the quality properties and consumer acceptability of bakery products. This study investigated the effect of flour particle sizes and blend proportions on the physical, nutritional, textural and sensory properties of peeled and unpeeled OFSP composite flour cookies. Peeled and unpeeled OFSP flours (≤ 250 μm and ≤ 500 μm particle size) were produced, and each was used to replace soft wheat flour at the rate of 0 to 100% for cookies formulation. The results obtained showed that substitution of wheat flour with OFSP flours significantly (p < 0.05) decreased cookies baking loss, thickness, volume, crust lightness (L*) but increased diameter, spread ratio, crust redness, yellowness, contents of ß-carotene, vitamin A, ascorbic acid, total phenolics and flavonoids, and the antioxidant capacity. The hardness and fracturability of the OFSP-based cookies ranged between 1.389 and 10.142 kg and 0.873 and 9.431 kg, respectively, whereas the values of the control cookies were 1.281 ± 0.003 kg and 1.274 ± 0.003 kg, respectively. The effect of flour particle size on the physical and nutritional properties of cookies was insignificant (p > 0.05). However, the ≤ 250 μm particle size flour cookies had higher overall acceptability than the ≤ 500 μm particle size flour cookies. The unpeeled OFSP composite cookies had higher bioactive compounds concentrations except for ascorbic acid but had lower overall acceptability than the peeled OFSP cookies. Generally, the 30% peeled OFSP composite flour cookies had the highest consumer acceptability.

Utilization of millet flour as the basic material to make millcoff cake (millet coffee cake)

Indonesia is rich in local food sources of cereals, but imports of wheat continues to rise each year. Substitution of wheat flour is one solution to cope with the high number of imported wheat. The cereals that can be used as a substitute material is millet. The purpose of this study is to determine the right recipe, knowing the nutrient content and determine consumer acceptance of millcoff cake. Millcoff cake is a product made from sponge cake flavored coffee that is substituted with millet flour and stuffing mixed with avocado mouse. This type of research is the research and development with 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop and Desimination). Selection of the recipe selected based on the sensory properties of the 4 aspects of color, taste, texture and aroma. Furthermore, the three treatments on prescription elected in substitution of millet flour that is 30%, 40% and 50%. The results showed that the chosen cake is cake with millet flour substitution as much as 50% because it has characteristics which approach control and still be acceptable to consumers. Nutrient content contained in cake millcoff showed 17.9897% carbohydrate content, protein content 7.6541% 14.6541% fat content, moisture content and ash content of 53.0830% 0.9202%.

Substitution of fishbone powder in the development of choco chips cookies

The increase in Indonesia’s fish consumption has led to an increase in fishery industry waste, such as fish bones. Fishbones contain sodium, phosphorus, and calcium, which are essential for the human body. Therefore, fish bones are then processed into fishbone powder. Fishbone powder can substitute wheat flour in cookies development. This study aimed to evaluate choco chips cookies’ sensory characteristics that have been substituted by fishbone powder from patin fish, mackerel fish, and snakehead fish. This study employed a research and development methods, with a 4D development model (define, design, develop, and disseminate). The substitution of wheat flour to fishbone powder in choco chips cookies was 7%, 10%, and 12%. The characteristic sensory analysis was carried out by one trained panelist and five semi-trained panelists. The hedonic test was conducted by two trained panelists and 30 untrained panelists. The sensory analysis results showed that the substitution of 10% fish bone powder in choco chips cookies did not show a significant effect from wheat flour cookies (p≤0.05) in terms of color, aroma, texture, taste, and overall.

Effect of Amaranthus leaf powder addition on the nutritional composition, physical quality and consumer acceptability of instant noodles

Noodles are a popular starchy food among youth and children. However, they are not nutritionally adequate as a single meal. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of Amaranthus leaf powder (ALP) addition on the nutritional composition, physical quality and consumer acceptability of instant noodles. Instant noodle samples were developed by partially substituting wheat flour used in a common noodle recipe with 1, 2 and 3% (w/w) of ALP. The samples were analyzed for nutritional composition using AOAC methods. Physical quality was evaluated in terms of color (CIELAB color values) and texture (g cutting force). Consumer acceptability was evaluated by 60 panelists using a 9-point hedonic scale. Increasing ALP from 0% to 3% had a non-significant effect on the total glycemic carbohydrate, protein, fiber and mineral contents of the noodles. However, the fat content significantly increased (from 1.55% to 4.57%) with the inclusion of ALP, leading to a higher energy value. ALP-fortified noodle samples were significantly softer in texture (271.39 g) than standard noodles (control) (609.08 g), and a significantly greener color was observed with ALP addition. All noodle samples were as acceptable as the control, which suggests that ALP could be used to improve the nutritional value of instant noodles.

Consumer Response to Cake with Apple Pomace as a Sustainable Source of Fibre.

The use of apple pomace flour (APF) as a fibre enrichment strategy was investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate consumers’ response to intrinsic and extrinsic properties of a bakery premix product when using APF. Apple pomace, a by-product from the juice industry, was dried and ground. APF is high in carbohydrates (47.47%) and fibre (38.48%), and it was used to partially substitute wheat flour and sugar in a cake premix. Acceptability, health, and nutrition questions were evaluated with and without information in terms of regular and fibre-enriched cake. The regular cake score was not affected by information, while the enriched cake’s score increased with information. Three clusters were identified. Cluster 1 (29%) showed high liking scores for regular cake, cluster 2 (31%) for the fibre-enriched cake, and cluster 3 (40%) showed similar liking for both. Consumers described the samples and ideal cake using a check-all-that-apply (CATA) questionnaire. Penalty analyses explained differences in acceptability among consumers. Healthiness, tastiness, and fibre content were the main reasons to buy the enriched cake for cluster 2; taste for consumers in cluster 1; and healthiness and taste for consumers in cluster 3. APF as a functional ingredient may be a consumers’ choice as a sustainable use of apple pomace.

Application of microwave and hydrothermal treatments for modification of cassava starch of Manipur region, India and development of cookies.

The cassava (Manihot esculenta) root provides sustainable cheap source of starch that can be modified using microwave and hydrothermal treatments. The modified starch is of great demand in the market for its varied food applications. The microwave modified wet milling dry chips starch, microwave modified pulp starch (MD-PS), microwave modified dry chips starch were the microwave treated starch obtained from starches of pulp starch (PS), wet milling dry chips starch and dry milling dry chips starch, respectively. On the other hand, by using hydrothermal treatment followed by freeze-drying in PS gave autoclave freeze-dried 10% PS (AF-10PS), autoclave freeze-dried 20% PS (AF-20PS). The physicochemical and functional properties of the samples were investigated. The calorific value of modified starch was found to be 341-358kcal/100g. The microwave-modified starch lowered true densities as compared to hydrothermal treated starch. FT-IR spectra of microwave-modified starch confirmed six prominent peaks between 4500-500cm-1. Thermal treatment affected the digestibility and found lower digestion resistibility in modified starch compared to native starch. The structures of the starch granules were more enzymatically susceptible in hydrothermally modified starch. The microwave-modified starch resulted higher resistant starch as compared to hydrothermally modified starch. The cookies quality using MD-PS was checked by developing with 10-40% level of substitution of wheat flour. Overall cookies acceptability was found above sensory score 5. This study will help to provide functional ingredients that serve health benefit beyond nutrition.

Protein enrichment of wheat bread with the marine green microalgae Tetraselmis chuii – Impact on dough rheology and bread quality

Marine green microalgae are a sustainable source of high-quality protein. However, due to their green pigmentation and composition of volatiles, their incorporation into food products is a challenge. Incorporation of cell-wall disrupted Tetraselmis chuii (Tc) into bread (0, 4, 8, 12 and 16% wheat flour substitution) affected dough rheology and bread quality negatively. These effects were more pronounced at addition levels necessary for a EFSA nutrition claim on protein enrichment (12 and 16%). Treatment of Tc with ethanol not only removed much of the green pigmentation and volatiles, but also reduced the negative impact on dough rheology and bread quality. Doughs prepared with ethanol treated Tc (TcEt) showed a clear improvement in dough rheology evident as increased dough-stability-time (DST), resistance to extension (Rmax) and elastic-recovery-compliance (Je) particularly at substitution levels >4%. This was accompanied by an increase in bread quality e.g. at 12% substitution level specific volume increased from 2.1 to 2.69 mL/g, crumb firmness decreased from 1358 to 297 g and slice brightness increased from 25.2 to 49.0. Ethanol treatment of algae may be a feasible strategy to address the sensory and structural challenges that hinder incorporation of algae into foods at levels that can potentially confer nutritional benefits.

Production of Monascus pigments by solid-state cultivation of wheat grains and application in bread formulations

The aim of this work was to obtain modified wheat flour containing a red pigment obtained by solid state cultivation of wheat grains by Monascus ruber, and produce bread with the partial substitution of the white wheat flour with fermented wheat flour. The wheat grains were moistened, sterilized in an autoclave, inoculated and incubated at 30 °C for 14 days. Five, 10 and 15% of fermented flour were added to the white flour and the mixtures submitted to the analytical determinations. Bread loaves were then produced using the pure white wheat flour and using the white flour with the addition of 5, 10 and 15% of fermented flour. The loaves produced were submitted to analyses of their dimensions, specific volumes, crust and crumb colors, crust and crumb textures and an image analysis. The results showed that the F5%, F10% and F15% flours presented medium to strong strength. The F5% flour was considered ideal for the manufacture of bread, cake and pasta, and the F10% and F15% flours ideal for the manufacture of fermented biscuits, bread, cake and pasta. In addition, the data showed that the loaves produced had satisfactory technological characteristics and that their manufacture was therefore feasible.

Optimization of Ingredients for Biscuits Enriched with Rapeseed Press Cake—Changes in Their Antioxidant and Sensory Properties

The optimum formulation for wheat flour (WF)-based biscuits containing the rapeseed press cake (RPC)—the primary by-product of rapeseed oil production rich in phenolic compounds and different types of fats (rapeseed oil, margarine and coconut oil)—was estimated using the central composite design (CCD) with two factors and response surface methodology (RSM). Effects of partial substitution of WF for RPC (0–40 g) in a total flour blend (100 g) and fats with various amounts of saturated fatty acids (SAFA = 2.3–24.9 g) on antioxidant capacity (AC) and sensory characteristics (color, odor, texture, flavor, overall acceptability, and purchase intent scores) of the novel biscuits were investigated. Conventional solid (liquid)–liquid extraction and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) were applied to extract total antioxidants from main ingredients used for the preparation of doughs as well as the baked biscuits. The AC of biscuits and their components were determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The DPPH results were the highest for the RPC flour (DPPH = 15,358–15,630 μmol Trolox (TE)/100 g) and biscuits containing rapeseed oil and 40 g of RPC flour (DPPH = 7395–10,088 μmol TE/100 g). However, these biscuits had lower sensory scores for each attribute and the lowest purchase intent scores. The quadratic response surfaces were drawn from the mathematical models in order to ensure the good quality of the proposed biscuits with RPC. The DPPH results obtained and the mean sensory scores correlate with the predicted values (R2 = 0.7751–0.9969). The addition of RPC with high antioxidant potential to biscuits and the replacement of margarine or coconut oil by rapeseed oil interfered with their acceptability.

Effect of partially substituting wheat flour with fish bones powder on the properties and quality of noodles

Adding salmon (Salmo salar) fish bone powder (SBP), as a partial substitute for refined wheat flour in the production of fresh noodles, was developed as a method of utilizing a waste product from fish industry, reducing the use of wheat flour and enhancing the nutritional quality of the noodles. Refined wheat flour was partially substituted with salmon bone powder at 0, 5, 10, 15 or 20% of refined wheat flour. The noodles, made from these combinations, were then tested for their color, cooking quality, texture, chemical, sensory properties and level of microorganism during storage. The results indicated that as the amount of salmon bone powder increased, the appearance became yellowish and darker, the elasticity and softness of the noodles were decreased.Cooking quality; cooking time and cooking yield decreased while cooking loss was increased. When the noodles made from 15% salmon bone powder plus 85% refined wheat flour were tested their moisture content, protein, total carbohydrate, fat and ash were 36.45, 3.34, 43.60, 3.34, 6.74 g/100g, respectively and their calcium content also progressively increased with increasing levels of salmon bone powder in the refined wheat flour. The calcium content from noodles made from 15% salmon bone powder plus 85% refined wheat flour was 1.84 g/100g. The sensory evaluation in terms of appearance, color, odor, elasticity, softness, smoothness, taste and overall acceptability showed that the cooked noodles containing 15% salmon bone powder had similar characteristics to cooked noodles made from 100% refined wheat flour. Levels of microorganism including total plate count, yeasts and molds remained low,while Escherichia coli, Staphylococus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Samonella spp. were non-detected. All microorganism levels within acceptable levels and remained within criterion of microbiological quality standardization of foods and tableware announced by Department of Medical Science (No.3/2017) throughout the storage. Overall, the noodles retained acceptable quality for at least 9 days in refrigerator at 4±2oC.

The characteristics of cookies from sorghum flour and almond flour with variations in the type of fat

The substitution of wheat flour with almond flour and addition of vegetables fat can influence the final properties of cookies, enhance the taste, and eliminate skim milk use which produce lactose-free cookies. This study aims to determine the effect of different ratio of sorghum flour to almond flour and addition of various type of fat to the physical and chemical properties of cookies. This research used a factorial randomized block template (RBD) with study factors ratio of sorghum flour to almond flour (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1) and the form of fat added (margarine, VCO, and a mixture of margarine and VCO (1:1 w / w)). The findings showed that the ratio of sorghum flour and almond flour had a major effect on the ash, fat, dissolved protein, and reducing sugar content. Type of fat had a major impact on the ash, fat, and reducing sugar content. The best treatment in this study showed in a ratio of sorghum flour and almond flour of 1:1 using margarine with water content 3.08%, ash content 0.82%, fat content 36.65%, dissolved protein content of 1.27%, decreasing sugar content of 0.56%, and loaf volume of 92.04%.

The hardness analysis of noodles made from modified cassava flour, spirulina (Spirulina platensis) and basil leaves extract (Ocimum sanctum L.)

The alternative solution for high import costs of wheat flour is by substituting wheat flour with mocaf (modified cassava flour). Mocaf is a modification of cassava flour made by fermentation treatment using lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid or enzymes. However, mocaf has a low gluten and protein content so it might produce noodle products with a poor texture. Therefore, it is necessary to add other ingredients in order to increase protein content and change the appearance, one of which is fortification with spirulina. Spirulina has a natural aroma like the smell of fresh seaweed with a slightly fishy aroma that comes from the high protein content. Hence, it is necessary to add basil leaf extract which can give a distinctive smell of basil to overcome the fishy aroma of the noodles. This research was conducted to determine the texture of modified noodles from mocaf with the addition of spirulina and basil leaf extract using a texture analyzer. Based on the research conducted, it was found that the addition of basil and spirulina leaf extracts could affect the texture of mocaf noodles to become more chewy, dense and not easily broken.

Physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of gluten-free riceberry-cheese cracker under simulated gastrointestinal transit.

This study aimed to develop a gluten-free cracker by substituting wheat flour (WF) with riceberry flour (RB) combined with cheese's milk proteins to replace gluten. The effect of substitution of WF with RB at 50 and 100% (RB50 and RB100, respectively) on cracker properties were evaluated. The results showed that water activity, hunter colour value (L*), hardness, and thickness decreased with an increase in the RB content. This related to a compact structure and a weaker crystallinity of RB cracker when compared with WF-based cracker. The substitution of WF with RB50 and RB100 in cracker significantly (P < 0.05)increased the phytochemical content resulting in increased antioxidant properties.The synergistic effect of the bioactive compound of RB and the bioactive peptides originating from cheese's milk proteins on antioxidant capacity was observed under simulated GI digestion. The greatest increase in the ABTS•+ radical scavenging activity and reducing power was observed in the RB100 cracker at the intestinal digestive phase with the values of 15.74 ± 0.27 and 3.70 ± 0.06mg Trolox eq./g sample, respectively. The results suggest that the substituted 100% RB combined with cheese's milk proteins have a potentiality to be developed into a novel gluten-free product with enhanced antioxidant properties.

The Effects of Unripe Saba Banana Composite Flour on Acceptance and Physicochemical Characteristics of Biscuits

Biscuits are a popular staple food due to its variety of taste, crispiness and digestibility. Conventional biscuits are rich in carbohydrates, fats and calories but low in dietary fibre (DF), minerals and vitamins. Unripe banana contains high resistant starch (RS) which is beneficial for colon health and helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of substituting wheat flour (WF) with unripe Saba banana flour (USBF) to produce biscuits with sensory acceptance and characterising its physicochemical properties. A total of nine (9) formulations were developed by incorporating WF with USBF (10-90%). These formulations were tested for sensory acceptance with the best formulation then proceeded for physicochemical analysis. Sample F5 (50% USBF and 50% WF) was chosen as the best formulation and compared with the control biscuit (100% WF) for physicochemical characteristics. The comparison results showed that F5 biscuit had significant increment (p&lt;0.05) in ash (5.72%), RS (6.17%) and DF (6.26%) as well as significant reduction (p&lt;0.05) in moisture (2.78%) and protein (5.41%). In terms of texture, the hardness (883.33 g) of F5 biscuit was significantly reduced (p&lt;0.05). F5 Biscuits showed significant increase (p&lt;0.05) in RS and exhibited a good source of DF without diminishing its sensory acceptability.

Type and Amount of Legume Protein Concentrate Influencing the Technological, Nutritional, and Sensorial Properties of Wheat Bread

Plant protein concentrates are used to enhance the nutritional quality of bread and to respond to the demand of consumers with respect to increased protein intake. In the present study, bread samples were produced using pea protein concentrate (PP) and soy protein concentrate (SP) substituting wheat flour by 5%, 10%, and 15%. The protein levels were between 1.2- and 1.7-fold (PP) and 1.1- and 1.3-fold (SP) higher than the control bread. The incorporation of 10% and 15% PP allowed for the achievement of a “high protein” claim. Water absorption was correlated with the protein contents of the breads (r = 0.9441). The decrease in bread volume was higher for the PP than SP incorporations, and it was highly negatively correlated with the protein content (r = −0.9356). Soy breads had a softer crumb than pea breads. The total change in crumb colour was higher in the PP than SP breads. The soy breads had an overall acceptability between 6.3 and 6.8, which did not differ (p &gt; 0.05) from the control. PP breads were statistically less liked (p &lt; 0.05). The results underlined that the choice of the type and amount of protein concentrates influenced the bread properties differently.

Qualitative properties of cookies enriched with berries pomace

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the qualitative properties of cookies with the addition of raspberry, red currants and strawberry pomace flour. Cookies were prepared by substitution of wheat flour with berry pomace flour (10%, 15% and 20%) and evaluated in terms of their proximate composition, physical characteristics, and functional and sensory properties. Berry pomace-supplemented cookies had significantly higher dietary fibre content and different fibre fractions NDF (neutral detergent fibre), ADF (acid detergent fibre), MADF (insoluble fibre fraction of modified acid detergent solution) as well as WSCs (water soluble carbohydrates) content. Correlation analysis results showed that cookie hardness was significantly correlated with dietary fibre content. The raspberry, red currant and strawberry flours contained 49.88%, 33.13% and 24.25% of dietary fibre, respectively. The colour of the cookies was measured using a Color Flex spectrophotometer. The average L*, a*, and b* values ranged from 37.35 to 68.29, from 7.08 to 13.18, and from 20.12 to 34.73, respectively.

The Study of the Possibility of Using Low-Calorie Foods in the Technology of Flour Confectionery Production

The article demonstrates the advisability of substituting high-grade wheat flour in the formulation of a sponge cake semi-finished mix with the mix of oat, corn and gram flour. An oat, corn and gram flour mix contains much more protein than wheat flour. This mix contains a significant amount of globulin, which suggests an evident foaming capacity of protein systems and is a positive factor in the technology of making sponge cakes. When substituting wheat flour with the suggested mix completely, the nutritional value of finished products improves. The share of dietary fiber increases significantly; the calorie content of products decreases. Absence of gluten makes this mix a strategically important raw material for gluten-free products. It is recommended to use this recipe, since with a complete substitution of wheat flour, there is an improvement in organoleptic, physicochemical indicators of the quality of sponge cake batter and finished products. The use of oat, corn and gram flour leads to an extension of the shelf life of sponge cake semi-finished products and helps to reduce the energy value and increase the vitamin and mineral ones of finished products. The introduction of the mix of flour into the sponge cake batter recipe does not worsen the quality of sponge cakes during storage. The developed formulation can be adapted to the technological process and equipment installed at existing confectionery enterprises and does not require additional costs.
