Halm J, Sahin AW, Nyhan L, Zannini E, Arendt EK. Commercial Egg Replacers in Pound Cake Systems: A Comprehensive Analysis of Market Trends and Application. Foods 2024; 13:292. [PMID: 38254593 PMCID: PMC10814760 DOI: 10.3390/foods13020292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Replacing eggs without influencing pound cakes' texture, appearance, and taste is challenging. Ovalbumin, the major protein in egg white, contributes to the structures of cakes by providing SH Groups that form a firm gel during baking. However, there is a shift in the consumers' behaviour regarding health, well-being, animal welfare standards, and environmental concerns. To meet upcoming trends and consumer needs, 102 egg replacement products were launched globally to the best of the authors' knowledge, with 20 of them advertised as suitable for baking applications. Ten locally available commercial egg replacers with a range of protein contents were chosen and applied in a pound cake model system to evaluate their functionality by evaluating cake and cake batter quality. Three different categories of egg replacements were chosen: replacers containing no protein (R1-R3), a low amount of protein (1-10 g/100 g; R4-R5), and a high amount of protein (>10 g/100 g; R6-R10). Those were compared to three control cakes containing powdered whole egg, fresh egg, and liquid whole egg. All the analysed egg replacers significantly differed from the control cakes, including low-protein egg replacement R4. Despite R4 achieving the highest specific volume (1.63 ± 0.07 mL/g) and comparable texture values, none of the examined egg replacers compared favourably with the egg control cakes regarding appearance, physical and textural properties, and nutritional value.

Approaches to Enhance Sugar Content in Foods: Is the Date Palm Fruit a Natural Alternative to Sweeteners? Foods 2023; 13:129. [PMID: 38201157 PMCID: PMC10778573 DOI: 10.3390/foods13010129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The current levels of added sugars in processed foods impact dental health and contribute to a range of chronic non-communicable diseases, such as overweight, obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This review presents sugars and sweeteners used in food processing, the current possibility to replace added sugars, and highlights the benefits of using dates as a new natural, nutritious and healthy alternative to synthetic and non-nutritive sweeteners. In the context of environmental sustainability, palm groves afford a propitious habitat for a diverse array of animal species and assume a pivotal social role by contributing to the provisioning of sustenance and livelihoods for local communities. The available literature shows the date as an alternative to added sugars due to its composition in macro and micronutrients, especially in bioactive components (fiber, polyphenols and minerals). Therefore, dates are presented as a health promoter and a preventative for certain diseases with the consequent added value. The use of damaged or unmarketable dates, due to its limited shelf life, can reduce losses and improve the sustainability of date palm cultivation. This review shows the potential use dates, date by-products and second quality dates as sugar substitutes in the production of sweet and healthier foods, in line with broader sustainability objectives and circular economy principles.

Abstract
Successful sucrose replacement in cake systems requires thorough understanding of its functionality. Time-domain 1H NMR showed that water in the viscous aqueous phase isolated from cake batter by ultracentrifugation [i.e. the batter liquor (BL)] exhibits low mobility by its low T2 relaxation time (T2,D RT). This is due to its interactions with sucrose or sucrose replacers. The T2,D RT itself is positively related with the effective volumetric hydrogen bond density of sucrose or sucrose replacers. Sucrose additionally co-determines the quantity and viscosity of cake BL and thereby how much air the batter contains at the end of mixing. Like sucrose, maltitol and oligofructose provide adequate volumes of BL with low water mobility and thus sufficient air in the batter, while the rather insoluble mannitol and inulin do not. Differential scanning calorimetry and rapid viscosity analysis revealed, however, that, in contrast to sucrose and maltitol, oligofructose fails to provide appropriate timings of starch gelatinisation and protein denaturation, resulting in poor cake texture. The shortcomings of mannitol and oligofructose in terms of respectively ensuring appropriate gas content in batter and biopolymer transitions during baking can be overcome by using mixtures thereof. This work shows that successful sucrose substitutes or substitute mixtures must provide sufficient BL with low water mobility and ensure appropriate timings of starch and protein biopolymer transitions during baking.

Abstract
The pasting and retrogradation behaviors of starch are altered by the presence of sugars and are important in dictating the storage stability and texture of starch-containing foods. The use of oligosaccharides (OS) and allulose in reduced-sugar formulations is being explored. The objectives of this study were to determine the impacts of different types and concentrations (0% to 60% w/w) of OS (fructo-OS, gluco-OS, isomalto-OS, gluco-dextrin, and xylo-OS) and allulose on the pasting and retrogradation attributes of wheat starch compared to starch in water (control) or sucrose solutions using DSC and rheometry. Physicochemical properties of the additives and their effects on amylose leaching were also considered. Significant differences in starch pasting, retrogradation, and amylose leaching were found between the control and additive solutions, influenced by additive type and concentration. Allulose increased starch paste viscosity and promoted retrogradation over time (60% conc. PV = 7628 cP; ΔHret, 14 = 3.18 J/g) compared to the control (PV = 1473 cP; ΔHret, 14 = 2.66 J/g) and all OS (PV = 14 to 1834 cP; ΔHret,14 = 0.34 to 3.08 J/g). In the allulose, sucrose, and xylo-OS solutions, compared to the other OS types, the gelatinization and pasting temperatures of starch were lower, more amylose leaching occurred, and pasting viscosities were higher. Increasing OS concentrations elevated gelatinization and pasting temperatures. In most 60% OS solutions these temperatures exceeded 95 °C thereby preventing starch gelatinization and pasting in the rheological analysis, and in conditions relevant for inhibiting starch gelatinization in low moisture-sweetened products. Fructose-analog additives (allulose and fructo-OS) promoted starch retrogradation more than the other additives, while xylo-OS was the only additive that limited retrogradation across all OS concentrations. The correlations and quantitative findings from this study will assist product developers in selecting health-promoting sugar replacer ingredients that impart desirable texture and shelf-life properties in starch-containing foods.

Abstract
Interest in products with more natural ingredients increases the potential for application of Biosurfactants in foods. The aim of the present study was to assess the toxicity of biosurfactant produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae URM6670 and the effect of the incorporation of this biosurfactant on the physicochemical and textural characteristics of cookies and muffins, performing unprecedented assessment of the sensorial effects of this application. The toxicity analysis revealed that the biosurfactant is classified as a mild irritant, with irritation indices lower than 4.9. The physical analysis of the incorporation of the biosurfactant in the formulation revealed that the addition of 1% to cookies significantly increased the diameter and spread factor. In muffins, significant changes in these properties were found beginning at 0.25% biosurfactant. The moisture content in cookies was reduced by a maximum of 74%, while in muffins this reduction was approximately 6%. The lipid content increased significantly with the addition of 1% of the biosurfactant (11% in cookies and 25% in muffins). The textural analysis revealed that the biosurfactant at 1% led to a significant increase in firmness as a consequence of the reduction in the moisture content. In muffins, the same concentration increased the firmness and variables related to chewability. The sensory analysis revealed that the muffins with biosurfactant had greater acceptance compared to the cookies. Thus, the biosurfactant demonstrated potential application in bakery products due to low toxicity and positive evaluation in important sensorial parameters for its commercialisation.

Impact of Baking Powder and Leavening Acids on Batter and Pound Cake Properties. Foods 2023; 12:foods12050946.

Abstract
In most soft wheat products such as cakes, baking powder (BP) plays an important role in achieving the desired product volume through batter aeration by the release of CO2 during baking. However, the optimization of a blend of constituents in BP is minimally documented, especially the selection of acids, which is often supported by the suppliers based on their experience. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of two sodium acid pyrophosphate leavening acids (SAPP10 and SAPP40) at different levels in BP on final pound cake properties. A central composite design of the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to design the blend ratio of SAPP with different amounts of BP to investigate some selected cake parameters such as specific volume and conformation. Results showed that increasing the BP level significantly increased the batter specific volume and porosity but dropped as BP approached maximum (4.52%). The batter pH was influenced by SAPP type; SAPP40 presented a relatively sufficient neutralization of the leaving system as compared to SAPP10. Furthermore, lower BP levels resulted in cakes with large air cells, which presented a non-homogeneous crumb grain. This study therefore highlights the need to identify the optimum amount of BP to attain the desired product qualities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The granular integrity of starch granules is affected by the mechanical action of the milling-process, thus producing what is called damaged starch (DS). The effect of DS on bakery products was extensively studied, but there is not much information about the effect of this minor flour component on batter-type products in which there is a high amount of sucrose. The objective of this work was to study the influence of damaged wheat-starch on starch and starch-gluten systems dispersed in water and sucrose 500 g kg-1 solution. RESULTS Thermal and pasting properties and the viscoelastic behavior of the systems were evaluated. Gelatinization enthalpy decreased when DS amount increased in the samples in both solvents. In starch-gluten systems, the degree of influence of DS on the gelatinization enthalpy was solvent-dependent. The presence of gluten minimized the effect of DS on the gelatinization process in water. The viscosity profile of starch and starch-gluten samples was reduced in both solvents when DS level increased. The influence of DS on the viscosity profile was solvent-dependent in starch-gluten systems. The presence of gluten lessened the influence of DS on the viscosity profile during the pasting process in sucrose solution. Higher DS levels decreased the viscoelastic behavior of the systems in both solvents and further reduced the viscoelastic behavior of the systems in sucrose solution. CONCLUSION These results contribute to understanding the influence of the DS levels on the batter properties of flour-based batter-type products, mainly those generated on starch and gluten-starch systems dispersed in sucrose solution. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of purified pea ingredients (starch and protein isolate) by assessing their potential to form volatile compounds during the different steps of sponge cake development compared to pea flour and wheat flour. While pea flour was highly susceptible to lipid oxidation during batter beating, the combination of purified pea starch and pea protein yielded significantly fewer oxidation markers with known green-beany off-odors. This was due more to the inactivation of lipoxygenase during flour fractionation than to differences in batter structure. However, fractionated ingredients were highly prone to participating in the Maillard reaction and caramelization during baking, leading to a more complex mixture of pyrazines, Strecker aldehydes and furanic compounds with potential malty and roasted notes compared to cakes based on pea flour or wheat flour. These findings confirm that using purified pea fractions can create high-quality products with an attractive composition.

Abstract
There is an increasing demand for gluten-free products around the world because certain groups of people, which have increased in the last decades, need to eliminate gluten from their diet. A growing number of people consider gluten-free products to be healthier. However, making gluten-free products such as bread is a technological challenge due to the important role of the gluten network in their development. However, other products, such as cakes and cookies usually made with wheat flour, can easily be made with gluten-free starches or flours since gluten does not play an essential role in their production. To replace wheat flour in these elaborations it is necessary to resort to gluten-free starches and/or flours and to gluten substitutes. Additionally, it can be convenient to incorporate other ingredients such as proteins, fibers, sugars or oils, as well as to modify their quantities in wheat flour formulations. Regarding gluten-free flours, it will also be necessary to know the parameters that influence their functionality in order to obtain regular products. These problems have originated a lower availability of gluten-free products which have a worse texture and are less tasty and more expensive than their homologues with gluten. These problems have been partially solved thanks to research on these types of products, their ingredients and their production methods. In recent years, studies about the nutritional improvement of these products have increased. This chapter delves into the main ingredients used in the production of gluten-free products, the processes for making gluten-free breads, cakes and cookies, and the nutritional quality of these products.

Sugar Levels Determine Fermentation Dynamics during Yeast Pastry Making and Its Impact on Dough and Product Characteristics. Foods 2022; 11:foods11101388.

Abstract
Fermented pastry products are produced by fermenting and baking multi-layered dough. Increasing our knowledge of the impact of the fermentation process during pastry making could offer opportunities for improving the production process or end-product quality, whereas increasing our knowledge on the sugar release and consumption dynamics by yeast could help to design sugar reduction strategies. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of yeast fermentation and different sugar concentrations on pastry dough properties and product quality characteristics. First, yeasted pastry samples were made with 8% yeast and 14% sucrose on a wheat flour dry matter base and compared to non-yeasted samples. Analysis of saccharide concentrations revealed that sucrose was almost entirely degraded by invertase in yeasted samples after mixing. Fructans were also degraded extensively, but more slowly. At least 23.6 ± 2.6% of the released glucose was consumed during fermentation. CO2 production during fermentation contributed more to product height development than water and ethanol evaporation during baking. Yeast metabolites weakened the gluten network, causing a reduction in dough strength and extensibility. However, fermentation time had a more significant impact on dough rheology parameters than the presence of yeast. In balance, yeast fermentation did not significantly affect the calculated sweetness factor of the pastry product with 14% added sucrose. Increasing the sugar content (21%) led to higher osmotic stress, resulting in reduced sugar consumption, reduced CO2 and ethanol production and a lower product volume. A darker colour and a higher sweetness factor were obtained. Reducing the sugar content (7%) had the opposite effect. Eliminating sucrose from the recipe (0%) resulted in a shortened productive fermentation time due to sugar depletion. Dough rheology was affected to a limited extent by changes in sucrose addition, although no sucrose addition or a very high sucrose level (21%) reduced the maximum dough strength. Based on the insights obtained in this study, yeast-based strategies can be developed to improve the production and quality of fermented pastry.

Abstract
As the demand for gluten-free products increases, the use of sorghum flour becomes a good alternative. Sponge cakes are consumed worldwide and suitable for formulations that could replace wheat flour. One of the most influential parameters on sponge cake quality is the flour particle size. In this study, we obtained and characterized different flours by milling white and brown sorghum grains and evaluated the influence of flour characteristics on batter properties and gluten-free sponge cake quality. Flours were produced by pearling, milling and sifting; and were characterized for flour composition, particle size distribution, damaged starch and water absorption. The structure, density, and viscosity of the batters; and specific volume and crumb properties of the sponge cake were evaluated. The results showed that flour composition, and properties were modified by the milling processes. Pasting viscosity increased as the particle size of the flours was reduced. Brown or white sorghum flour with smaller particle size produced high density and viscosity batters with small and homogeneous air bubbles distribution. Independently of the sorghum variety used, smaller particle size flour leads to sponge cakes of high volume and low firmness.

Abstract
The impact of free wheat flour lipids on air-liquid interface stability during sponge cake making was investigated. Therefore, the molecular population at the air-liquid interface in batters prepared with flour of which part of the lipids had been either relocated or removed prior to batter preparation was determined. Surface-active molecules were isolated from batter using a foam separation protocol. Diluted batter was whipped and the resulting foam was used as model system for the air-liquid interface in sponge cake batter. Relocating flour lipids prior to batter making enabled them to adsorb at the air-liquid interface in the foam. This limited the degree of protein adsorption at the air-liquid interface, but it did not impact the composition of the adsorbed protein population. Removing flour lipids prior to batter making resulted in foam containing relatively higher levels of lipids mainly originating from egg yolk. Prior removal of flour lipids impacted neither foam protein content nor foam protein composition. The resultant molecular population improved air-liquid interface stability in sponge cake batter. Thus, free wheat flour lipids and wheat flour lipids set free by solvent treatment decrease air-liquid interface stability in sponge cake batter mainly because they limit protein adsorption and, as such, interfere with the protein-dominated interface.

The Role of Intact and Disintegrated Egg Yolk Low-Density Lipoproteins during Sponge Cake Making and Their Impact on Starch and Protein Mediated Structure Setting. Foods 2021; 10:foods10010107.

Abstract
The main sponge cake ingredients are flour, sucrose, eggs and leavening agents. Exogenous lipids (e.g., monoacylglycerols) are often used to increase air-liquid interface stability in the batter. There is a consumer trend to avoid foods containing such additives. We here reasoned that egg yolk may be an alternative source of surface-active lipids and set out to study the role of egg yolk lipids during sponge cake making. This was done by relocating or removing them prior to batter preparation using ethanol treatments and examining how this affects cake (batter) properties and structure setting during baking. Most egg yolk lipids occur within spherical low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) which were disintegrated by the ethanol treatments. Results showed that egg yolk lipids impact air-liquid interface stability and less so cake structure setting. To prepare high-quality sponge cakes by multistage mixing preferably intact LDLs or, alternatively, their components are needed to incorporate sufficient air during mixing and to stabilize it after mixing. It was also shown that the batter contains intact LDLs in the continuous phase and disintegrated LDLs at air-liquid interfaces. Sponge cake contains intact LDLs in the cake matrix, disintegrated LDLs at air-crumb interfaces and disintegrated LDLs incorporated into the protein network.

Abstract
While it is well established that using exogenous lipids (ELs) such as monoacylglycerols and polyglycerolesters of fatty acids improves gas cell incorporation and stability in sponge cake batter (SCB) and allows producing sponge cakes (SCs) with very high volume, fine grained crumb and soft texture, their impact on starch gelatinization and protein polymerization remained unknown. Here, differential scanning calorimetry and size-exclusion high performance liquid chromatography were performed on SC(B) samples prepared with or without ELs. Starch gelatinization and protein denaturation and polymerization started at temperatures exceeding 67 °C and mostly occurred up to a temperature of 96 °C. During further isothermal treatment at 96 °C the rigidity of the cake matrix (for which temperature-controlled time domain 1H NMR T2 relaxation times are a predictor) further increased mainly because of protein polymerization. While the temperature range of starch crystal melting was not affected by the use of ELs, protein polymerized more intensively in an 88 to 94 °C temperature range when SCB contained ELs. The more intense protein polymerization and the high water binding capacity of ELs presumably made the cake matrix more rigid at that point in time. The present results allow concluding that ELs not only impact air-liquid interface stability but also cake structure setting. Hence, both aspects most likely contribute to the superior quality of SCs containing ELs.

High-Quality Gluten-Free Sponge Cakes without Sucrose: Inulin-Type Fructans as Sugar Alternatives. Foods 2020; 9:foods9121735.

Abstract
Due to its structural and organoleptic functions, sucrose is one of the primary ingredients of many baked confectionery products. In turn, the growing awareness of the association between sugar overconsumption and the development of chronic diseases has prompted the urgent need to reduce the amount of refined sugar in foods. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of complete sucrose replacement with inulin-type fructans (ITFs), namely fructooligosaccharide (FOS), inulin (INU) or oligofructose-enriched inulin (SYN), with different degrees of polymerization on the technological parameters and sensory quality of gluten-free sponge cakes (GFSs). The use of ITFs as the sole sweetening ingredient resulted in the similar appearance of the experimental GFSs to that of the control sample. In addition, all GFSs containing ITFs had similar height, while their baking weight loss was significantly (p < 0.05) lower compared to the control products. The total sugar exchange for long-chain INU increased the crumb hardness, while the crumb of the GFS with FOS was as soft as of the control products. The sensory analysis showed that the GFS containing FOS obtained the highest scores for the overall quality assessment, similar to the sugar-containing control sponge cake. The results obtained prove that sucrose is not necessary to produce GFSs with appropriate technological parameters and a high sensory quality. Thus, it can be concluded that sucrose can be successfully replaced with ITF, especially with FOS, in this type of baked confectionery product.

Abstract
We review the functionality of sucrose during the manufacture of cakes from the perspective of sugar replacement. Besides providing sweetness, sucrose has important functionalities concerning structure formation. These functionalities also need to be mimicked in reformulated cakes. First, we review the hypotheses, concerning the development of structure and texture of cakes during manufacturing, which are conveniently summarized in a qualitative way using the Complex Dispersed Systems methodology. Subsequently, we represent the changes of the state of the cake during manufacturing in a supplemented state diagram, which indicates the important phase transitions occurring during baking. From the analysis, we have learned that sucrose act both as a plasticizer and as a humectant, modifying the phase transitions of biopolymers, dough viscosity, and water activity. If sugar replacers exactly mimick this behavior of sucrose, similar textures in reformulated cakes can be obtained. Physical theories exist for characterizing the plasticizing and hygroscopic behavior of sugars and their replacers. We have shown that the starch gelatinization and egg white denaturation can be predicted by the volumetric density of hydrogen bonds present in the solvent, consisting of water, sugar or its replacers, such as polyols or amino-acids.

Abstract
This review paper describes our exploratory experimental studies on the functionality of sucrose and other sugars in cake-baking, and effects on cake quality. We have used the American Association of Cereal Chemists Method 10-90.01 as a base cake-baking method, and have applied Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Rapid Visco-Analyzer, and time-lapse photography analyses in experimental design studies of the effects of the following ingredient and formulation variables on cake quality (e.g. texture, color, moisture content) and other finished-product properties (e.g. shape, dimensions): (a) cake formula levels of sucrose and water, in terms of %Sucrose and Total Solvent; (b) concentration of sucrose or other sugars (e.g. xylose, ribose, fructose, glucose, maltose, polydextrose) vs. wheat flour starch gelatinization temperature and starch pasting during baking and gluten development during mixing; (c) unchlorinated flour vs. chlorinated flours (of varying pH); (d) cake formula %Sucrose and TS vs. cake color, shape, and dimensions; (e) cakes formulated with sucrose or other sugars (i.e. xylose, fructose, glucose), and variable %S and TS, and unchlorinated or chlorinated flour (pH 4.6), vs. cake color, shape, and dimensions.
