This study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of rice flour sponge cakes containing 0, 20, 30, 40, and 50% Helianthus tuberosus powder (HTP). As HTP content of sponge cake increased, the pH of sponge cake batter significantly decreased, whereas specific gravity significantly increased (p<0.05). Meanwhile, volume and symmetry indices of sponge cake were inversely proportional to HTP amount. Further, with higher HTP content in sponge cake, L and b values of crumbs significantly decreased (p<0.05), whereas a value significantly increased (p<0.05). L, a, and b values of crust significantly increased with higher HTP content. For texture characteristics, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of sponge cake significantly increased (p<0.05),whereas cohesiveness did not significantly change. In the sensory evaluation test, rice sponge cake prepared with 10% HTP showed the highest sensory scores in terms of color, flavor, taste, softness properties, and overall preference. The levels of total polyphenol compounds and DPPH radical scavenging activities of rice sponge cakes significantly increased with higher HTP contents (p<0.05). The results of this study suggest that rice sponge cake containing 10% HTP is the most appropriate for quality characteristics and sensory evaluation. This study also provides a way to increase the quality, texture characteristics, and organoleptic properties of sponge cake while reducing HTP content to less than 10% in order to satisfy consumer tastes.

In this study the replacement of wheat flour with 5 to 30% black rice flour was tested to examine its effect on sponge cake making properties. We evaluated the effects of the substitutions on various quality parameters of the cake, such as physicochemical and rheological properties, cake making quality, and texture characteristics. The water holding capacity value increased with increasing amounts of black rice flour, whereas the alkaline water retention capacity, Pelshenke value and sedimentation value decreased. The mixograph peak time and peak height, and the Rapid Visco Analyser peak, minimum, and final viscosity decreased with the addition of black rice flour. Increasing proportions of black rice flour resulted in reduced loaf volume. However, replacing 15% of the wheat flour with black rice flour did not significantly affect the characteristics of the sponge cake. The textural characteristics of the sponge cake crumb were influenced by the addition of black rice flour, and sponge cakes containing the additives showed increases in hardness, gummines, and chewiness.

We investigated the quality and antioxidant activities of sponge cake prepared containing 1-5% of green tea powder (GT). The water content in the cake increased with an increase in the amount of GT added. Although the hardness and springiness of the rice sponge cake increased, the adhesiveness decreased with increasing the level of GT. The cohesiveness, chewiness, and resilience of the rice sponge cake with GT were similar to those of the control. Chromaticity determination revealed that lightness, redness, and yellowness of the crust decreased with increasing GT content. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents increased proportionally with increasing GT level. Antioxidant activity, measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging as well as reducing power activities, was significantly higher in the rice sponge cake with GT than in the control. Sensory evaluation determined that addition of 1-3% GT to the rice sponge cake maintained the color, taste, texture, flavor, and overall acceptance similar to that of the control.

Sponge cakes were prepared by replacing wheat flour with rice flour ranging from 10-40% and their physico-chemical, textural and sensory properties were examined. Rice flour addition decreased the moisture content and increased the total sugar and protein contents of the sponge cake. The viscosity and specific volume of batter increased with rice flour addition. 'L' values of crumb of sponge cakes with 20% or more rice flour were lower, whereas corresponding 'a' values were higher than those of the control. Textural hardness was increased, and textural cohesiveness and springiness were decreased with the addition of 30% or 40% rice flour. perceived that sponge cake with 20% or more rice flour had a weaker sweet flavor than the others. With the addition of 30% or 40% rice flour, sponge cake showed a stronger roasted and weaker greasy flavor, and less softness and cohesiveness than the other sponge cakes. The sensory did not find my significant difference in overall acceptability between the control and rice flour-added sponge cakes. Therefore, wheat flour could be replaced by rice flour up to 40% without reducing acceptability.

In this study, rice flour sponge cakes were prepared by replacing 50% of the sucrose with oligosaccharides. Isomaltooligosaccharide and fructooligosaccharide were used as the oligosaccharides. The effects of oligosaccharides on the physical, textural and sensory properties of the cakes were then examined. The oligosaccharides increased batter viscosity and decreased batter specific gravity and baking loss. The moisture content, specific loaf volume and loaf volume index of the cake increased by replacing 50% of the sucrose with oligosaccharides. Internal and exterior color determinations showed that the 'L' value of the sponge cake with oligosaccharides was lower than that of the control, indicating a darker crust and crumb with the oligosaccharide substitution. Decreases in textual hardness, chewiness, and brittleness occurred with the oligosaccharides. Sensory panels perceived that the oilgosaccharide darkened the crust of the rice flour sponge cake and the panelists rated the cakes with the oilgosaccharide substitutions as sweeter, softer and more moist. The rice flour sponge cakes with isomaltooligosaccharides had a significantly higher acceptability then the others.

This experiment was carried out in order to investigate effect of rice varieties, milling methods and particle sizes of rice flours on characters of songe cake. The expansion height of batters peaked from in 14 to 18 minutes during baking for 34 minutes at $150^{\circ}C$, and then was gradually decreased. The decrease in the height ranged from 6 to 50% compared to the expansion peak of batters at one day after baking. The inner temperature of the batters showed a tendency to increase slowly and was greatly increased for 8 to 10 minutes. The highest temperature was 94 to $96^{\circ}C$ in 24 to 26 minutes during baking. The volume of the rice cake was not affected by the particle sizes of the rice flours and milling treatment, and ranged from 89 to 95% compared the volume of wheat cake. Therefore, this result indicated the great possibility baking sponge cake used with rice flours. The baked sponge cake by the hydrated flours showed lower stregth than that by the non-hydrated rice flours without correlation with kinds and particle sizes of rice flours, and there were not significant differences in the cohesiveneness of the cakes. The sponge cake of the hydrated rice flour of Taebaek variety was generally superior in texture and taste to the cake of wheat flour as the result of sensory evaluation.

The production of black rice in Korea has been increasing, as more Koreans are tending to blend black rice with medium-grain rice for serving. This increased production creates an opportunity for developing new products. In this study, the properties of sponge cakes produced from a blend of black rice flour (BRF) and wheat flour (WF) are investigated. Black rice sponge cakes (BRSC) were produced with constant process variables (e.g. baking temperature, fermentation time and BRP content (10, 20 & 30%)). Proximate compositions, farinogram, amylogram and extensogram analyses of BRSC were determined by AACC method. BRSC color was expressed to Hunter L, a and b values using a colorimeter. Sensory properties were evaluated by a trained 5-member panel. Moisture contents in BRSC decreased with increasing contents of BRF, while ash and protein contents were increased. Farinograph and amylograph data did not differ significantly between treatments, while extensograph data decreased with increasing BRF contents. With increasing BRF contents, Hunter L value decreased, while Hunter a value increased. When using 20% of BRP, sensory scores of BRSC were the highest in color, flavor and taste. In conclusion, 20% of BRF would be the optimum amount for producing sponge cake with BRP and WF.

The aim of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of sponge cakes with added rice flour produced by a modified genoise method to prevent volume reduction. A control group and experimental group I were prepared by the genoise method and experimental groups II, III, and IV were produced by a modified genoise method in which they were mixed with wheat flour and water to a make paste to form gluten for 3, 6, and 9 minutes, respectively. One third of the wheat flour in all experimental groups was replaced by rice flour. The control and experimental groups were compared in terms of quality characteristics, including batter specific gravity, volume, color, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities, to determine the optimal pasting time for wheat flour in the formulation. The specific gravity of the experimental groups was higher than that of the control and decreased with increasing wheat flour pasting time. The volume of experimental group I was lower than that of the control group, and the volume values of experimental groups III and IV, made by the modified genoise method, were higher than that of the control group. $dL^*$ and $db^*$values for the crust and inside of the cake were lower in the experimental groups than in the control. The $dL^*$ value, indicating brightness, increased as pasting time increased. The hardness values of experimental groups I and IV were higher than that of the control whereas experimental groups II and III had lower hardness values. Chewiness was higher in the control group, as well as experimental groups I and IV than in the experimental groups II and III. The gumminess of experimental group IV was highest. Cohesiveness decreased by adding rice flour to the sponge cake. Sensory attributes of cell uniformity, tenderness, moistness, taste, and overall acceptability had the highest scores in experimental group III. Based on these results, we conclude that the quality of sponge cake containing one third of the wheat flour replaced by rice flour is best with 6 minutes pasting of the wheat flour to form gluten.

This study set out to make sponge cake a product of confectionery and bakery to expand the uses of rice bran and conducted a preliminary experiment to revise and supplement the addition of rice bran. The study sought to determine the level of added rice bran, 0~20%, by taking into account the taste, color, and marketability of rice bran in order to provide basic data for the possibilities of new product development and increase the usage of rice bran. As for the general composition, moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate, and ash content comprised 9.50%, 15.51%, 18.12%, 48.17%, and 8.70% of the rice bran powder respectively. The pH of the dough decreased significantly with increased levels of rice bran. The specific gravity of the dough tended to rise significantly with the addition of rice bran. The group of 0% rice bran powder recorded the highest score of brightness, whereas the group of 20% rice bran powder scored lowest in terms of brightness. While there were significant differences between the control and experiment groups, no significant differences were found among the addition groups. Hardness also showed a tendency to significantly increase. The sensory evaluation results indicate that the group of 0% rice bran powder recorded the highest overall preference score at 5.00 and that the group of 20% rice bran powder had the lowest overall preference score at 2.87. The results also suggest that 10% rice bran powder sponge cake could be helpful in improving physical quality.
