The behavior of formulation CMG-100 can be explained by the fact that the mucilage has a high capacity to retain water, which may have positively influenced the texture of the cakes (increasing softness). However, throughout the shelf-life this water was lost, which justifies the increase in the firmness of the samples. In the case of formulations CMG-50 and CMG-75, the reduction of vegetable fat resulted in a lower aeration capacity, poorer crumb structure and, consequently, a less tender cake crumb and greater firmness.
