A product similar to the high-ratio cake with respect
to the batter characteristics, porosity, andcell size and
shape distributions was obtained at the 25% sugarreplacement
level resulting in 18.75% calorie reduction
basedon the sugar content of the conventional
formulation. Although bubble size distributions of the
cake batters at all replacement levels were similar to that
of the high-ratio cake batter, expansion decreased as the
sugar-replacement level increased. Increase in the sugarreplacement
level resultedin a decrease in crack-like
cells andan increase in small sphere-like cells causing a
significant decrease in cake height. Sugar-replacement also led to an increase in the redness and a decrease in the lightness of the cake crumb.
