Natural antioxidants may inhibit lipid peroxidation in food and
improve food quality and safety. Green tea contains antioxidants
such as catechins and, added to food as a supplement, can provide
beneficial health effects and prevent food from oxidation during

be beneficial to develop a novel formulation of cake production
with green tea. The objectives of this research were to make
sponge cakes with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% replacement of cake flour
with green tea powder, to evaluate the influence of green tea powder
on sponge cake quality and contents of the functional component
as a result of supplementation. The antioxidant properties of
sponge cakes were also determined
