Table 4 shows that the overall acceptability of sponge cakes with
25% substitution of wheat-flour by starch fraction does not differ
from control cakes, and its appearance was even evaluated as
better. In contrast, larger percentage substitutions or the use of pinmilled
flour lead to a poorer evaluation of overall acceptability. This
decrease in acceptability was due to lower values for taste and
aftertaste; there were no significant differences in appearance or
texture, though odour was altered in cakes with 50% pin-milled pea
flour. Sponge cakes with the highest percentage substitutions and
protein-fraction cakes were not evaluated because previous results
(volume and texture) showed a clear loss of quality.We believe that
