Use of combination of HPMC and SSL improved significantly the quality characteristics
of cake with 50% sesame oil in such a way that the overall quality score was higher than that of
the control cake with fat. The microstructure of cake crumb with 50% sesame oil and HPMC showed
a smooth structure with less number of cavities and SSL showed a continuous protein matrix. On
replacing the fat with 50% sesame oil, there was a decrease in saturated fatty acids and increase in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid. The fatty acid profile of cake with 50% sesame oil was better than the control cake as there was 2.4 times decrease in palmitic acid content and 5.9 times increase in essential fatty acids (EFA) content
