Bakery products are widely consumed and are becoming a major component of the international food market (Kotsianis et al., 2002). Cake is one of the most common bakery products consumed by people in the world. Nowadays, cake manufacturers face a major problem of lipid oxidation which limits the shelf life of their products (Lean and Mohamed, 1999). Bakery products such as cakes particularly those with high lipid content tend to become rancid after prolonged storage owing to the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (Ray and Husain, 2002 and Smith et al., 2004). Special attention has given to the use of natural antioxidant because of the world wide trend to avoid or minimize synthetic food additives (Kings and Berger, 2001).
