CONCLUSIONS
Total replacement of 60 g of hydrogenated fatwith 30 g of oil/
100 g of wheat flour in pound cake formulation resulted in a
decrease in batter viscosity, cake volume and overall quality
score. Emulsifier and hydrocolloid bringing about improvement
separately in the quality of cakes with oils were identified.
Addition of combination of identified emulsifier and
hydrocolloid namely SSL + CMC; PS-60 + CMC to the cakes
with SFO and CNO, respectively, brought about significant
improvement in the quality characteristics of cakes with oils.
Determination of fatty acid profile of cakes showed that the
control cake with hydrogenated fat had 51.3% SFA and only
6.5% PUFA; the cakes with SFO was rich in PUFA, mainly the
linoleic acid (44.6%) and the cakes with CNO was rich in
medium-chain fatty acids, mainly the lauric acid (48.9%).
The results showed that cakes with reduced fat, better fatty
acid profilewith quality characteristics similar to control cake
can be prepared by replacing hydrogenated fat with SFO or
