The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different gums, gum concentrations and their combination on quality and staling of gluten free cakes baked in microwave-infrared combination oven and conventional oven. In the first part of the study, the effects of different gums (xanthan and guar gum) at different concentrations (0.3%, 0.6% and 1.0%) and their blend on quality of gluten free cakes baked in microwave-infrared combination and conventional oven were investigated. The gelatinization properties of the cakes were also investigated. Among different gums, xanthan-guar gum blend addition to the cake formulation improved cake quality with increasing specific volume as well as decreasing weight loss and crumb hardness values for both types of baking methods. Gum blend addition also improved the cake acceptability in terms of texture, taste and the crust color of the cakes. The gelatinization degrees of cakes were found to decrease as the gum concentration increased, for both types of ovens. In the second part of the study it was focused on effects of different gums, gum concentrations and storage times on staling of cakes. Addition of gum blend decreased hardness, weight loss, retrogradation enthalpy and the change in setback viscosity values of cakes for both types of ovens and slowed down staling for 2 and 3 days for cakes baked in microwave-infrared combination and conventional oven, respectively. In microwave-infrared combination oven, it was possible to produce gluten-free cakes with similar quality with the conventionally baked ones even in a 75% shorter baking time.

Effects of different emulsifier types, fat contents, and gum types on retardation of staling of microwave-baked cakes Seyhun, N; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Wiley, 2003-08-01) The effects of different types of emulsifiers, gums, and fat contents on the retardation of staling of microwave-baked cakes were investigated. First, different types of emulsifiers (DATEM, Lecigran, and Purawave) at three different fat contents (50%, 25%, and 0%) were added to cake formulations to retard staling of microwave-baked cakes. Then, three types of gums (guar gum, xanthan gum, and methylcellulose) were added to the optimum formulations chosen. As a control, cakes formulated without any emulsifier...
Usage of enzymes in a novel baking process Keskin, SO; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Wiley, 2004-04-01) In this study, the effects of different enzymes (a-amylase, xylanase, lipase, protease) on quality of breads baked in different ovens (microwave, halogen lamp-microwave combination and conventional oven) were investigated. It was also aimed to reduce the quality problems of breads baked in microwave ovens with the usage of enzymes. As a control, bread dough containing no enzyme was used. Specific volume, firmness and color of the breads were measured as quality parameters. All of the enzymes were found to b...
Design of gluten free rice cake formulations for baking in infrared-microwave combination oven Turabi, Elif; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2010) The main objective of this study was to design gluten free rice cakes containing different gums and an emulsifier for baking in infrared (IR)-microwave combination oven. In the first part of the study, the effects of different gums (xanthan, guar, xanthan-guar blend, κ-carrageenan, locust bean, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and xanthan-κ-carrageenan blend) and emulsifier blend (PurawaveTM) on physical properties of cake batters were investigated. In the second part of the study, weight loss, specific...
Effects of different batter formulations on the quality of deep-fat-fried carrot slices Akdeniz, N; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01) The effects of batter coating containing pregelatinized tapioca starch or maltodextrin at different concentrations (1, 3 or 5%) on product quality of deep-fat-fried carrot slices were evaluated. Coated slices were fried for 2, 3 and 4 min at 170 degrees C. Coating pickup of batter formulations and moisture and oil contents, porosity, texture and colour of fried slices were determined. Batter without pregelatinized starch or maltodextrin addition was used as the control. Addition of 5% pregelatinized tapioca...
Effects of soy and rice flour addition on batter rheology and quality of deep-fat fried chicken nuggets Dogan, SF; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-01) The effects of soy flour (5%) and rice flour (5%) addition to the batter formulation on quality of deep-fat fried chicken nuggets were evaluated. Coating pick-up of batters, and moisture content, oil content, texture, color and porosity of nuggets were determined for 3, 6, 9 and 12 min of frying times at 180 degrees C. A batter formulation with no flour addition was used as control. Additionally, the rheological properties of batters were studied and coating pick-up was found to be directly proportional to ...
