The main objective of this study was to develop functional cake formulations to be baked in the microwave-infrared (MW-IR) combination oven by using legume flours. It was also aimed to compare quality of legume cakes baked in MW-IR oven with conventional oven. For this reason, oven type (conventional and microwave-infrared combination oven), baking time (4, 4.5 and 5 minutes), legume flour type (lentil, chickpea and pea) and legume flour concentration (10%, 20%, and 30%) were selected as independent variables. As a control, wheat cakes were used. Weight loss, specific volume, porosity, texture, color, gelatinization degree, macro and micro-structure of cakes were determined. MW-IR baked cakes had higher specific volume, porosity, weight loss and crust color change and lower hardness values than conventionally baked cakes. Cakes baked in MW-IR oven gelatinized less than those baked in conventional oven. Pore area fractions of MW-IR baked cakes were higher than conventionally baked cakes. Larger pores of microwave-infrared baked cakes were also observed in Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images. Cakes with high quality can be obtained by replacing 10% of wheat flour with legume flour. Legume flour type did not affect the weight loss, crust and color change of cakes baked in MW-IR for 4 min. Pea flour giving the hardest structure, lowest specific volume, porosity and gelatinization degree was determined to be the least acceptable legume flour. On the other hand, lentil and chickpea cakes had the softest structure, highest specific volume and porosity showing that lentil and chickpea flour can be used to produce functional cakes.

Development of gluten-free wafer sheet formulations MERT, Selen; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (2015-10-01) The main objective of this study was to develop gluten-free wafer sheet formulations by replacing rice flour partially with different gluten-free flours at different ratios. Rice-corn flour blends, rice-buckwheat flour blends and rice-chestnut flour blends with different ratios (80:20, 60:40, 40:60) were used in the experiments in order to find the higher quality and more nutritional gluten-free wafer sheet formulations. As a control, wafer sheet samples containing only rice flour and only wheat flour were ...
The effects of xanthan and guar gums on staling of gluten-free rice cakes baked in different ovens Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Meda, Venkatesh (2010-01-01) P>The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different concentrations of xanthan and guar gums and their blends on staling of gluten-free rice cakes baked in microwave-infrared combination oven (MW-IR) and to compare the cakes with conventionally baked ones. Gums were added at concentrations of 0.3% and 1.0%. For preparation of gum blend, 0.5% xanthan gum was mixed with 0.5% guar gum. In order to understand the staling behaviour of cakes, cakes were stored at 22 +/- 2 degrees C for 120 h. X...
Optimization of Baking of Rice Cakes in Infrared-Microwave Combination Oven by Response Surface Methodology Turabi, Elif; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2008-03-01) In this study, response surface methodology was used to design gluten-free cakes made from rice flour to be baked in infrared-microwave combination oven. Two types of cake formulations containing different types of gums were used in the experiments, which were xanthan gum and xanthan-guar gum blend. The independent variables were emulsifier content (0, 3, and 6% of flour weight), upper halogen lamp power (50, 60, and 70%), and baking time (7, 7.5, and 8 min). Specific volume, surface color change, firmness ...
Production of cacao micro and nano fibers and utilization in cakes Duman, Burcu; Mert, Behiç; Department of Food Engineering (2013) The main objective of this study was to investigate micro and nano cacao fibers and their effects on quality, texture and staling of cakes. In the first part of the study, rheological properties of cake batter with different concentrations (0 %, 3 %, 6 %, 9 %, 12 %) cacao micro and nano fiber, and cacao powder were determined. Cake batter was found to show shear thinning and time independent behavior for all formulations and fit the Power Law model. The viscosity increased as the percentage of fiber increas...
Utilization of Mixolab (R) to predict the suitability of flours in terms of cake quality Kahraman, Kevser; Sakiyan, Ozge; Ozturk, Serpil; KÖKSEL, HAMİT; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Dubat, Arnaud (2008-06-01) The objective of this study was to determine the possibility of using Mixolab((R)) to predict the cake baking quality of different wheat flours. Mixolab((R)) data were also compared with various flour quality characteristics. The correlations between Alveoconsistograph data and the cake quality characteristics were not significant. Therefore, Alveoconsistograph test does not seem to be useful to predict the cake quality of the flour samples. Mixolab((R)) characteristics C2, C3, C4 and C5 were found to be si...
