This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of the sponge cakes with red cabbage. The sponge cake with red cabbage was prepared with different ratios from 0 to 9%.
The specific gravities of the batter with red cabbage were higher than control one. The specific volumes of the sponge cake was gradually decreased as increasing of content levels of red cabbage powders.
The Hunter’s colorimetric lightness(L), redness(a) and yellowness(b) of the sponge cakes were effected by the color of red cabbage. The addition of red cabbage powders increased moisture contents of the products. The crude ash contents of the cakes were increased as higher content levels of red cabbage powders. TDF (total dietary fiber) contents were significantly increased by the substitution ratios.
In texture analysis, hardness, gumminess, and brittleness of sponge cake were increased as increasing of seaweed and vegetable powders added, while cohesiveness was decreased. Springiness showed no significant differences among the substitution ratios.
In the sensory evaluations, preferences of the cakes with red cabbage powders were significantly higher than those of control cakes,especially 3% level of the powder showed the highest preference.
The results show that the most recommendable sponge cake was in the substitution ratios of 3% red cabbage powder. They can possibly contribute to improving the nutritional and functional well-being of foods.
