STARCH-STARKE, cilt.53, ss.162-169, 2001 (SCI-Expanded)
This study investigated the effects of four different types of modified wheat and corn starches (pregelatinized, thinned with acid, cross-linked, dextrinized and intact form) on the cake quality. The starches were added to the cake formulations at levels of 0, 10, 20 and 30% based on flour. Addition of wheat starch gave a higher cake volume and specific cake volume than corn starch. Also, the modified starches gave increased penetration values and shelf life to the cakes by delaying the staling process. As a result, the addition of 10% pregelatinized starch had a positive effect on the quality of cakes.
