SeriesEditor’sPreface
Contemporary Food engineering
Food engineering is the multidisciplinary field of applied physical sciences combined with the knowledge of product properties. Food engineers provide the technological knowledge transfer essential to the cost-effective production and commercialization of food products and services. In particular, food engineers develop and design pro-cesses and equipment in order to convert raw agricultural materials and ingredi-ents into safe, convenient, and nutritious consumer food products. However, food engineering topics are continuously undergoing changes to meet diverse consumer demands, and the subject is being rapidly developed to reflect market needs.
In the development of food engineering, one of the many challenges is to employ modern tools and knowledge, such as computational materials science and nano-technology, to develop new products and processes. Simultaneously, improving food quality, safety, and security remain critical issues in food engineering study. New packaging materials and techniques are being developed to provide more protection to foods, and novel preservation technologies are emerging to enhance food security and defense. Additionally, process control and automation regularly appear among the top priorities identified in food engineering. Advanced monitoring and control systems are developed to facilitate automation and flexible food manufacturing. Fur-thermore, energy saving and minimization of environmental problems continue to be an important food engineering issue and significant progress is being made in waste management, efficient utilization of energy, and reduction of effluents and emissions in food production.
Consisting of edited books, the Contemporary Food Engineering book series attempts to address some of the recent developments in food engineering. Advances in classical unit operations in engineering applied to food manufacturing are covered as well as such topics as progress in the transport and storage of liquid and solid foods; heating, chilling, and freezing of foods; mass transfer in foods; chemical and biochemical aspects of food engineering and the use of kinetic analysis; dehydration, thermal processing, nonthermal processing, extrusion, liquid food concentration, membrane processes and applications of membranes in food processing; shelf-life, electronic indicators in inventory management, and sustainable technologies in food processing; and packaging, cleaning, and sanitation. The books aim at professional food scientists, academics researching food engineering problems, and graduate-level students.
The editors of the books are leading engineers and scientists from many parts of the world. All the editors were asked to present their books in a manner that will address the market need and pinpoint the cutting-edge technologies in food engineer-ing. Furthermore, all contributions are written by internationally renowned experts who have both academic and professional credentials. All authors have attempted to

provide critical, comprehensive, and readily accessible information on the art and science of a relevant topic in each chapter, with reference lists to be used by readers for further information. Therefore, each book can serve as an essential reference source to students and researchers in universities and research institutions.

PrefaceBaking is a complex food process that involves simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Understanding the baking process is necessary for process and product develop-ment. The books dealing with this topic mainly concentrate on different product formulations and functions of ingredients in cookies, cakes, and so forth. To date, baking has been a field of trial and error. In this book, we chose to look at the topic of baking from a different perspective. We aimed to combine engineering and science aspects of baking, as this is lacking in baking books.
Rheological and emulsion properties of dough and batter, physical properties of sweet goods, and heat and mass transfer during baking are important in under-standing the baking process. For this reason, in this book we include chapters on the rheology of cake batter and cookie dough, physical and thermal properties of sweet goods, cake emulsions, and heat and mass transfer during baking. In addition, information is presented on the food science aspects of soft wheat products, includ-ing quality of soft wheat, functions of ingredients in the baking of sweet goods, and chemical reactions during processing. Moreover, information on cake and cookie technology is provided. The principles of recent technologies for baking soft wheat products, such as jet impingement, microwave and hybrid ovens, and recent studies in this area are also summarized. Presented in the last chapter of this book is a sum-mary of the nutritional issues regarding the consumption of fats and sugars and gen-eral strategies of substituting fats and sugars in baked products, because the recent trend among consumers is to consume low-calorie products.
Various experts in different fields from different countries contributed to this book. The editors believe that this book will be helpful for undergraduate or gradu-ate students who are working in the field of baking, food science, and food engineer-ing, and also people from the food industry.

Soft Wheat Quality
During baking, minimal gelatinization of starch occurs due to the low watercontentofcookiedough,asshownbydifferentialscanningcalorimetry(AbboudandHoseney1984).However,damagedstarch,withitsgreaterwater-holdingcapability,isknowntonegativelyaffectcookiediameter.DonelsonandGaines(1998)increasedthedamagedstarchcontentofhardandsoftwheatfloursusedtomakesugar-snapcookiesthroughtheadditionofball-milledandpregelatinizedstarch.Forbothhardandsoftwheatflours,theadditionofdamagedstarchledtoanincreaseinalkalinewaterretentioncapacityandadecreaseincookiediameter.Theyalsomadecook-ieswith100%oftheflourreplacedbycombinationsofprimeanddamagedstarch.Thesoftwheatstarchproducedcookieswithlargerdiametersthanthehardwheatstarchatallofthedifferentlevelsofstarchdamagestudied.Additionally,thehardwheatstarchdoughshadgreaterstiffnessthanthosemadefromsoftwheatstarch.Theauthorsconcludedthatthereisafundamentaldifferencebetweenhardandsoftwheatstarchesthatleadstotheirdifferentperformancesincookiebaking.
1.6.3 PenTosans
With their ability to absorb large amounts of water, pentosans also affect cookiequality.Yamazaki(1955)foundthattheadditionofpurifiedstarchtailingsfractions,rich inpentosans, increased thehydration abilityof softwheatflour and reducedcookie spread.BettgeandMorris (2000)measured total,water-soluble,andgrainmembranepentosansin13softwheatfloursamples.Theamountoftotalpentosanshadthelargestnegativecorrelationwithsugar-snapcookiespreadfollowedbythewater-solubleandgrainmembranepentosans.Thegrainmembranepentosanswerealsohighlypositivelycorrelatedwithalkalinewaterretentioncapacity.Abboudetal.(1985a),ontheotherhand,reportedapoorcorrelationbetweenpentosancontentandcookiediameter.Sucrosesolventretentioncapacity,whichisassociatedwithpento-sans,wasnegativelycorrelatedwithsugar-snapcookiespreadbyGaines(2004),eventhoughintheirstudy,alkalinewaterretentioncapacitywasnot.Usingsucrosesol-ventretentioncapacityalongwithflourproteincontentandmillingsoftness,Gaines(2004)wasalsoabletogeneratearegressionequationtopredictcookiediameter.

2.2.2 Cakes

3.3.2 FormaTionoFFlavorandaromaComPounds
FlavorcompoundformationintheMaillardreaction(MR)dependsonthefollowing:
TypeofsugarsandaminoacidsinvolvedReactiontemperature,time,pH,andwatercontent(Jousseetal.,2002)
In general, the first factor mentioned determines the type of flavor compoundsformed,andthesecondfactorinfluencesthekinetics.
The most common route for formation of flavors via the Maillard reactionincludes the interactionofα-dicarbonylcompounds(intermediateproducts in theMR,stage2)withaminoacids through theStreckerdegradationreactions.AlkylpyrazinesandStreckeraldehydesbelongtocommonlyfoundflavorcompoundsfromtheMR.Forexample,lowlevelsofpyrazinesareformedduringtheprocessingofpotatoflakeswhen the temperature is less than130°C,but increase tenfoldwhenthe temperature is increased to160°C,anddecreaseat190°C,probablyowing toevaporationorbindingtomacromolecules.Thearomaprofilevarieswiththetem-perature and the time of heating. At any given temperature–time combination, auniquearoma,whichisnotlikelytobeproducedatanyothercombinationofheatingconditions,isproduced(vanBoekel,2006).

The type of aroma is influenced by theaminoacidstructure(El-Dash,1971),soglucoseplusleucine,arginine,orhistidinegivesafreshbreadaroma,whiledihydroxyacetoneplusprolinegivesacracker-typearoma(Coffman,1965).Sugartypeaffectsreactionratemorethanaromatype(El-Dash,1971).
Manycompoundshavebeendetectedindoughsandbreads(crustandcrumb),andtheyweresummarized(Coffman,1965;HansenandHansen,1994;Lundetal.,1989;Maga,1974;SchieberleandGrosch,1985,1987).Wheatandryeflourdoughsandbreadscontainmanycommoncomponents,butryeflourleadstoadditionalcom-ponentsnotidentifiedinwheatproducts(Maga,1974;SchieberleandGrosch,1985,1987).Thecompoundsidentifiedinpreferments,doughs,andbreadsarebasedonacids,alcohols,aldehydes,esters,ethers,furanderivatives,ketones,pyrrolederiva-tives,pyrazines,andsulfurcompounds(Maga,1974;SchieberleandGrosch,1985,1987).
Carbonyls(aldehydesandketones)canresultfrommanydifferentreactionsinbreadmaking (Maga, 1974).Someproceed from fermentation, such as acetoinordiacetyl (Lawrence et al., 1976), but the majority are produced during nonenzy-maticbrowningreactions(Johnsonetal.,1966).Also,somecarbonylcompoundsgeneratedduringfermentationcanvolatilizeduringbakingandappearagaindur-ingbrowningreactions(Johnsonetal.,1966).Breadcrustusuallycontainsalargernumberofcarbonylcompoundsthanbreadcrumb(El-Dash,1971).Lipoxygenaseisasourceofcarbonylsbydecompositionofhydroperoxides.Thus,linoleicacidpro-

Although the antioxidant effect of the Maillard reaction products has beenextensivelyinvestigated,theexactnatureoftheantioxidantsformedisnotyetwellknown.ItwasreportedthattheintermediatereductonecompoundsofMaillardreac-tionproductscouldbreaktheradicalchainbydonationofahydrogenatom.Maillardreactionproductswerealsoobservedtohavemetal-chelatingpropertiesandretardlipidperoxidation.Melanoidineswerereportedtobepowerfulscavengersofreactiveoxygenspecies(Hayaseetal.,1989).Recently,itwassuggestedthattheantioxidantactivityofxylose–lysineMRPsmaybeattributedtothecombinedeffectofreduc-ingpower,hydrogenatomdonation,andscavengingofreactiveoxygenspecies(YenandHsieh,1995).IntheMaillardreaction,highantioxidantcapacitywasgenerallyassociatedtotheformationofbrownmelanoidins(Aeschbacher,1990;Aneseetal.,1993,1994;Eichner,1981;GomyoandHorikoshi,1976;Hayaseetal.,1989;Kiri-gayaetal.,1968;Yamaguchietal.,1981;YenandHsieh,1995;YenandTsai,1993).Although in its early stages theMaillard reaction leads to the formationofwell-knownAmadoriandHeyn’sproducts(Ames,1988;Rizzi,1994),littleinformationisavailableonthechemicalstructureofthehundredsofbrownproductsformedbyaseriesofconsecutiveandparallelreactionsincludingoxidations,reductions,andaldolcondensationsamongothers(Eriksson,1981;Yaylayan,1997).

Moreover,itmustbekept inmind thatpolyphenols,ascorbicacid,andothercarbonylcom-pounds—evenifformedduringoxidativereactions—cantakepartintheMaillardreaction (Eriksson,1981;Rizzi,1994;Yaylayan,1997).Thecontributionof thesecompoundstotheformationofheat-inducedantioxidantsisstillunknown.

The loss of available lysine is the most significant consequence of the Maillardreaction,anditisofthegreatestimportanceinthosefoodswherethisaminoacidis limiting, such as in cereals (Henle et al., 1991). Evaluation of the early stagesof the Maillard reaction can be achieved by determination of the furosine (ε-N-(furoylmethyl)-L-lysine)aminoacidformedduringacidhydrolysisoftheAmadoricompound,fructosyl-lysine,lactulosyl-lysine,andmaltulosyl-lysineproducedbythereactionofe-aminogroupsoflysinewithglucose,lactose,andmaltose(Erbersdo-blerandHupe,1991).Forthisreason,theestimationoftheextentofproteindamagecausedbyheatinginthefirststagesofthatreactionareoftenbasedondetermina-tionsoftheamountoffurosinethatisformedduringtheacidhydrolysisoffoods.Furosinedeterminationhasbeenusedincerealstocontroltheprocessingofpasta(Resmini and Pellegrino, 1994), bakery products (Henle et al., 1995), baby cere-als(Guerra-HernándezandCorzo,1996;Guerra-Hernándezetal.,1999),andbread(Ramirez-Jimenezetal.,2000;Ruizetal.,2004).

Thestarchfractionin thewheatflourdoesnotappear toplayadirectrole inthe stabilization of foam or emulsion systems in cake batters. However, starchdoesabsorbwaterintherecipe,andtheamountofwaterabsorbedisincreasedbychlorinationorheattreatmentofthecakeflour.Thisgivesincreasedviscositythathelps to trapand subdivideair in thebatterduringmixing.

In making cakes, doughnuts, cookies, crakers, wafers, pretzels, and similarproducts,softwheatflourisused.Softwheatflourhaslowglutencontent,lowwater-absorptioncapacity, and lowgranulation size. It is commonlychlorinated for theproductionofcakes.Chlorinationisusuallydonewithchlorinegasandcanbemoni-toredbyadropinpHofflour.
Chlorinetreatmentofsoftwheatfloursimprovescakevolumeandproducesastiffer,moreresilientcrumb(Donelsonetal.,2000).Chlorinetreatmentofcakeflouris functionallybeneficial to theproductionofhigh-ratiocakes.White layercakesbakedusinguntreatedflourareunsatisfactoryinvolume,contour,crumbgrain,andtexture.Chlorine-treatedflourproducescakecrumbwithadrier,lessstickymouth-feel(KissellandYamazaki,1979).
Starch,lipid,andproteinsareallaffectedbychlorination.Theoxidativedepo-lymerizationofstarchwhichincreasesthewater-bindingcapacityofstarchisoneof the important changes that occur during chlorination (Huang et al., 1982). Attemperatures90°Candabove,swellingpowerandsolubilityofhighstarchfractionincreased as a result of chlorination (Huang et al., 1982).Water activitiesofbat-tersmadewithchlorinatedoruntreatedflourswerethesameuntilthetemperaturereached80°C.Batterscontainingchlorinatedflourhadhigherwateractivityat80°C.Storagemodulus(G′)increasedinthecaseofchlorine-treatedbatter,butitdecreasedinthecaseofuntreatedsamplebetween90and100ºC(Ngoetal.,1985).Thebatterpreparedwithchlorine-treatedflourhadamuchhigherlossmodulus(G′′)thandidthebattermadefromuntreatedflour.Alterationofstarchacceleratesthethickeningoftheviscosityofthebatterwhichresultsinhighervolume(GainesandDonelson,1982).Shelkeetal.(1992)alsoobservedthatthechlorinatedflourhadhigherviscos-itythanuntreatedflour.Freshlymilledfloursproducedbatterswithlowminimumviscosity,andminimumviscosityoffloursincreasedduringaging.Minimumvis-cosityofbatterduringheatingisanimportantpropertybecauseitreflectstheabilityofthebattertoretaingasbubblesandtoresistsettlingofstarch.
Chlorinationaffectsthehydrogenbondsoftheproteinsandcausesgreatersol-ubilityof the softwheatproteins (Kissell,1971).Hydrophobicityofproteinsalsoincreases with chlorination (Sinha et al., 1997). Chlorine treatment enhances thegel-formingproperties(Frazieretal.,1974).Chlorinationalsochangesthehexane-extractableflourlipidswhichresultsinhigherbatterexpansionduringbaking(Kis-selletal.,1979).

Ratswere fedwith cakesmadewith chlorine-treatedflour at ingestion levelsequivalenttotheconsumptionofcakeinthehumandietinordertotestthesafetyofconsumptionofchlorinatedflour,andnoadversereactionwasobserved(Danielsetal.,1963).However,athigheringestionlevels,reducedgrowthrate,increasedliver,kidney,andheartweights,andreductioninovaryweight(amongfemalemice)wereobserved(Cunninghametal.,1977;Ginocchioetal.,1983).Therefore,productionofbakedproductsusinguntreatedwheatflourisofgreatconcernforsafetyaspects,andithasbeenremovedfromthepermittedlistoffoodingredientsintheEuropeanUnion for cake manufacture. However, in order to produce cakes having similarpropertiestothoseproducedusingchlorine-treatedflour,someadditionalingredi-entsmaybeaddedtountreatedflourorheatedflourmaybeusedasanalternativetochlorine-treatedflour.Improvedcakevolumeandcontourwereobservedwhenuntreatedflour–starchblendwasused(JohnsonandHoseney,1979).Whenacer-tainamountof(12to43%dependingonthetypeoftheuntreatedflour) starchwasaddedtotheuntreatedflour,itwaspossibletoobtainpastingcurveareasequivalentto those obtained in the case of chlorine-treated flours in Rapid Visco Analyzer(Donelsonetal.,2000).Starchactsasawatersinkduringbaking,contributingtothesettingofthestructureofthecakeduringbaking.
Heat-treated flour has been introduced as an alternative to chlorinated flour.Heattreatmentimprovesflourperformanceasinthecaseofchlorinetreatment.Heattreatment of flour denatures wheat proteins and reduces their solubility in water.Therefore, batters made from heat-treated flour have higher viscosity comparedwithbattersmadewithuntreatedflour,andhigherviscosityhelpstotrapandsub-divideairinthebatterduringmixing.Thetemperatureofthefirstriseofviscositydecreaseswithheat-treatedflourinBrabenderAmylographanalysis(Seguchi,1990).Heat treatment may split some of the linkages of starch amylose or amylopectinchains resulting in lowering theoptimumviscosityofwheatflour.Thomasson etal. (1995) added xanthan gum, L-cysteine, or hydrogen peroxide plus peroxidaseenzymetoheat-treatedflourandobtainedcakeshavingcomparablevolumewiththeonesproducedusingchlorine-treatedflour.
... fatandfatreplacer
Oils are refined and may be partially hydrogenated. Cake margarines and short-eningsareformulatedfromblendsofprocessedoilsandfats.Incakemargarines,the aqueous phase contains skim milk. Shortening normally contains a mixtureofglycerideshavingwidelydifferentmeltingpoints.Inacakesystem,shorteningservesthreemajorfunctions:toentrapairduringthecreamingprocess,tophysicallyinterferewiththecontinuityofstarchandproteinparticles,andtoemulsifytheliq-uidinformulation.Thus,shorteningaffectsthetendernessandmoisturecontentofthecake.Theadditionoflipidimprovesairincorporationandfoamstabilitywhichaffectbakingquality.Inaddition,fatsandemulsifiersareknowntodelaygelatiniza-tionbydelayingthetransportofwaterintothestarchgranuleduetotheformationofcomplexesbetweenthelipidandamyloseduringbaking(Larsson,1980).

Batter with low viscosity produced cake with low volumeandfirmertexture.Whentheamountofreplacementwaslowerintheformulation,viscosityofthebatterwasrelativelyhigherandqualityoftheresultantcakeswasrelativelybetter.

Rheologicalbehaviorsofcakebattersatdifferent temperatures(27to50°C)havebeenstudiedbyShepherdandYoell(1976).Non-Newtonianshearthinningbehaviorwasobserved.Adrasticchangeintheflowbehaviorindexwasobservedbetween35°Cand40°C.Thiswasexplainedbythemeltingoffatsurroundingtheairbubbleswhenthetemperaturewasabove35°Cwhichmadethebubblesmoremobileandabletomigratetotheaqueousphase.
Achange inbatter rheologyduringheating is very important. Generally, thebatterviscositydecreasesatthebeginningofheatingandthenstartstoincreaseatthestarchgelatinizationtemperature(Changetal.,1990).NgoandTaranto(1986)measuredviscoelasticpropertiesofcakebattersusingadynamic(oscillatory)test.

Cereal chemists are familiar with dough testing equipment and use it widely toinvestigatedoughbehavior.This equipment includes the farinograph,mixograph,extensograph,andalveograph.
The farinograph and mixograph are torque-measuring devices that provideempiricalinformationaboutmixingpropertiesofflourbyrecordingtheresistanceof dough to mixing. In the farinograph, there is a kneading type of mixing; themixographinvolvesaplanetaryrotationofverticalpins.The informationderivedfromfarinogram(consistencyversustimecurve)andmixogram(torqueversustimecurve)isgivenbySahinandSumnu(2006)indetail.Incookiedough,theheightofthefarinogrambandisusedasameasureofdoughconsistency,andbandwidthisusedasameasureofdoughcohesiveness(JacobandLeelavathi,2007;OlewnikandKulp,1984).Deducedparametersofthemixogramssuchasinstantaneousspecificenergyandtotalspecificenergywereusedtoanalyzerheologicalbehaviorofbiscuitdoughaswell(Maache-Rezzougetal.,1998a,1998b).Instantanenousspecificenergyisdefinedastheenergy(J/kg.s)transmittedtothebiscuitdoughduringthemixingcycle.Totalspecificenergyistheintegraloftheinstantaneousspecificenergydur-ing theentiremixingoperation.Softandstickydough is reported tohavehighertotalspecificenergythanfirmandinhomogeneousdough,becausesoftdoughsticksandwrapsitselfroundthemixerblades,increasingthetransmittedenergy.

Thermal conductivity is a physical property of dough and batter. It can varyconsiderably,dependingonproductcomposition.Thethermalconductivityofdoughandbattercanbeestimatedfromthequantityofconstituentsincludingwater,fat,protein,carbohydrate,andash.SinghandHeldman(2001)presentedanempiricalmodeldevelopedbySweat(1986)forpredictingthethermalconductivityofsolidandliquidfoodmaterialsasfollows:

Without a convective fan, heat is transferred fromair to a solid surfaceby anaturalconvectionmechanism,wherethetemperaturedifferencecreatesadensitygradientand thereby themovementofair.Assuch, thenaturalconvectionrate isdependentonthecoefficientofthermalexpansionofthefluid.

Duringbreadbaking,volumeexpansion ismainlydue to twomechanisms:yeastand water vapor. At temperatures below 55°C, yeast converts sugar into carbondioxide and thereby volume expands. Due to heat transfer, dough temperature isincreased.Attemperaturesabove55°C,yeastisinactivated.However,doughvolumestillincreasesbecauseofincreasedwatervaporpressure.Fordoughthatisheatedquicklyatthebeginningofbaking,itsvolumeexpansioncanbestoppedatanearlystage.Indeed,ifcrustisformedtooearly,itwillblockmasstransferfrominsidelay-erstoouterlayers.Theresultantvolumecanbesmallerthanthatdesired.Inaddition,crustformationseemstoplayanimportantroleintheformationofcrumbstructureintermsofporosity.Witharestrictedtotalvolumeconfinedbythecrust,doughmaycontinuouslyexpandlocallytothedetrimentofmechanicallyweakareas;asaresult,theporosityinthoseareaswasdecreased(Zhangetal.,2007).Therefore,therateofheattransfertodoughatanearlybakingstageshouldbeofgreatconcerninregardtovolumeexpansion.However,itisworthmentioningthatvolumeexpansionduringbakingisgenerallysmallerthanthatduringproofing.

When a lower temperature is applied, a longer baking time isrequired,whichcausesformationofathickercrust.
Aftercrustisformed,heatisstilltransferredtothedoughwhichcanincreasetheevaporationrate.However,moisturefrominnerlayersishardlyremoved.Thisisduetothefactthatthecrustactsasabarriertoblockmasstransferfrominnerlayerstoouterlayers.Therefore,condensationatthecenteroftheloafisobserved,andmois-turecontentintheinnerlayersismuchhigherthanthatinthecrust.Accordingtoastudyonwaterdiffusioninbreadduringbaking(ThorvaldssonandSkjoldebrand,1998),themoisturecontentofcrustwasfoundtobe0±2.1gwater/100gdough,whereasthemoisturecontentofcentercrumbwas49.6±5.4gwater/100gdough.Moisturelossduringbreadbakingwasmainlyfromthecrustpartincludingtopcrust,sidecrust,andbottomcrust,as shown inFigure9.2.Fora typical bread loaf of 800g,weightlossduringbakingwasfoundtobeintherangeof50to55g.Forsometypesofbreadwhichhavethickercrust, higher weight losscan be expected (Wiggins,1999).

Crust color was developed through nonenzymatic reactions including Maillardreactionsandcaramelization.Bothmechanismsareinvolvedinthermalprocesses.Maillardreactionswerebetweenaminoacidsandreducingsugarsunderasuitabletemperaturethatnormallyneedstobeabove50°C(Villamiel,2006).Itcanbestimu-latedwhenmoistureisdecreased.Thatmeanscrustcolorcanbeobservedassoonasevaporationatthedoughsurfaceiscompletedandthesurfacetemperatureincreasestowardtheovenairtemperature.Whenbakingtimeislonger,themoisturecontentatthesurfaceisgettinglower,andthesurfacetemperatureisgettinghigher.Thus,crustcolorintensitycanbeincreased.However,theincreaseindegreeofbrowningisnotlinearwithrespecttoincreaseintemperatureduetoradiantheatfrommetalwallsintheoven.Whendoughgetsbrowner,itsemissivitybecomeshigher.Sub-sequently,thesurfacetemperatureisincreasedmorequickly.NotonlydoeshighersurfacetemperaturestimulateMaillardreactions,butitalsocausescaramelization.Therefore, at the late baking stage, color development rate is enhanced.

Mathematical models could also be established to simulate temperature andmoisturechangesduringbaking,suchasthosedescribedinSection9.4.Formasstransfer, mathematical models have been established to simulate water migrationwithin the dough (Thorvaldsson and Janestad, 1999; Thorvaldsson and Skjolde-brand,1998;TongandLund,1993;Zanonietal.,1994;Zhou,2005).Itwasfoundthatmoisturelosswasmainlyfromthetopsurfacewhichisexposeddirectlytoovenair.Moisture loss through thesidewassimilar to that through thebottom(Thor-valdssonandSkjoldebrand,1998).

Intheprocessofbaking,heatistransferredprimarilybyconvectionfromtheheatingmediumandbyradiationfromovenwallstotheproductsurface.Thisisfollowedbyconductiontothegeometriccenter.Atthesametime,moisturediffusesoutwardtotheproductsurface.Thetemperatureandmoisturedistributionwithintheporousstructurecanbepredictedusingappropriatediffusionequationsofheatandmoisturetransport.Inordertopredictthetemperatureandmoisturedistributionintheproductduringbaking,knowledgeoftheproductpropertiesisneeded,includingphysical,thermal,andmoisturetransportasafunctionofprocessingconditions(Rask,1989;Sablanietal.,1998).Thesepropertiesareapparentdensity(orspecificvolume),spe-cificheat,thermalconductivity,thermaldiffusivity,andmoisturediffusivity.
Mathematicalmodelingandcomputersimulationbasedonnumericalanalysishavebecomethemaintoolsforunderstandingandpredictingprocessingphenom-ena.Withtheadventofhigh-speedcomputersandinexpensivememory,physical,thermal,andmoisture transportpropertiesofproductscanbe treatedas time-ortemperature-dependent variables instead of average values for the whole process(McFarlane,2006;Sablanietal.,1998). Inaddition,during thebakingprocess,aseries of physical, chemical, and biochemical changes occur in a product. Thesechanges include volume expansion, evaporation of water, formation of a porousstructure,denaturationofprotein,gelatinizationofstarch,formationofcrust,andbrowning reaction.Afundamentalunderstandingofsuchphysical,chemical,andbiochemical changes will be particularly useful in the development of completemathematicalmodelsofthebakingprocess.

Themodelsdevelopedforthepredictionofthermalconductivityaremostlyprod-uctspecific(Table10.2).Aneural-network-basedmodelwasdevelopedbySablanietal.(2002)forcalculatingthermalconductivityofavarietyofbakeryproductsunderawiderangeofconditionsofmoisturecontent,temperature,andapparentdensity.The developed model (Appendix A) can easily be incorporated in the numericalanalysisofheatandmoisturetransferduringbaking.

KulackiandKennedy(1978)usedanindirectmethodtocalculatethethermaldif-fusivityofcommercialbiscuitdough.Thethermaldiffusivityvariedfrom8.0to12.0×10−8m2/sintherangeofmoisturecontent4.1to8.5%,density1252.3to1286.6kg/m3.Thetotaluncertaintyinthethermaldiffusivityoftwobiscuitdoughswasatmaximum13.4% (AACC)and15%(HS).Sweat(1973)estimatedthethermaldif-fusivityofyellowlayercakefrombulkdensity,thermalconductivity,andspecificheat. It increased from1.09×10−7 to1.43×10−7m2/s for the centerof the cakeduringbaking.Changesweremoresignificantat theedgeof thecake thanat thecenter.Baiketal.(1999)alsoestimatedthethermaldiffusivityofacupcakeusinganindirectmethod.Theinitialthermaldiffusivityofbatteratroomtemperaturewas1.02×10−7m2/s.Thethermaldiffusivityincreasedto1.696×10−7m2/sbytheendofbakingwithamaximumof1.698×10−7m2/safter13min.ThesechangesweresimilartothosereportedbySweat(1973).
Baiketal.(1999)alsodevelopedapredictionmodelofthermaldiffusivitydur-ingsimulatedbakingasafunctionofdensity,temperature,andmoisture.Thetem-peraturehistorymethodwasusedtoobtainthethermaldiffusivityofmuffin(TouandTadano,1991).Sampleswereputintoacylindricalcontainer(diameter80mm,height30mm)andbakedat220°C,andthetemperatureofthecenterofdoughwasmeasured.Thethermaldiffusivityvalueobtainedwas5.76×10−7m2/s.

Christensonetal. (1989)measured thedensityof interiorportionsofsamplesbythegeometrycuttingtechnique.Baiketal.(1999)usedpycnometerandgeom-etrycuttingtoestimatethedensityofcakebatter/semisolidbatterandbakedcake,respectively.Theyusedfrozensampleandasharpknifetoprepareregularshapes.Thesampleswereweighed,andafterthawing,eachdimensionwasmeasuredtocal-culatevolume.Theyreportedthatthebatterdensitydecreasedsharplyfrom803to236kg/m3 during 13minofbaking.Itthenincreasedto281kg/m3after15minduetocollapse.Afterthat,itremainednearlyconstanttotheendofbaking.

Natural convection baking is a slow and inefficient process that results in varia-tions inproductqualitydue tononuniformheat transferover theproduct surface(Henke, 1985; Walker, 1987). Increasing the air movement within the oven withtheuseoffansandblowersimprovestheheattransferratebutstillisnotenoughtoachieveproductuniformity(Henke,1985;Walker,1987).Inordertoprovidemoreuniformdistributionofairovertheproductsurfacecomparedtonaturalconvection,jetimpingementtechnologywasintroduced.Jetimpingementovens,firstdesignedbyDonaldSmith (1975), are a special class of forced convectionovens inwhichhigh-velocity(10to50m/s)jetsofhotair(100to250°C)impingeverticallyonafoodproduct(Figure11.1).

Different techniqueshavebeenused to study thefluidflowandheat transferassociated with jet impingement flows. The use of the smoke wire method is aqualitative approach to study the flow pattern of impinging jets in food applica-tions(e.g.,bakingorroastingofhotdogs)(Cornaroetal.,1999;PopielandTrass,1991;Viskanta,1993).Thequantitativeexperimentalmeasurements,likehotwireanemometry(GardonandAkfirat,1965;SugiyamaandUsami,1979)andpitottube(KocerandKarwe,2005;StoyandBen-Haim,1973)whichmeasurepointvelocityof impingingjets,are invasive techniquesandare likely to inducechanges in theflowfield.Ontheotherhand,laserdoppleranemometry(LDA)(Durstetal.,1981;MarcroftandKarwe,1999;Marcroftetal.,1999)andparticleimagingvelocimetry(PIV)(Adrian,1991)arenoninvasivetechniquesthathavebeendevelopedtoquanti-tativelymeasuretheflowfield,althoughthesetechniquesareexpensive.
The lumped capacitance technique has been used to determine average heattransfer coefficient during jet impingement processing (Kocer and Karwe, 2005;Nitin andKarwe,2001).Liquid crystals (Baughn, 1995;Goldstein andTimmers,1982;LeeandLee,2000;Mesbahetal.,1996),two-dimensionalinfraredradiom-eter(Panetal.,1992;PanandWebb,1995),andnaphthalenefilm-indirectapproach(Angiolettietal.,2003;SparrowandLovell,1980)havebeenusedtomeasurethespatialvariationofsurfaceheattransferforamodelobject.

Bakingisaprocesswhereheatandmasstransferoccursimultaneouslywithinthefoodsystem.Heattransfercausestemperaturerise;masstransfercausesmigrationand loss of moisture in the food. This temperature rise, moisture migration, andevaporationcausestarchgelatinization,proteindenaturation,crustformation,colordevelopment, andflavor formation.Theextentof all thesephysical andchemicalchangesdeterminesthefinalproductquality,whichisdefinedbytexture,color,fla-vor,andshelflife.
Duringbaking,whilemoisturemigrates to theproduct surface, it encountersaheavy,cool,moist,andstagnantlayeraroundtheproductsurface,whichactsasan insulatorandgreatlyslowsheat transfer(WalkerandSparman,1989).Naturalconvectionisnotenoughtomovethiscoldlayeraroundtheproductsurface(Henke,1985;WalkerandSparman,1989).Blowingairhorizontallyaroundtheproductsur-facebyforcedconvectiononlydecreasesthiscoldlayer(Henke,1985).Ontheotherhand,impinginghigh-velocityhotairjetsontotheproductsurfaceremovesthiscoldboundary layerand replaces itwithhotteranddrierair.This results in increasedheatandmasstransferrateattheproductsurfacewhichhelpstoachievethedesireduniformbaking(Henke,1985;Walker,1987;WalkerandSparman,1989;WalkerandLi,1993;YinandWalker,1995).

Theotherreasonforhighmoistureretentioninproductsbakedinjetimpinge-mentovensisthequickcrustformation.Ahigherrateofsurfacemoistureremovalunderhotair jet impingement results inquickcrust formation.Because thecrusthaslowermoisturediffusivity,theproductretainsmoremoistureinside,whichcanenhancetheperceivedqualityof theprocessedfood(Walker,1987), includinganincreaseinshelflifeaswellasretentionofsomekeyhealth-promotingnutraceuticalcompoundssuchasOmega-3fattyacids(Borquezetal.,1999).Inaddition,greatermoistureretentionresultsinimprovedflavorretention(Henke,1985).

To summarize, the benefits of air impingement over conventional baking aredecreasedprocessingtime,lowerprocesstemperatures,energyefficiency,uniformheating,andreducedmoistureloss(Henke,1985;Olssonetal.,2005;WalkerandLi,1993).Theproductsbakedinjetimpingementovenshaveimprovedtexture,uni-formlybakedsurface,andinternalstructure(Henke,1985).
Insomebakingapplications,jetimpingementisnotrequiredduringthewholebakingprocess.Instead,differentbakingzoneswithdifferentprocessingtimes,airvelocities, and temperatures are applied to achieve products with desired bakingqualities.Theuseofhighvelocitiesofairatlowtemperaturesduringtheearlystagesofbakinggivesagoodovenspringwithminimumcrustdevelopment.Thispermitsrapidheatmovementtothecenteroftheproduct,whichthenisheldinanintermedi-atezonewherethecrumbstructuredevelops.Finally,theapplicationofhighoventemperatureresultsincrispandbrowncrust(Walker,1987).Ifhightemperatureisappliedtotheproductattheearlystagesofbaking,adry,thickcrustcandevelop.Theformationofathickcrustretardsproperbakingatthecenterbecausethecrustactsasaninsulator(Walker,1987).Differentcombinationsofairtemperature,veloc-ity, andprocessing timescanbeused toachieveacrustwithadesired thickness(WalkerandSparman,1989).Rapidinitialbakingiscriticalinsomeproductswithdense,moistcenters,suchasfruitpies,toachieveabrown,flavorfulcrust,withthedarkening characteristic of dextrinization, caramelization, and theMaillard reac-tions,butoverbakingshouldbeavoidedwhilethecenterheatscompletely(Walker,1987;WalkerandSparman,1989).

The usage of microwave baking in the food industry is limited. In the early1990s, APV Baker (UK) introduced a microwave–conventional baking oven forpostbaking. This oven was developed as an alternative for radio frequency (RF)heating(Bengtsson,2001).Becausemicrowaveequipmentismorecompact,flexible,andconsideredasadvancedtechnology,thereisrecentlyatendencytowardhybridovensinsteadofRFinbakingandpostbakingprocesses.Microwaveovensworkingat896MHzhavebeenreportedinBritainforbreadbakingandproductionofbreadcrumbs(Bengtsson,2001).

11.3.2 qualiTydeFeCTsinmiCrowave-BakedProduCTs
Microwave-bakedsoftwheatproductshavevariousqualityproblemssuchaslowvol-ume,firmortoughtexture,andhighmoistureloss(Sumnu,2001).Thelowvolumeandfirmortoughtexturecanbeexplainedbytheinsufficientstarchgelatinization.Duetotheshorttimeofmicrowaveheating,thereisnotenoughtimeforstarchtocompleteitsgelatinization.Itisassumedthatthespecificinteractionofmicrowavewithglutenisresponsibleforthetoughnessofbakedproducts.Theexactmechanismofinteractionofmicrowaveswithglutenisnotknown.Campanaetal.(1993)showedthatdryingofwheatbymicrowavesdidnotaffecttotalproteincontentbutchangedthefunctionalityofgluten.Rogersetal.(1990)showedthatthemicrowavetoughen-ingeffectwasnottheresultofcross-linkingbydisulfidebondformation.
Another reason for thehard textureofbakedproducts inmicrowaveovens isthehighmoisturelossintheseproducts.Itwasshownbyvariousresearchersthatmicrowave-bakedproductsweredrier thanconventionallybakedones (Keskin etal.,2004;Lambertetal.,1992;Seyhunetal.,2003;Sumnuetal.,1999,2005).Thiscanbeexplainedby thedifference in themechanismsofmicrowaveheatingandconventionalheating.AsexplainedinSection11.3.1,thereisinternalheatgenera-tioninmicrowaveheating.Thiscreatessignificantpressureandconcentrationgra-dients,whichincreasetheflowofmoisturethroughthefoodtotheboundary(Datta,1990).Inaddition,thecrustformedinconventionalproductscannotbeobtainedinmicrowave-bakedproducts.Thus,thereisnocrustonthesurfaceoftheseproductstorestrictmoistureloss.
Crustandsurfacecolorcannotbeformedinmicrowave-bakedproducts.Micro-wavesaregeneratedinsidethefoodsandtheairinsidethemicrowaveovenisnotheated.Therefore, thesurface temperatureof theproductscannot reach tempera-turesnecessaryforMaillardandcaramelizationreactions.Inaddition,themoistureremovedfrommicrowave-bakedproductscondenseswhenitcomesincontactwiththeairatambienttemperatureatthesurface.Becausethemoisturecontentatthesurfaceoftheproductishigh,adrycrustcannotbeformed.
BecauseMaillardandcaramelizationreactionsarenotobservedinmicrowave-bakedproducts,flavorsgeneratedasa resultof these reactionsarealsoabsent intheseproducts,andthearomaprofileofamicrowave-bakedcakeissimilartothatofbatter.WhortonandReineccius (1990) showed that aromas (nutty,brown,andcaramel type) observed in a conventional cake were absent in microwave-bakedcakes.Inaddition,unwantedflavorssuchasflouroregg-likeflavorsdevelopduringthemicrowavebakingofcakes.Itispossibletomasktheseundesiredflavorsandtoobtainasimilarflavorprofilewithconventionallybakedcakesbyaddingflavoringagentstothecakerecipe(SumnuandSahin,2005).
Rapid staling is another problem in microwave-baked cakes. The stal-ing mechanism of microwave-baked cakes is still unclear. High moisture loss inmicrowave-bakedproductswasthoughttobeoneofthereasonsforthestalingofmicrowave-bakedproducts.Itwasshownthatshelflifeofbreadwasincreasedbyincreasingitsmoisturecontentby2%(Stauffer,2000).Ahighamountofamylosethatisleachedduringmicrowavebakingmaybeanotherreasonfortherapidstal-ingofmicrowavereheatedbreads(HigoandNoguchi,1987)andmicrowave-baked

Lewandowiczetal.(2000)showedthatmicrowaveheatingreducedcrystallinity,solubility,andswellingcharacteristicsofwheatandcornstarches.However,micro-waveheatingdidnotaffectthosecharacteristicsofwaxycornstarch.Starchgelati-nizationofmicrowave-treatedsamplesoccurredathighertemperatures.Table11.4shows the gelatinization temperatures and gelatinization enthalpy of native andmicrowave-heated cereal starches. As can be seen in Table11.4, wheat and cornstarcheswerepartiallygelatinizedinthemicrowaveoven.However,gelatinizationofwaxycorninmicrowaveheatingwasfoundtobeinsignificantbecausegelatini-zation enthalpy values of native and microwave-treated samples were almost thesame.
Palav and Seetharaman (2006) investigated whether the starch gelatinizationstepsinthemicrowaveovenweredifferentfromthoseinconventionalheating.Theyfoundthatswellingofstarchgranulesheatedbymicrowavesdidnotoccurpriortothelossofbirefringence.However,instarchgranulesheatedbyconduction,swellingandlossofbirefringenceoccurredsimultaneously.Thelossofcrystallinearrange-ment inmicrowave-heated samplesoccurred at a lower temperature compared tothatobservedforconduction-heatedsamples.Duetotherotationalmotionofpolarmolecules,thecrystallinelamellaofamylopectinwasaffected,crystalarrangementwasdestroyed,andnoswellingoccurred.Granuleswellingwasobservedat tem-peraturesgreaterthan65°Cinmicrowaveheating.Granuleswellingfollowedlossofbirefringence.Thisisincontrasttoconductionheatinginwhichtheswellingofstarchgranulesandmeltingofcrystallitesaresemicooperativeprocesses.

Combiningconventionalheatingwithmicrowaveheatingproducedcakeswithqualitiessimilartothosethatwereconven-tionallybaked(Bilgenetal.,2004).
Cakequalitywasfoundtobeafunctionofconcentrationofmonocalciumphos-phatemonohydrate, which is present in the baking powder. As the concentrationof monocalcium phosphate monohydrate increased, the specific volume of cakesdecreased,andcrumbfirmnessincreased(MartinandTsen,1981).Whencellstruc-turesofmicrowaveandconventionallybakedcellswere investigatedbyscanningelectron microscope, it was found that cell structures of microwave-baked cakeswerecoarserthanthoseofconventionallybakedcakes.Cellsinmicrowave-bakedcakes were irregular and had thicker cell walls than did those in conventionallybakedcakes.

Characteristics of cake batter during baking were studied by Megahey et al.(2005).Inmicrowavebaking,batterexpandedrapidlyduringtheinitial30to50sec,butduringconventionalbakingitwaswithin420sec.Thiswasfollowedbyaperiodof slight shrinkage of cakes. Cakes baked at 250 W power in a microwave ovenshowedimprovedspringiness,firmness,andmoisturecontentascomparedtocakebakedinaconventionaloven.
11.3.5 miCrowave-BakedCookies
In the baking industry, checking is a failure in cookies, which is due to unevenexpansion or contraction of moisture due to nonuniform distribution of moisturewithintheproduct.Microwavebakingwasfoundtosignificantlyreducecheckingto5%comparedto61%inaconventionallybakedcookie(Ahmadetal.,2001).Within24hafterbaking,biscuitshadanaverageof18%checking,andmicrowavedbiscuitshadanaverageof1%checking.Thisshowedthatmoreuniforminternalmoistureprofilescanbeobtained inmicrowavebaking.Thepostbakingofbiscuitscanbedonebymicrowavestoreducecheckingandtoimproveproductquality(Ahmadetal.,2001).
The rate of weight loss of microwave-baked biscuits was significantly higherthanconventionalbaking(PanandCastell-Perez,1997).Whenfinalbakingincon-ventionalgasandmicrowaveovenswascompared,highermoisturelossandmini-malcolorchangeoccurredinmicrowaveheating(Sosa-Moralesetal.,2004).

Althoughmicrowaveovensprovidemoreuniformheatingoftheinteriorregionsofaproductinashortertime,thelackofcrustformationandsurfacecolordevelop-mentaretheirdrawbacks(WalkerandLi,1993).Intensivemicrowaveheatingcauseshighinternalpressurethatpushesmorewatertotheproductsurfacewhichshouldberemovedbytheadditionofhotairorinfraredheating(Nietal.,1999).Astudyinvestigatingthetemperatureandmoistureprofilesforinfraredandhotairassistedheatingshowedthatforfoodswithlargerinfraredpenetrationdepth,infraredheat-ingcanactuallyincreasethesurfacemoisturethathastoberemovedbyconvectionheatingtoobtaincrust(DattaandNi,2002).Anotherstudyinvestigatingtheeffectofairflowonheatandmasstransferinamicrowaveovenshowedthatconvectionimprovestheheattransferandreducesmoistureaccumulationinsidetheoven(Ver-bovenetal.,2003).
Considering the advantages of air impingement and microwave ovens, rapidmicrowave baking of the interior of the product matches quite well with rapidimpingementbakingwhich leads toquickcrust formationandcolordevelopment(Datta et al., 2005;Walker andLi, 1993;Yin andWalker, 1995).Duringbakinginamicrowaveoven,whenthewatervaporleavestheproduct,itcomesincontactwithcool air at the surface,whichcausescondensationof thevaporat theprod-uctsurfaceandleadstoasoggysurfacetexture.Inaddition,thiscoolambientairinsidethemicrowaveovencausessurfacecooling,andthelowsurfacetemperaturepreventsMaillardreactionsandcaramelizationfromtakingplace.Impinginghigh-velocityhotairtotheproductsurfacereplacesthiscoolstagnantairwithhotanddryair, increases theheat transfer rate,and removes thesurfacemoisture,whichleadstoquickcrustformationandcolordevelopment.Combiningmicrowavewithhigh-velocityimpingementheatingwouldfurtherdecreasetheprocessingtimeandformasurfacecrustrapidly,whichwouldlockthemoistureinsideandthuspreventexcessivedryingoftheproduct.

It has been reported, however, that low-sugar diets can result inweightreduction(Colditzetal.,1990),inallprobabilitybecauseoftheirlowercalo-riecontent;someresearchershavesuggestedthatobeseindividualsshowamarkedpreferenceforsugar-richfoods(Drewnowskietal.,1991).Itmayverywellbethatallthisevidencehashelpedkeepalivethenotionthatsugarconsumptionresultsinweightgain.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (seed and fish oils) lower blood cholesterol levelsbut do not help raise the HDL levels. Alternatively, monounsaturated fatty acids(olive oil) do not modify blood cholesterol levels but raise HDL levels and havethenapositiveeffect.Asarule,areducedintakeofsaturatedfattyacidsnotover10%ofdailycalorieintakeisrecommended.Therecommendedratiointhefattyacidintakeis1/1/1(saturated/monounsaturated/polyunsaturated),keepinginmindthatthereshouldbeanadequateintakeofessentialfattyacids(nomorethan1%ofkilocaloriesconsumed).Outstandingreviewsabouttheeffectofdifferentfattyacidsoncholesterollevelsandatherosclerosisareavailable(KhoslaandSundram,1996;Kritchevsky,2000).

Strategies for theproductionof sugar-free cakes are usuallybasedon the substi-tution of sugar by one or a combination of bulking agents capable of yielding afinishedproductwithadequatevolume,texture,andgrain.Ithasbeenestablishedthatdifferentbulkingagentsaffectthebehaviorofdoughsduringbakinginvaryingdegrees,therebyaffectingtheeventualvolumeandstructure(Ikawa,1998).Rondaetal.(2005)comparedthecapacityofsevenbulkingagentsassugarsubstitutesinspongecakes.Topperformerswerexylitol andmaltitol, followedby sorbitol; thehighpriceofxylitol,however,hasresultedinitsbeingsupersededbymaltitolasthemostwidelyusedinsugar-freecakemanufacture.Thesamestudypointedoutthatcakesmanufacturedwithpolyolsyieldedlightercakesbecausetheyareunaffectedby Maillard reactions. Conversely, those cakes manufactured with oligofructoseandpolydextroseresultedindarkercolors,asrepeatedlyreportedbyotherstudies(Estelleretal.,2006;Hicsasmazetal.,2003)andsuggestingthatthecombinationofthesebulkingagentswithpolyolsassugarsubstitutesmayprovidepositiveresults(Penna et al., 2003). In fact, Frye and Setser (1992) optimized a sugar-free cakeformulationusingblendsof polydextrose anddifferent polyolswithgood results.Moreover,emulsifierscanbeusedtobuffertheadverseeffectsofthesubstitutionofsugarbybulkingagents(KamelandRasper,1988).Intheseinstances,acorrectchoiceoftypeanddosageofemulsifierisessential.

Apartfromtheirappearance,volume,andtexture,sugar-freeproductsmustalsobeassessedbytheirflavorandaroma.Itisanestablishedfactthatdifferentbulk-ingagentsexhibitvaryingsweeteningeffectsaswellasdiversearomaticandtasteprofiles. In some formulations, particularly when using bulking agents with lowsweeteningpower,suchaspolydextrose,theadditionofanintensesweetener,likeacesulfame-K,aspartame,oranyother,mayberequired(Attiaetal.,1993;Free-man,1989).Somesugarsubstitutescauseanunpleasantaftertaste,likesometypesofpolydextrose(FryeandSetser,1992),andhavetobemaskedbyothersweeteningorflavoringagents.
Overall,itisdifficulttomakegeneralrecommendationsforthesubstitutionofsugar in cakes.Thedivergenceofviews reported in the literaturehighlights thatdifficulty.Thus, it is known thatpolydextrose raises the temperatureof thegela-tinizationofstarch(Paterasetal.,1994)andlowersbatterstability(Hicsasmazetal.,2003).This, in turn, affectsair retentionduringbaking, theexpansionof theproduct,andthefinalvolume.However,althoughHicsasmazetal.(2003)foundthatcakesmanufacturedwithpolydextroseas sucrose substitute showedfineanduni-formgrain,Koceretal.(2007)reportedoppositeresults.Ontheotherhand,Rosen-thal(1995)suggestedthattheriseinthestarchgelatinizationtemperatureproducedbypolydextrosecanbeusedtoimprovethemanufactureofcakeswithagedeggsasaresultofanincreaseintheeggproteindenaturationtemperature.Allthesedif-feringresultsindicatethatcakemanufacturingdependsontheinteractionofmanyfactors, for example, the type of cake sought, formulation, and raw materials. Ineachparticularformulation,therefore,differentblendsofsugarsubstitutesshouldbetested,andthentheresultsverified,includingboththephysicochemicalandsensorypropertiesofthefinishedproduct.

Anotherbulkingagentcommonlyused,aloneorcombinedwithpolyols,inthemanufactureofsugar-freecookiesispolydextrose.Becauseofitsverylowsweet-ening effect, it must be supplemented with an intense sweetener.

Broadly speaking, carbohydrate-based fat replacers are the most widely usedintheprocessingoffat-freecakes,owingtotheircapacitytoprovideproductswithgoodorganolepticproperties (Bathetal.,1992;Swansonetal.,2002),whichcaneven be improved by the addition of emulsifiers (Khalil, 1998). The substitutionof fatsbymaltodextrins incakescausesa reduction inbatterviscosity,which, inturn,leadstoasmallerfinalvolume(Lakshminarayanetal.,2006).Thesamestudyreported that thebest resultswereobtainedwhen theamountof fat removedwasreplacedbyasmalleramountofmaltodextrin,approximately50%,althoughcakesthus manufactured exhibited moderately sticky texture and mouthfeel. Moreover,itwasshown that theadditionof smallamountsofglycerolmonostearate (GMS)improvedvolume,entrapmentofairinthebatter,andthesensoryqualityofthecake,withlessdensecrumbgrainandlessstickytexture.Theadditionofsodiumsteroyllactylate,however,failedtoyieldthesamebeneficialeffects,provingthatthechoiceofanappropriateemulsifierisessential.Incakesprocessedwithmaltodextrinasfatreplacer,theirphysicalandsensorycharacteristicscanalsobeimprovedbyaddingcornamylodextrin(Kimetal.,2001).

Although several studies about theprocessingof fat-freecookieshavebeenpub-lished,nocomprehensivecomparisonofallthedifferentsubstitutesisyetavailable.Fat-free formulations for cookiesyielddoughsdrasticallychanged in textureandfinishedproductswithdifferentphysicalandsensorycharacteristics.Thesechangescanbeminimizedbyincludingintheformulationdifferentfatreplacers,althoughinallcases,acceptabilityisnotaswideaswiththeregularproducts.Cookieswithlowfatcontenttendtoexhibitlesssurfacecracking,fewersurfaceprotusions,moreuniform cells, and more mouthcoating, apart from a different flavor (Armbristerand Setser, 1994). Carbohydrate-, protein-based, and fiber-derived replacers havebeentestedwithvaryingresults.Sudhaetal.(2007)establishedthattheadditionofmaltodextrinorpolydextrosereducedtheeffectsoffatremovalontheprocessingofcookies,andwiththeadditionofemulsifiersorguargum,thequalityofthefinishedproductapproachedthatoftheoriginalbutwasneverquitethesame.Sanchezetal.(1995)optimizedaformulationofreduced-fatshortbreadcookieswithdifferentfatreplacers.Thisstudyshowedthatcookieswithlowfatcontentexhibitedincreasedmoistureandtoughness,andlessspecificvolume;theadditionofemulsifiersledtoimprovedresults.Amodificationoftheprocessingofthedoughwasintroducedtoobtainlow-fatshortbreadcookies.Zouliasetal.(2002b)compareddifferentcarbo-hydrate-andprotein-basedfatreplacersandobservedsignificantdifferencesamongthevariousreplacers;thebestresultswereobtainedwithinulin(Raftiline),ablendofmicroparticulatedwheyproteinsandemulsifiers(Simplesse),andanoat-derivedproduct rich in ß-glucans (C*Light). Among all these, Simplesse yielded cookiesverysimilarindiametertotheoriginalcookiesbutwithhighervaluesofmoisturecontent(Zouliasetal.,2002a).
Additionalfatreplacers in themanufactureofdifferent typesofcookieshavebeentestedwithsimilarresults,includingoat-derivedfiberproducts(CharltonandSawyer-Morse, 1996; Conforti et al., 1997; Inglett et al., 1994; Lee and Inglett,2006),prunepaste (CharltonandSawyer-Morse,1996),hydrocolloid-basedprod-ucts(Confortietal.,1997),orokragum(Romanchick-Cerpoviczetal.,2002).Allofthemarecapableofminimizingtheeffectsoffatremoval,buttheyfailtomatchthephysicochemicalpropertiesoftheregularproducts.Ontheotherhand,thestrategyforthemanufactureoflow-fatcookiescannotfocusonanapproachbasedonasinglefatreplacerwhenablendofreplacersismorelikelytobesuccessfulinimprovingthefinalresult(Zoulias,2000b).Finally,theimportanceofreducingfatcontentinfillingsandicingsshouldnotbeoverlooked—thiscouldbeobtainedwiththerightblendofwheyproteinandhydrocolloids(Laneuvilleetal.,2005).
