Abstract

Chiffon cakes were prepared using various concentrations of aloe gel to develop functional baking procedures. The quality characteristics of chiffon cakes prepared after addition of 20%, 40%, or 60% (w/w) aloe gel, substituting for the same levels of wheat flour, were investigated. No significant weight difference between cakes was observed. The height of cakes containing aloe gel was significantly greater than that of control cakes. The baking loss rate (BLR) of aloe gel decreased as the amount of gel increased, and cakes prepared using 60% (w/w) aloe gel had the lowest BLR. Moisture contents of cakes prepared using aloe gel were higher than that of control cakes. Cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel had the highest moisture content. The pore size of cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel was the smallest of all groups. Crumb color became whiter as the proportion of aloe gel increased. Lightness (L value) of control cake was lower than that of cake containing aloe gel. Redness (a value) of aloe chiffon cakes increased as the proportion of aloe gel rose. Yellowness (b value) of cakes with 40% (w/w) aloe gel was significantly higher than that of the control group. Other cakes showed no difference in b value compared with control cake. Hardness in all cakes prepared with aloe gel was significantly lower than that of the control group. Adhesiveness of control cake was significantly lower than that of other cakes. No significant between-group difference in springiness was observed. The cohesiveness of cakes with 40% (w/w) aloe gel was significantly lower than that of the control group and that of cakes with 20% (w/w) aloe gel. The gumminess and chewiness of control cakes were significantly higher than those of other cakes. The yellowness of cake with 60% (w/w) aloe gel was significantly lower than that of the other groups. Pore size decreased after the addition of aloe gel. There was no significant difference in appearance among cakes thus, all cakes were acceptable to potential consumers. Although no perceptible difference in aloe odor was evident, cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel scored significantly lower in flavor acceptance compared with other cakes. No significant between-cake difference in taste acceptance, perceived moisture level, or texture acceptability was observed. Cakes with 40% and 60% (both w/w) aloe gel were of significantly higher density than other cakes. Overall, the acceptability of cakes with 60% (w/w) aloe gel was lower than that of other cakes. Ultimately, the results indicated that quality can be enhanced by adding less than 40% (w/w) aloe gel to chiffon cakes as a substitute for wheat flour.

기능성 소재로서 알로에를 활용하여, 쉬폰 케이크를 개발하기 위하여 알로에 겔을 여러 농도로 첨가하여 쉬폰케이크를 제조하였다. 알로에 겔을 박력분 대비 20%, 40% 그리고 60%, 첨가하여 알로에 쉬폰 케이크를 제조한 후, 알로에 쉬폰 케이크의 품질 특성을 조사하였다. 중량은 대조군과 알로에 겔 첨가군간 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 높이는 알로에 겔 첨가군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높이가 낮게 나타났다. 굽기 손실률은 알로에 겔 첨가량이 증가됨에 따라 감소하였고, 60% 알로에 겔 첨가군의 굽기 손실률이 유의적으로 가장 낮았다. 수분함량은 알로에 겔첨가군이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 높았으며, 60% 알로에 겔 첨가군의 수분 함량이 가장 높았다. 기공의 크기를 관찰한 결과 60% 알로에 겔 첨가군의 기공이 가장 작았다. 그리고 crumb의 색은 알로에 겔의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 흰색이 강해졌다. 대조군의 L(Lightness) 값은 알로에 겔 첨가군 보다 낮았다. a value(Redness)는 알로에 겔 함량이 증가함에 따라 함께 증가하였다. 40% 알로에 겔이 첨가된 케이크의 b value(Yellowness)만이 대조군보다 유의적으로 높았다. 다른 군의 b value는 대조군과 차이를 보이지 않았다. 모든 군의 경도는 대조군보다 유의적으로 낮았다. 대조군의 부착성이 다른 군에 비해 가장 낮았다. 탄력성은 군간 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 응집성은 알로에 겔 40% 첨가군이 대조군과 알로에 겔 20% 첨가군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다. 대조군의 검성과 씹힘성은 알로에 첨가군에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다. 케익의 노란색은 알로에 겔 60% 첨가군에서 가장 낮았다. 또한, 알로에 겔을 첨가한 경우 기공의 크기가 감소하였다. 외관의 전체적인 선호도는 군간 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 비록 알로에 냄새는 알로에 겔 처리군과 대조군 사이에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 냄새 선호도는 알로에 겔 60% 첨가군이 다른군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다. 맛 선호도, 촉촉함 그리고 질감 선호도는 군간에 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 알로에 겔 40% 와 60% 첨가군이 유의적으로 높은 조밀도를 나타내었다. 전체적인 선호도는 60% 알로에 겔 첨가군이 다른 군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다. 결론적으로, 알로에 겔을 쉬폰 케이크에 첨가하여 제품 제시 밀가루 대비 40% 이하로 첨가하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.
