Abstract:The rheological properties of cake batter are critical factors determining the baking quality of the cake. In this experiment, Matzhu and Matcha with substitution ratios of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%, w/w, were added to Chiffon cake batter instead of low-gluten wheat flour, which increasing dietary fiber and to reducing the gluten protein content of the cake, and provide more options for consumers with gluten allergies. The effects of different substitution levels of Matzhu and Matcha on the rheological properties of the cake batter were studied using by rheometer. The research results showed that the viscosity, elastic modulus G' and viscous modulus G' of Matzhu cake batter decreased with the increase of the substitution ratio between 0% and 15%, and more air could be wrapped in the batter, which was conducive to the stirring and rising of the batter. However, the change trend of rheological properties of matcha was completely opposite to that of matzhu. With the matcha substitution ratio increased, the viscosity of the cake batter, G "and G", increased quickly, when the substitution ratio was 5%, the paste viscosity was 2.28 times than that of matzhu batter,which had little effect on the rheological properties of the batter. However, if the substitution ratio increased to 20%, the batter viscosity was 133 times than that of matzhu. At this time, the air couldn’t be wrapped in the batter, and the batter hardness increased sharply, resulting in rising difficulties, which would affect the baking quality of the cake in the later period. Therefore, compared with matcha, matzhu not only had a higher substitution ratio, but also reduced the viscosity of the batter, the difficulty of rising, and improve the quality of the cake. The effect of structural and property differences on baking quality will be further studied.
