The invention discloses a method for making a
sponge cake by completely replacing butter with oleogel, and belongs to the technical field of
food processing. The butter in a traditional
sponge cake formula is completely replaced with the oleogel according to the
mass ratio of 100%. According to the oleogel, a
pea protein-high methoxyl
pectin electrostatic compound is used as a gel agent, a three-dimensional
structured lipid network is constructed by regulating and controlling the pH value of a
system and the concentration of
pectin, a liquid
oil phase is effectively fixed, and the oleogel has excellent
structural stability, thixotropic restorability and
thermal stability. In the stirring and baking process, the oleogel provides necessary mechanical support and keeps a batter bubble
system and a cake tissue structure stable, so that the
sponge cake which is ideal in
specific volume, uniform in pore and soft in texture is obtained, and the quality of the
sponge cake reaches the level equivalent to that of a traditional butter cake. Zero-trans and low-saturated-fat healthy
fat replacement is achieved, meanwhile, the
processing adaptability and sensory quality of the
sponge cake are kept, and a new technical approach and application prospects are provided for development of healthy baked food.
