Abstract

Background; Bakery products such as cakes are widely consumed all over the world; so, their enrichment with nutrients is an effective way to prompt the people health. This goal can be achieved using the powder of dried fruit and vegetable in cake formulation. Scope and approach; In this paper, the effects of dried fruits and vegetable powder (apple, quince, orange, various berries, grape pomace, mango, peach, melon, carrot, pumpkin and mushroom) on the batter rheology, physicochemical properties, organoleptic aspects and microbial attributes of the cakes were reviewed. It was determined that these kinds of powder raised the fibers content and nutritional values of the cakes (antioxidants, vitamins and minerals). The high water absorption capacity of the fiber affects batter rheology, the texture, volume, density and microbial attributes of the cake. Key finding and conclusion; In conclusion, powder of fruit and vegetable exhibited benefits of attracting the consumers by improving appearance, texture, nutritional values, sensorial properties and shelf life of the cake.
