The development of cakes with a reduced sugar content is to attain the market for people with restriction sugar, or who choose to healthier products however, the sugar not only exerts the characteristic sweetness, but also controls the main phenomena responsible for the formation of structural cakes, thus reducing their losses because the structure of the cakes. The objective of the study was to investigate the possible causes of internal deformation (formation of holes) in sponge cakes with reduced calorie. Seven formulations were developed with increasing substitution of sugar for sweeteners solutions (sucralose / acesulfame K) and xanthan gum. Were produced without wheat flour, which flour has been replaced entirely of gluten powder to verify that only the starch contributes to the deformations presented. Later cakes were produced using wheat flour, with the objective of evaluating the effects of replacing sugar to sweeteners for solutions of xanthan gum on the thermal properties of starch gelatinization and apparent viscosity of the dough cakes. The results of cake wheat flour without demonstrated that replacement of the sugar and sweeteners solutions of xanthan gum, negatively interfering on the functions of the proteins, ruling out the possibility that the starch is the sole agent to contribute with the observed deformations. The results of cakes produced with wheat flour indicated that the use of sweeteners and xanthan gum as a sugar substitute exhibited a higher capacity than sugar and starch to bind water system, raising the temperature (To and Tp) and enthalpies gelatinization resulting in the decrease of the degree of gelatinization and the appearance of dark zones, which appears to have been caused by the the accumulation of compounds of Maillard reaction. The results of the viscosity demonstrate that the sweeteners does not interfere with the development of the viscous behavior of the mass being attributed to the use of xanthan gum was unable to maintain the function of the sugar cakes, contributing to a low volume and formation of holes in the internal structure of cakes. Further study on the stability of the air cells in solutions of gum and / or with other bulking agents such as emulsifiers is suggested.
