Abstract

Mexico's white and sweet bread consumption is nearly 33 kg per capita in which pound cake also called "panque" represents 7% of sweet bread consumption. Recently microwaves has been used for bread baking, nevertheless researchers have reported bread's accelerated staling due to a higher moisture loss compared with conventional baking. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect on the volume of a pound cake baked in a two-cycle microwave oven added with 13% orange by-products. The pound cake baked in two-cycle microwave oven achieved larger volume (74±2 cm3) than pound cake conventionally baked (65± 2 cm3) and softer texture (0.76±0.15 kg/cm2) than the conventionally baked (1.26±0.15 kg/cm2).
