"PRODUCTION OF CAKE FROM CORN FLOUR"Adviser: Fe N. Dimero The study "Production of Cake from Corn Flour" was conducted at Calumpang Cerca, Indang, Cavite from July 2003 to September 2003. Specifically, this study aimed to develop a simple processing method for corn flour; produce cake from corn flour; and determine the sensory properties of cake prepared from corn flour and the functional properties from corn flour. Corn kernels were made into flour as a substitute to wheat flour in the production of cake. The following level of substitution were used: T l, 100% wheat flour; T2, 75% wheat flour and 25% corn flour; T3, 50% wheat flour and 50% corn flour; T4, 25% wheat flour and 75% corn flour; and T5, 100% corn flour. The corn flour was produced through simple processing method: drying; shredding and blending of corn kernels. Based on the result of sensory evaluation there were significant differences among samples in terms of color, texture, corn flavor, firmness and general acceptability. However, all samples were found acceptable. Treatments 3 and 5 were rated highest in terms of general acceptability. Results revealed that although color and texture varied significantly, these could not affect the general acceptability. Corn flavor and texture were other qualities of cake which greatly contributed to the acceptability of sponge cake.In general, the results revealed that corn flour could be a good substitute to wheat flour up to 100% level of substitution.
