Gluten free food products are important dietary supplements for persons suffering from celiac disease. Although cakes are high calorie foods, they are low in protein. Hence it was envisaged to develop high protein gluten free cake suitable for celiac patients and also for the general population as a good source of protein. The objective of this study was to develop gluten free cake mix using dehulled chickpea flour (50 to 80 g/100g), barnyard millet flour (0 to 30 g/100g) and corn flour (20 to 30 g/100g) by response surface methodology. Regression equations describing the effect of each variable on the response were obtained. |
