Abstract :The study aimed to evaluate the use of refractance window-dried egg powders in cake production. It was found that liquid egg white (WL) resulted in the lowest batter density of 1.05 g/mL, followed by egg white powder (WP) at 1.16 g/mL. The highest specific volume was determined in WL samples at 2.71 ml/g, followed by WP samples at 2.46 mL/g. In addition, the use of powdered eggs reduced baking loss but also caused a decrease in the crumb lightness value. Furthermore, the usage of WP had a positive effect on the hardness value of cake samples, which decreased from 884.01 g to 720.53 g. Finally, the alternative use of egg powder had a positive effect on crumb appearance, increasing both cell count and total cell area. Therefore, the incorporation of powdered eggs by refractance window drying instead of liquid eggs in cake production can be considered an applicable approach due to the various benefits it offers.Keywords : Kek kalite özellikleri, toz yumurta, kırınım pencereli kurutma, kek
