Study on formula optimization of Cordyceps militaris,Hericium erinaceus and Tremella fuciformis composite cake by response surface methodology
The optimal formula of the Cordyceps militaris-Hericium erinaceus-Tremella fuciformis mushroom composite cake was investigated in this research.The appearance,structure,springiness,and flavor of the cake were used as the response variable.The addition amount of Cordyceps militaris powder,the addition amount of Hericium erinaceus powder,and the addition amount of Tremella fuciformis powder were investigated by single factor experiments and response surface design.The Box-Behnken design experiment was used to analyze the three-dimensional map and contour map to obtain the optimal formula of the cake.The results showed that based on the quality of the batter mass,the optimal recipe for the edible composite composite cakewas:160 g egg white,80 g yolk,90 g low gluten flour,80 g milk,40 g oil,and 90 g sugar,4%Cordyceps militaris powder,2%Hericium erinaceus powder,and 2%Tremella fuciformis powder.Under the optimal conditions,the sensory score of composite cake was 65.47,closing to the predicted value(64.97).
