Aralin 1Sugar alcohols at polyols: digestive tolerance, browning at caramelization limitations, best-use percentagesTumutok ang seksyong ito sa sugar alcohols na ginagamit sa diet cakes, kabilang ang erythritol, xylitol, at maltitol. Matututo ka ng digestive tolerance, epekto sa browning at caramelization, at safe usage ranges para balansehin ang lasa at comfort.
Overview ng common baking polyols at formsDigestive tolerance at labeling considerationsBrowning at caramelization limits gamit ang polyolsPag-set ng percentage caps para sa home formulationsPag-combine ng polyols sa fibers at sweetenersPagbawas ng cooling effect at crystallizationAralin 2Alternative flours at fibers: whole-grain flours, oat flour, almond flour, coconut flour, inulin, psyllium — absorption at structure implicationsMatuto kung paano binabago ng alternative flours at fibers ang absorption, structure, at nutrition sa diet cakes. I-compare ang whole-grain, oat, almond, at coconut flours, plus inulin at psyllium, at tingnan kung paano mag-rebalance ng liquids, fats, at leavening.
Pag-compare ng gluten at non-gluten flour behaviorsWhole-grain at oat flour sa lighter sponge cakesAlmond at coconut flour: fat at absorptionPaggamit ng inulin para sa bulk, fiber, at mild sweetnessPsyllium husk para sa binding at crumb structureHydration at mixing tweaks para sa bagong flour blendsAralin 3Sweetener properties at usage: stevia, erythritol, xylitol, monk fruit, allulose — sweetness intensity, hygroscopicity, cooling effect, bake stabilityMakakuha ng practical guide sa stevia, erythritol, xylitol, monk fruit, at allulose. I-compare ang sweetness levels, hygroscopicity, cooling effect, at bake stability para mapili ang tamang sweetener o blend para sa bawat style ng diet cake.

Matuto kung kailan gagamitin ang yogurt, fruit purées, oils, o nut butters, at kung paano i-adjust ang formulas para manatiling tender ang cakes, hindi greasy o tuyo.

Matuto gamitin ang fruit purées, applesauce, banana, glycerin, at syrups, kung paano ito mag-bind ng water, makaapekto sa sweetness at browning, at kung paano balansehin sa starch at fat.

I-compare ang whey, milk isolates, plant proteins, at Greek yogurt, at matuto ng hydration, mixing, at baking adjustments para iwasan ang toughness o dryness.

Iyo'y mag-combine ng low-calorie sweeteners sa fibers, starches, at polyols para mapabuti ang mouthfeel, browning, at overall flavor balance.

Tinutukan ng seksyong ito ang egg white foams, chemical leaveners, emulsifiers, at hydrocolloids, plus dosing guidelines para iwasan ang collapse, gumminess, o tuyong, crumbly textures.
