The effects of replacement of sucrose with isomaltooligosaccharide(IMO) on physical, sensory and textural characteristics of high-ratio cakes were investigated. As IMO level increased, the specific gravity of batter decreased and the moisture content of crumb increased. A higher degree of IMO replacement for sucrose made cakes softer and more moist. The 40% and 60% IMO replcement cakes showed good acceptability. The hardness, chewiness and gumminess measured by texture analyzer were decreased with increasing IMO level.
