乳化剤はケーキの体積とクラムの柔らかさにどう影響する?

Pastry, Cakes & Desserts

Research suggests that emulsifiers can make sponge cakes rise higher and have a softer crumb, but the effect depends on the emulsifier and how much is used. They help the batter incorporate and stabilize air; some studies found increased cake volume and reduced crumb firmness or greater softness.

In one study, increasing a monoglyceride-based emulsifier dosage increased cake specific volume and crumb softness. Another study found that increasing sodium lauryl sulphate increased cake volume and lowered crumb firmness. Other research indicates that emulsifier type, concentration, bubble structure, and the rest of the recipe all matter, so there is no single universally best emulsifier or dose.
