The antioxidant capacity, phenolic acids profi le, acrylamide contents and sensory quality of ginger cakes formulated on dark and brown rye fl ours according to the traditional formula (type 1 and type 2), and on the mixed white wheat fl our with dark and brown rye fl ours due to the currently used formulation (type 3 and type 4), were studied. The antioxidant capacity of the ginger batters and cakes was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl radical (DPPH•). Phenolic acids profi le was determined by HPLC whilst acrylamide by GC-MS method. The antioxidant capacity of traditional ginger cakes determined by CV and DPPH assays was higher when compared to those formulated on white wheat and rye mixed fl ours. All types of ginger cakes showed higher antioxidant capacity and phenolic acids content in relation to the respective batters. The higher content of acrylamide by 42 and 24% was noted in traditional ginger cakes of type 1 and type 2 as compared to that noted in ginger cakes of type 3 and type 4 (49±4 μg/kg ). The overall sensory quality of traditional ginger cakes formulated on dark and brown rye fl ours (type 1 and type 2) was higher than of those formulated on white wheat and rye mixed fl ours (type 3 and type 4). The results of this study indicate the possibility of modulating the sensory and antioxidant properties of ginger cakes by the type and quality of fl ours in the formulation as well as by batter preparation and baking process.
