High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) (42% fructose) was used to replace 25, 50, 75 or 100% of the sucrose in angel cakes. Replacement with HFCS of 50, 75 or 100% of sucrose resulted in foams with lower specific gravities; decreased foam beating time; and cakes with lower volume, browner crusts, yellower crumb, firmer texture, and decreased sweetness. Replacement of 25% sucrose with HFCS did not affect greatly the physical measurements or sensory characteristics studied.
