This study aimed to optimize mixtures of whey protein concentrate (WPC) and two flours of rice and maize flours for the production of gluten-free sponge cakes. This was obtained by using mixture design methodology. WPC incorporation had positive effects on specific volume and baking loss of cakes, whilst, their incorporation increased their hardness. Considering all cakes properties, two formulas F1 (78.5% Maize, 15% Rice and 6.5% WPC) and F2 (82.4% Maize, 12% Rice and 5.6% WPC) were optimized using a mixture design. The microstructure F1 was more organized and very well structured with smaller aggregates. According to the organoleptic evaluation, F1 was also most appreciated by the tasting panel. The findings of the present study indicated that maize and rice flours, and WPC could be used as a substitute for wheat flour in producing sponge cakes of high quality.
