This study aims to evaluate the effects of pre-treatments such as soaking-peeling, cooking, and roasting lentil seeds on the functional characteristics (water and oil absorption, and emulsification) of lentil flour. The optimal treatment was then selected and replaced with rice flour in gluten-free cake formulation to investigate its effects on functional, physical, qualitative, and sensory properties of the cake. Lentil seed flour was replaced with rice flour at levels of 30%, 50%, and 80%. The examination of different pretreatments revealed that cooked lentil flour exhibited the highest water absorption (2.00%), oil absorption (1.38%), and emulsification capacity (44.60%). Cooked lentil flour was chosen as the optimal treatment and incorporated into the gluten-free cake formulation. Results showed that increasing the amount of lentil flour replacement led to higher density, consistency of the dough, moisture, protein, and a* index of the cakes, while hardness, L* and b* indices decreased. Sensory evaluation results indicated that up to 50% replacement with cooked lentil flour did not significantly alter general acceptance. Therefore, based on the study's findings, it is suggested to replace 50% of rice flour with cooked lentil flour in gluten-free cake formulation.
