Exploitation of buckwheat sourdough for the production of wheat bread

This study investigates the exploitation of buckwheat sourdough for the production of wheat bread. The fermentation induced extensive hydrolysis of buckwheat main storage proteins, but did not influence the total protein, starch and polyphenols content of buckwheat. Buckwheat sourdough was incorporated at 10 and 20?% (w/w) in wheat dough, and control doughs were produced with the addition of a chemically acidified (CA) buckwheat batter. The addition of buckwheat sourdough greatly affected the rheological properties of the dough, by inducing a strengthening of the gluten network and decrease in elasticity. The acidification of wheat dough also stimulated the baker’s yeast activity during proofing, resulting in higher release of CO₂ in shorter times (volume of CO₂ released (ml), control dough, 1,671.5; dough with 10?% sourdough, 2,600; dough with 10?% chemically acidified dough, 2,715.5). The properties of wheat bread were enhanced by the addition of 10?% buckwheat sourdough, which led to higher specific volume (control, 3.41?ml/g; bread with 10?% sourdough, 4.03?ml/g) and softer crumb (crumb hardness, control, 5.28?N; bread with 10?% sourdough, 3.93?N). On the other hand, the higher acidification level did not influence the bread volume, but slightly hardened the crumb (crumb hardness, bread with 20?% sourdough, 7.41?N; bread with 20?% chemically acidified dough, 6.48?N). The fermentation positively influenced the nutritional properties of buckwheat flour and wheat bread, in terms of polyphenols (control bread, 8.84?mg GAE/100?g; bread with 10 and 20?% sourdough, 17.83 and 18.20?mg GAE/100?g, respectively) and phytic acid contents. Incorporation of buckwheat sourdough also led to an extension in the shelf life of wheat bread, which became more evident for the higher addition level. Overall, the results of this study suggest that buckwheat sourdough represents a suitable tool for enhancing the overall quality and nutritional properties of wheat bread.     

不同发酵基质的酸面团对酵母面团体系面包烘焙及老化特性的影响

应用分离自我国传统酸面团的区域特色乳酸菌--旧金山乳杆菌分别发酵小麦粉和小麦麸皮基质制成（小麦/麦麸）酸面团,研究了两种不同发酵基质的酸面团及其添加量对酵母面团体系面包烘焙及老化特性的影响。结果表明：与小麦粉制作的空白组面包相比,小麦酸面团可以明显改善面包的比容和感官品质;添加未发酵麦麸制作的非酸面团麦麸面包品质低于空白组,但引入麦麸酸面团（10%、20%、30%）后面包比容和感官评定得分均高于相对应的非酸面团麦麸面包。小麦酸面团和麦麸酸面团以及小麦麸皮均可以改善面包的老化特性,在相同贮藏期内,酸面团面包和麦麸面包的硬度增加量、水分迁移量和老化焓值都低于空白组,并且添加麦麸酸面团的面包其硬度和老化焓值都低于相对应的非酸面团麦麸面包。     

变性淀粉对面团流变学特性和面包品质的影响

探讨不同添加量的马铃薯变性淀粉和木薯变性淀粉对面团流变学特性和面包品质的影响。结果表明:两种变性淀粉均可改善面团的流变学特性,增大面团的韧性、减小面团的延伸性,改善面团的筋力;与对照相比,马铃薯变性淀粉能有效改善面包的焙烤品质,明显增加面包的比容,有效改善面包的硬度和弹性,木薯变性淀粉对面包品质的影响不明显;马铃薯变性淀粉的最适添加量为0.8%～1.2%面粉。     

米酒老面添加量对面团及馒头品质的影响

本文研究了米酒老面添加量(40%、50%、60%、70%和80%)对面团的pH、湿面筋含量、面筋指数及馒头的比容、硬度、白度、感官评分的影响。结果表明:随着米酒老面添加量的增加,面团pH呈现下降的趋势。米酒老面添加量为60%的面团中湿面筋含量显著低于其他四种添加量(P<0.05),馒头的比容、硬度、白度和感官评分显著高于其他四种添加量(P<0.05)。相关性分析表明,面团pH与馒头的感官评分呈极显著负相关(P<0.01);面团湿面筋含量与馒头比容呈显著负相关(P<0.05),与馒头硬度呈显著正相关(P<0.05),与馒头白度呈极显著负相关(P<0.01)。面团面筋指数与馒头比容呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),与馒头硬度呈极显著负相关(P<0.01),与馒头白度呈显著正相关(P<0.05)。米酒老面的添加会改变面团和馒头的品质,其最适添加量为60%。     

Impact of sourdough fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum FST 1.7 on baking and sensory properties of gluten-free breads

Sourdoughs were produced from buckwheat, oat, quinoa, sorghum, teff and wheat flour using the heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum FST 1.7 and added to a basic bread formulation of flour from the same grain type (20 % addition level). Dough rheology, textural (crumb hardness, specific volume) and structural bread characteristics (crumb porosity, cell volume, brightness) of sourdough-containing breads were compared to non-sourdough-containing breads (control). Changes in protein profiles as analysed with capillary electrophoresis were observed in all sourdoughs. Furthermore, sourdough addition led to decreased dough strength resulting in softer dough. No influences on specific volume and hardness on day of baking were found for gluten-free sourdough breads. The staling rate was reduced in buckwheat (from 8 ± 2 to 6 ± 2 N/day) and teff sourdough bread (13 ± 1 to 10 ± 4 N/day), however, not significantly in comparison with the control breads. On the contrary, in wheat sourdough bread, the staling rate was significantly reduced (2 ± 1 N/day) in comparison with control bread (5 ± 1 N/day). Sourdough addition increased the cell volume significantly in sorghum (+61 %), teff (+92 %) and wheat sourdough breads (+78 %). Therefore, crumb porosity was significantly increased in all gluten-free and wheat sourdough breads. Shelf life for sourdough breads was one (teff and oat), two (buckwheat, quinoa and sorghum) and 3 days (wheat) and was not prolonged by sourdough addition. The inferior aroma of breads prepared from the gluten-free flours was also not improved by sourdough addition.     

Effects of wheat sourdough process on the quality of mixed oat-wheat bread

The aim of this work was to study the effects of sourdough fermentation of wheat flour with Lactobacillus plantarum, on the quality attributes of mixed oat-wheat bread (51 g whole grain oat flour and 49 g/100 g white wheat flour). Emphasis was laid both on β-glucan stability as well as bread structure and sensory quality. The variables of the sourdough process were: dough yield (DY), fermentation time, fermentation temperature, and amount of sourdough added to the bread dough. The sourdough process was shown to be a feasible method for mixed oat-wheat bread, and, when optimized, provided bread quality equal to straight dough baking. A small amount (10g/100 g dough) of slack sourdough fermented at high temperature for a long time resulted in the most optimal sourdough bread with the highest specific volume (3.5 cm³/g), the lowest firmness after 3 days storage (0.31 kg), and low sensory sourness with high intensity of the crumb flavour. Wheat sourdough parameters did not affect the content of oat β-glucan in the bread. Additionally, both straight dough and sourdough bread contained 1.4-1.6 g β-glucan/100 g fresh bread. The average molecular weight of β-glucan was 5.5 × 10⁵ in both types of bread, while that of oat flour was 10 × 10⁵. This indicates that a slight degradation of β-glucan occurred during proofing and baking, and it was not affected by variation in the acidity of the bread between pH 4.9-5.8.

Effect of Lactobacillus brevis-based bioingredient and bran on microbiological,physico-chemical and textural quality of yeast-leavened bread during storage

The effects of wheat bran and of a Lactobacillus brevis-based bioingredient (LbBio), obtained after growth in flour-based medium, on quality of yeast-leavened wheat bread (WWB) were investigated. Bran was used in bread formulation by substituting a part (20 g/100 g) of white wheat flour (WBB), while LbBio was used instead of the water content (WWB + LbBio and WBB + LbBio). The use of LbBio in WWB resulted in the biological acidification of the dough due to lactic, phenyllactic and OH-phenyllactic acid contents determining a high fermentation quotient value and an improved bread texture and microbiological quality. Conversely, wheat bran reduced the specific volume and crumb hardness during storage at 25 °C, and affected the antibacterial ability of LbBio during 30 °C storage. Our findings demonstrated that LbBio counteracted the negative effects of bran and allowed to obtain an enriched fibre bread with specific volume and soft crumb comparable to bread without bran.Industrial relevanceBread is a perishable food with a short microbiological and physico-chemical shelf-life. The main microbiological alteration occurring into few days after baking is the “rope spoilage” caused by spore-forming bacteria originating from raw materials. This phenomenon, often misinterpreted as a sign of unsuccessful dough leavening and not visible from outside, is more common under industrial production conditions during the hot season causing large economic losses in the warm climates of Mediterranean countries, Africa and Australia. The use of sourdough often controls this alteration even if the industrial application of this traditional process is limited by the long leavening times. In this study, an innovative procedure for the preparation of yeast-leavened bread comprising the addition of a fermentation product from Lactobacillus brevis grown in a flour-based medium has been applied. The resulting fermentation product (LbBio bioingredient) acts as a sourdough acidifying the dough and improving the textural, physico-chemical and microbiological properties of the resulting bread. The application of bioingredient LbBio could represent an innovative strategy in industrial bread production to obtain acidified yeast-leavened products, thus, preventing the ropy spoilage and reducing the negative effects of bran addition.     

Application of Bifidobacteria as Starter Culture in Whole Wheat Sourdough Breadmaking

This investigation is aimed at developing a new cereal-based product, with increased nutritional quality, by using Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum ATCC 27919 as starter in whole wheat sourdough fermentation and evaluating its performance. Four different sourdough levels (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% on flour basis) in bread dough formulation were analysed. The effects of the use of bifidobacteria in sourdough bread were comparatively evaluated with controls (yeast and/or chemically acidified sourdough with antibiotics). The sourdough and dough fermentative parameters analysed were pH, total titratable acidity, d/l-lactic and acetic acids. Bread performance was evaluated by specific volume, slice shape, crumb structure and firmness, crust and crumb colour, pH, total titratable acidity, and d/l-lactic and acetic acids, phytate, and lower myo-inositol phosphate contents. The sourdough breads showed similar technological quality to the control sample, with the exception of specific bread volume (decreased from 2.46 to 2.22 mL/g) and crumb firmness (increased from 2.61 to 3.18 N). Sourdough inoculated with bifidobacteria significantly increased the levels of organic acids in fermented dough and bread. The Bifidobacterium strain contributed to the fermentation process, increasing phytate hydrolysis during fermentation owing to the activation of endogenous cereal phytase and its own phytase, resulting in bread with significantly lower phytate levels (from 7.62 to 1.45 μmol/g of bread in dry matter). The inclusion of sourdough inoculated with bifidobacteria made possible the formulation of whole wheat bread with positive changes in starch thermal properties and a delay and decrease in amylopectin retrogradation.     

The microflora of sourdough. XVIII. The protein degrading capabilities of lactic acid bacteria in sourdough

Acidification of the dough by the use of sourdough or acidifiers is necessary not only for good baking quality of rye flour but it is also very important for development of the typical sensory characteristics of rye bread. We confirmed that the lactic acid bacteria of sour dough are proteolytic. Proteolytic effects are observed in the increase of the amino acid content during fermentation. A marked increase was found in the content of leucine, alanine, valine, isoleucine, glutamic acid, glutamine, arginine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and serine. Lactobacillus plantarum showed a higher proteolytic activity than L. brevis ssp. lindneri or L. fructivorans.     

海藻酸丙二醇酯对全麦冷冻面团冻藏稳定性和烘焙特性的影响

本文研究了海藻酸丙二醇酯（Propylene glycol alginate,PGA）对全麦冷冻面团冻藏期间稳定性的影响,并探究了冷冻面团烘焙面包品质的变化。将0.3%的PGA加入全麦面团,通过测定冷冻面团冻藏1、2、3、4和5周后发酵特性、流变特性、蛋白质二级结构、微观结构以及面包的比容、质构特性、内部纹理结构和老化程度等,研究冷冻面团冻藏期间的稳定性。结果表明,随着冻藏时间的延长,添加PGA的冷冻面团在冻藏5周后具有较好的保水性,其发酵特性及流变特性相对于对照组均有所改善。冻藏5周后,对照组与PGA组其面包比容分别下降了19.872%和14.153%;面包硬度分别升高了64.186%和36.386%;气孔表面积分率分别下降了3.497%和2.300%;老化焓值分别上升了65.142%和42.416%。添加PGA能延缓冷冻面团冻藏期间β-折叠含量的上升和β-转角相对含量的下降。电镜扫描图（SEM）显示,随着冻藏时间的延长,PGA组的冷冻面团孔洞数目相比对照组明显减少且大小均匀,面筋网络结构完整性和连续性提高。研究结果表明PGA可以有效地延缓冷冻面团在冻藏期间的品质劣变,维持冷冻面团的稳定性并提高面包的烘焙特性。     

Effect of Amino Acids and Peptides on Mixing and Frozen Dough Properties of Wheat Flour

Free amino acids, peptides, and vital wheat gluten were investigated to determine their effect on the mixing and frozen dough baking properties of wheat flour. Addition of 1% cysteine and aspartic acid decreased and glutamic acid, histidine, arginine, and lysine increased the mixing tolerance of flour. Cystine, methionine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine increased but isoleucine, histidine, glycine, arginine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and lysine decreased loaf volume of nonfrozen dough breads. However cystine, methionine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine did not increase loaf volume of bread prepared from frozen dough. Vital wheat gluten increased mixing tolerance and bread loaf volume only for the nonfrozen dough. However, wheat gluten hydrolysate, corn, and bonito peptides decreased mixing tolerance after optimum mixing time and were effective in increasing loaf volume for both frozen and nonfrozen dough. As the amount of corn and bonito peptide increased, specific loaf volumes also increased. Addition of 2.5% corn peptide was most effective in increasing loaf volume of frozen dough bread. Crust browning and crumb stickiness increased, whereas crumb softness decreased with addition of peptides. Addition of less than 1% peptide did not adversely affect the aftertaste and off‐flavor of bread. These results suggest that addition of peptides are effective for improving the baking quality of frozen dough, whereas amino acids and gluten have no effect.     

产乳化活性多糖乳酸菌的筛选及其发酵荞麦酸面团、面包的特性

本研究从不同来源的原料中分离得到18株具有产胞外多糖(EPS)能力的乳酸菌,通过对比发酵液及乳酸菌荞麦酸面团的乳化活性,获得一株产EPS且乳化活性较高的乳酸菌,并应用于荞麦酸面团的制作。采用动态流变测定、激光共聚焦观察、质构分析等手段,研究其对荞麦酸面团面包烘焙学特性的影响。结果表明:优选产乳化性多糖的乳酸菌YC'-22经鉴定为发酵乳杆菌(Lactobacillus fermentum strain HBUAS54017),且同源性为100%,EPS产量为1.63 g/L。通过添加乳酸菌荞麦酸面团,使面包面团的面筋网络结构得到强化。相比空白面包(CB),添加1.0%阿拉伯胶的荞麦面包(AGB)、荞麦酸面团面包(SDB)的比容分别增加了12.42%和14.08%,硬度分别降低了13.90%和22.87%;其中SDB面包整体可接受度最高,改善效果最明显。因此,产乳化性多糖的乳酸菌发酵的荞麦酸面团可以作为一种天然的面包功能配料。     

Impact of ‘oxidizing’ and ‘reducing’ buckwheat sourdoughs on brown rice and buckwheat batter and bread

The influence of reducing and oxidizing buckwheat sourdoughs on the rheological, protein, and bread properties of buckwheat and brown rice flour was investigated. Batters and breads prepared with chemically acidified doughs, fresh pre-doughs, and fresh pre-doughs containing glutathione (3 mM) were used as controls. No significant differences were observed after the addition of reducing and oxidizing sourdoughs in all trials. Proteolysis was observed after proofing time in buckwheat and brown rice batters, respectively. Acidified doughs increased the elasticity and the gelatinization temperature of buckwheat batters. No notable microstructure changes were detected in brown rice batters. The extension of fermentation time in sourdough caused a slight decrease in bread volumes in all trials. Sourdoughs increased the bread volume and decreased the crumb hardness of buckwheat breads. In trials with brown rice flour, the addition of sourdough did not show relevant volume differences as compared to the controls, except big voids in sourdough bread crumb. Linear correlations between hardness, volume, and cells’ density were observed. However, no clear correlations among rheological parameters and bread characteristics could be detected. These results indicated that the applied strains were responsible for the leavening capacity of the yeast during the proofing time and for crumb structure in trials with buckwheat and brown rice flour. Applied sourdoughs were able to change the molecular, and bread properties of buckwheat and brown rice bread.     

Influence of enzyme treatment on the rheology of rye doughs

The rheological behaviour of rye dough is mainly influenced by enzymatic reactions. An investigation with a rotation rheometer called a rheological baking test was used to study the influence of pentosanase, proteinase, fungal α-amylase, and bacterial α-amylase, respectively. The application of pentosanase increased the plasticity of the dough and decreased the viscosity. Proteinase had only a slight influence on the rheological behaviour of rye dough. It slightly decreased the dough viscosity, but had no influence on the visco-elasticity. The fungal and the bacterial α-amylase showed the same effects. The dough elasticity decreased with the increase in temperature. These effects are obvious even at temperatures below gelatinization, and the bacterial amylase shows a greater influence, because it can work at higher temperatures. It could be concluded that the dough structure is mainly built up by pentosans and proteins at temperatures of 30°C, whereas the starch plays a major role in the temperature range above 45°C. A bread baking test showed that pentosanase had an effect on the shape of the loaf whereas the amylases influenced the volume and the crumb elasticity. Proteinase showed no influence on baking results. This correponds well with the results of the rheological investigations. The rheological baking test is a good tool for predicting the baking performance of rye flour.     

Identification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from oat sourdoughs and investigation into their potential for the improvement of oat bread quality

The use of sourdough in wheat and rye breads has been extensively studied; however, little is known about its potential effect when baking oat bread. Consequently, the impact of sourdough on oat bread quality was investigated. Two different sourdoughs were prepared from wholegrain oat flour without the addition of starter cultures, by continuous propagation at 28 (SD 28) or 37 °C (SD 37) until the composition of the lactic acid bacteria remained stable. The dominant LAB were identified by sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA isolated from pure cultures. LAB from SD 28 belonged to the species Leuconostoc argentinum, Pedicoccus pentosaceus and Weissella cibaria, while Lactobacillus coryniformis dominated SD 37. The isolated LAB were further used as starter cultures for the production of oat sourdoughs. Fundamental rheology revealed softening of the sourdoughs compared to non-acidified and chemically acidified controls, which could not be attributed to proteolytic activity. Incorporation of oat sourdough into an oat bread recipe resulted in significantly increased loaf-specific volume as well as improved texture, independent of addition level or sourdough type. Overall, the results of this study show that sourdoughs containing lactic acid bacteria isolated from oats have the potential to enhance oat bread quality.     

Dough and Hearth Bread Characteristics Influenced by Protein Composition, Protein Content, DATEM, and Their Interactions

ABSTRACT: The effects of protein composition, protein content, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglycerides (DATEM), and their interaction on dough and bread characteristics were studied by small- and pilot-scale hearth bread baking, dough rheological testing using the Kieffer extensibility rig, and size distribution of proteins. Protein composition had the largest influence on dough and bread characteristics. There was interaction effect between protein quality and protein content on dough behavior. High percentage of sodium dodecyl sulfate-unextractable polymeric proteins in flours gave large area and good form ratio. Increased ratio between monomeric and polymeric proteins resulted in decreased form ratio. Addition of DATEM altered the rheological behavior of the dough and the bread-making performance. The effect was, however, small compared with the effect of the protein composition.     

不同高产胞外多糖乳酸菌发酵荞麦酸面团对面团面筋网络结构和面包烘焙特性的影响

比较研究食窦魏斯氏菌（T5）和融合魏斯氏菌（J28）发酵对荞麦酸面团糖代谢、面包面团面筋网络结构以及面包烘焙特性的影响。结果表明：菌株T5和菌株J28产生的胞外多糖均为高分子葡聚糖;J28发酵荞麦酸面团产糖能力显著高于T5：J28＋组（11.87?g/kg）＞T5＋组（9.36?g/kg）,但J28发酵产生乙酸水平明显低于T5;与添加30%的不产胞外多糖酸面团面包相比,T5和J28产生的胞外多糖都能改善面团面筋网络结构和面包比容以及柔软度,但T5产生的胞外多糖改善作用更加明显;与空白组面包相比,J28＋组面包烘焙品质最佳,并且更受消费者的喜欢。     

From wheat sourdough to gluten‐free sourdough: a non‐conventional process for producing gluten‐free bread

Gluten‐free (GF) sourdough was prepared from wheat sourdough and analysed both in fresh (GFS) and dried forms (DGFS). The gluten content in each GF sourdough sample was <20 mg kg^?1. The dough leavening capacity and the properties of the bread samples were investigated and compared to those of bread prepared using bakery yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Two commercial rice‐based mixtures (different for the presence/absence of buckwheat flour) were used to prepare bread samples. In GFS, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts were found in amounts corresponding to 10⁸ and 10⁷ CFU g^?1, respectively, whereas both LAB and yeasts were detected in lower amounts (about 10⁶ CFU g^?1) in DGFS. When used in bread‐making, both GFS types produced significant dough acidification and exhibited good dough development during proofing, resulting in loaves with specific volume values between 3.00 and 4.12 mL g^?1, values similar to those obtained for reference bread (3.05÷4.15 mL g^?1). The use of GFS was effective in lowering the bread staling rate during storage for up to 7 days.     

高产植酸酶乳酸菌发酵对黑豆面包蛋白质品质及烘焙特性的影响

从实验室获得1 株高产植酸酶乳酸菌（L-19）并应用于黑豆酸面团面包,同时选用不产植酸酶的乳酸菌（K-12）作为对照。通过分析面包氨基酸组成和营养指标、蛋白质体外消化率、质构特性、超微结构和感官评定,研究其对黑豆酸面团面包蛋白质营养及烘焙学特性的影响。结果表明：添加乳酸菌黑豆酸面团后,面包蛋白营养和烘焙品质都得到了明显改善,其中L-19酸面团面包（L-19SDB）效果最显著。与黑豆面包（BB）相比,L-19SDB植酸含量下降60.68%,蛋白质体外消化率由64.70%升高至73.93%,总氨基酸含量提高73%。同时与其他3 组相比,L-19SDB有更好的氨基酸特征：其必需氨基酸与总氨基酸之比、必需氨基酸指数和生物价均为最高。面包烘焙品质方面,相比黑豆面包BB,L-19SDB和K-12SDB比容分别提高了31.45%和23.59%,硬度降低了68.79%和56.59%。通过ImageJ分析发现,L-19SDB芯囊组织更加均匀,感官评价总体可接受度最高（7.72 分）。
