Abstract: | The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of two autochthonous strains of lactic acid bacteria as sourdough (SD) starters on gluten-free bread technological quality and in vitro starch hydrolysis and antioxidant activity. Two strains of Limosilactobacillus fermentum isolated from buckwheat (BW) and quinoa flours were used. SDs were prepared from wholegrain quinoa or BW flours. Bread technological properties, total polyphenol content and in vitro antioxidant activity and starch hydrolysis and dialysability were assessed. Specific bread volumes were between 2.61 and 2.76 cm3 g?1. Breads with quinoa-based SD had overall higher technological quality than breads made with BW SDs, shown by a softer, well-aerated crumb, with an opener crumb structure and larger air area. Crumb firming during storage was reduced up to 29% when quinoa SD was used, and up to 42% when BW SD was added. Quinoa breads showed higher polyphenols and FRAP values, whereas BW breads had significantly higher ABTS values. Total starch hydrolysis and dialysability were significantly reduced when SD was used. Starch hydrolysis was reduced up to 42% and 25% when quinoa and BW SD were used, respectively. SD application produced breads with higher technological quality and modified in vitro starch hydrolysis and antioxidant capacity. Even though these effects seemed to be influenced by pH, a biological effect was also observed. |
