The sour dough bread making process is extensively used to produce wholesome palatable rye bread. The process is traditionally done using a back-slopping procedure. Traditional sour doughs in Finland comprise of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. The yeasts present in these doughs have been enriched in the doughs due to their metabolic activities, e.g. acid tolerance. We characterized the yeasts in five major sour bread bakeries in Finland. We found that most of the commercial sour doughs contained yeasts which were similar to Candida milleri on the basis of 18S rDNA and EF-3 PCR-RFLP patterns and metabolic activities. Some of the bakery yeasts exhibited extensive karyotype polymorphism. The minimum growth temperature was 8 degrees C for C. milleri and also for most of sour dough yeasts.

Sour and sweet cherries were evaluated as functional components in bread-making because of their bioactive microconstituent content. Five forms of enrichment for each fruit, including the hydroalcoholic extract, lyophilized pulverized fruit, lyophilized extract, and their combinations, were used for supplementation. The physicochemical (pH, color, moisture, rheology, and texture) and sensory properties of dough and bread were assessed in different environments (biological and chemical leavening).

Chinese steamed bread (CSB) is an important staple of the Chinese people, and its flavor profile is mostly affected by wheat varieties among others. This study selected wheat flour made from three different wheat varieties and investigated their contribution to the CSB flavor profile in terms of metabolism. Thirteen aroma-active compounds identified by GC-O were determined as the main contributors to the different aroma profiles of three CSBs.

Sourdough technology has been known for its role in the improvement of texture, flavor, and quality of mainly wheat and rye-based breads for decades. However, little is reported about its use in the improvement of whole-grain oat bread, especially concerning flavor formation, which is one major consumer drivers. This study investigated the effects of sourdough obtained by different lactic acid bacteria and yeast starters consortia on the texture and flavor of 100% oat bread.

Sour cherry pomace is the largest byproduct of sour cherry processing with more than 0.4 million tonnes per year. In this study, sour cherry pomace powder (SCPP) has been treated individually or by a combination of microwave (MW), enzymatic hydrolysis, and high pressure to increase soluble dietary fiber (SDF) content.

The aim of this study was to identify and isolate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from indigenous sourdough and dairy samples in Iran, and to assess their probiotic properties in vitro. A total of 560 potential LAB isolates were examined, and 87 demonstrated high survival rates in artificial gastrointestinal fluids without hemolytic activity. The selected isolates exhibited significant auto-aggregation (18.
