Sourdough fermentation is a cereal fermentation that is characterized by the formation of stable yeast/lactic acid bacteria (LAB) associations. It is a unique process among food fermentations in that the LAB that mostly dominate these fermentations are heterofermentative. In the present study, four wheat sourdough fermentations were carried out under different conditions of temperature and backslopping time to determine their effect on the composition of the microbiota of the final sourdoughs. A substantial effect of temperature was observed. A fermentation with 10 backsloppings (once every 24 h) at 23°C resulted in a microbiota composed of Leuconostoc citreum as the dominant species, whereas fermentations at 30 and 37°C with backslopping every 24 h resulted in ecosystems dominated by Lactobacillus fermentum. Longer backslopping times (every 48 h at 30°C) resulted in a combination of Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus plantarum. Residual maltose remained present in all fermentations, except those with longer backslopping times, and ornithine was found in almost all fermentations, indicating enhanced sourdough-typical LAB activity. The sourdough-typical species Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis was not found. Finally, a nonflour origin for this species was hypothesized.

Bioprospecting of sourdough microbial species from artisan bakeries in the city of Valencia.

Food Microbiol

Department of Biotechnology, Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de Los Alimentos, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Avda. Agustín Escardino, 7, 46980, Paterna, Valencia, Spain. Electronic address:

This work describes the characterization of an artisanal sourdough set of bakeries located in the city of Valencia. Culture-dependent and -independent analyses detected Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kazachstania humilis as dominant species. Nevertheless, specific technological parameters, including backslopping temperature, dough yield, or the addition of salt affected microbial counting, LAB/Yeast ratio, and gassing performance, favouring the appearance of several species of Lactobacillus sp.

Fermentation has recently been rediscovered as an attractive technique to process legumes, as it can improve the nutritional quality and value of the end product. This study investigated the dynamics and stability of the microbial communities in spontaneously fermented sourdoughs made from flours of two cultivars of faba beans and two cultivars of peas. Sourdoughs were established by the backslopping technique, and the microbial development at 22 °C and 30 °C was followed by culture dependent and culture independent methods.

Sourdough (SD) fermentation is a traditional biotechnological process used to improve the properties of baked goods. Nowadays, SD fermentation is studied for its potential health effects due to the presence of postbiotic-like components, which refer to a group of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confer health benefits on the host. Some postbiotic-like components reported in SD are non-viable microorganisms, short-chain fatty acids, bacteriocins, biosurfactants, secreted proteins/peptides, amino acids, flavonoids, exopolysaccharides, and other molecules.

The article is devoted to the study of the microbiome of spontaneously fermented sourdoughs. The aim of the work was to study the inf luence of the technological parameters of sourdough propagations on the taxonomic structure of the microbiome of spontaneously fermented sourdoughs. Two spontaneously fermented sourdoughs were studied: dense rye sourdough and liquid rye sourdough, both prepared using the same batch of peeled rye f lour.

Backslopping Time, Rinsing of the Grains During Backslopping, and Incubation Temperature Influence the Water Kefir Fermentation Process.

Research Group of Industrial Microbiology and Food Biotechnology, Faculty of Sciences and Bioengineering Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium.

For eight backslopping steps, eight series of water kefir fermentation processes differing in backslopping time and rinsing of the grains during each backslopping step and eight series of fermentation processes differing in incubation temperature and backslopping time were followed. Short backslopping times resulted in high relative abundances of and , intermediate backslopping times in high relative abundances of , and long backslopping times in high relative abundances of and . When the grains were rinsed during each backslopping step, the relative abundances of and .
