Sourdough fermentation is one of the oldest traditional methods in food technology and occurs as a result of fermentation of flour prepared from grains. The nutritional role of sourdough is related to the final composition of fermented foods prepared through sourdough fermentation, and recently, sourdough has become an important application to improve nutrition characteristics of bread. Thanks to lactic acid bacteria (LAB) presented in sourdough microflora and metabolites partially produced by yeasts, technological and important nutritional features of the bread improve and an increase in shelf life is achieved. In addition, sourdough bread has a low glycemic index value, high protein digestibility, high mineral and antioxidant content, and improved dietary fiber composition, making it more attractive for human nutrition compared to regular bread. When the sourdough process is applied, the chemical and physical properties of fibers vary according to the degree of fermentation, revealing the physiological importance of dietary fiber and its importance to humans' large intestine microbiota. Therefore, taking these approach frameworks into consideration, this review highlights the benefits of sourdough fermentation in increasing nutrient availability and contributing positively to support human health.

Artisan bread, known for its simple recipes, natural ingredients, and traditional techniques, has seen a surge in demand, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. Small bakeries emphasize extended fermentation processes and prioritize sensory qualities in their products. However, the impact of ingredients on the quality characteristics of artisan bread remains underexplored.

The effect of mixed fermentation with sourdough and lactic acid bacteria ( and ), the physicochemical indexes, storage characteristics of dough and bun were investigated. Compared with sourdough-only dough and bun, the mixed fermentation significantly increase the total phenol, flavonoid and hydrolyzed amino acid content of the dough, the specific volume and height-diameter ratio of mixed fermentation bun increased significantly by 18.3 % and 7.

Şalgam is a traditional drink produced via the lactic-acid fermentation of vegetables (black carrot and turnip), sourdough, and bulgur flour; with rock salt also added. During storage, an additional yeast-mediated fermentation can occur, causing changes in organoleptic properties, as evidenced by the microbe-mediated release of gases. Here, we characterise şalgam as a microbial habitat, identify the yeasts that cause spoilage, and characterise yeast-induced changes of the şalgam.
