RESUMO

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced in situ by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) during sourdough fermentation have the potential to replace hydrocolloids in gluten-free sourdoughs. This study investigated effects of an EPS-producing Weissella cibaria NC516.11 fermentation on chemical, rheological properties of sourdough and the quality of buckwheat bread. Results indicate that the buckwheat sourdough fermentation by W. cibaria NC516.11 had lower pH (4.47) and higher total titrable acidity (8.36 mL) compared with other groups, and the polysaccharide content reached 3.10 ± 0.16 g/kg. W. cibaria NC516.11 can significantly improve the rheological properties and viscoelastic properties of sourdough. Compared with control group, the baking loss of NC516.11 group bread decreased by 19.94%, specific volume increased by 26.03%, and showed good appearance and cross-sectional morphology. Scanning electron micrograph revealed an intact and less porous cell structure. Meanwhile, W. cibaria NC516.11 significantly improved the texture of the bread and reduced the hardness and moisture loss during storage.

RESUMO

Almond production generates large amounts of by-products rich in polyphenols. In this study, almond skin was explored as a valuable food ingredient in bread making. To this purpose, almond skin was used to produce functional products modifying a traditional sourdough bread recipe. The doughs were prepared replacing semolina with powdered almond skin (PAS) at 5 and 10 % (w/w). Sourdough inoculum was started with a mix of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and propagated in semolina until reaching pH 3.7. The pH of PAS added breads was higher than that of control (CTR) breads before and after fermentation. Plate counts showed a similar evolution of LAB and total mesophilic microorganisms, but members of Enterobacteriaceae and coliform were detectable in PAS doughs. Illumina data clearly showed a dominance of lactobacilli in all trials, but PAS doughs displayed the presence of Bacillus. The final bread characteristics were influenced by PAS and its addition percentage; in particular, crust and crumb colour resulted darker, the alveolation decreased and, regarding sensory attributes, odour intensity increased, while bread odour diminished. In presence of PAS, bread emissions were characterized by lower percentages of alcohols and aromatic hydrocarbons and higher percentages of the other volatile compound classes, especially terpenoids like ß-pinene, ß-myrcene and limonene than CTR trial. After in vitro simulated digestion, the final release of phytochemicals from 10 % PAS bread was almost 100 %. Thus, PAS determined an increase of the antioxidant capacity of the breads. Phytochemicals released from digested PAS-fortified bread can provide antioxidant protection in a complex biological environment such as human intestinal-like cells. Besides the positive functional properties of PAS, this work also evidenced the hygienic issues of almond skin and, in order to avoid potential risks for the human health, highlighted the need to preserve its microbiological characteristics during storage for their reuse in bread production.

RESUMO

The aim of this work was to use consortia (two or three strains) of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) [Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CRL 1964 and CRL 1973, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides CRL 2131] to obtain quinoa sourdoughs (QS) for further manufacturing of quinoa sourdough-based biscuits (QB). Microbial grow and acidification were evaluated in QS while antioxidant activity (AOA), total phenolic compounds (TPC) and total flavonoid compounds (TFC) were determined in QS and QB. QS inoculated with LAB consortia respect to monocultures showed higher growth and acidification, AOA (7.9?42.6%), TPC (19.9?35.0%) and TFC (6.1?31.6%). QB prepared with QS inoculated by LAB consortia showed higher AOA (5.0-81.1%), TPC (22.5?57.5%) and TFC (14.0-79.9%) than biscuits inoculated by monocultures sourdoughs. These results were attributed to a synergic effect from LAB consortia. Principal component analysis showed the highest scores of the evaluated characteristics for biscuits made with consortia sourdough of two (CRL1964?+?CRL2131) and three (CRL1964?+?CRL1973?+?CRL2131) strains.

RESUMO

The aim of the study was to set up a liquid sourdough obtained using stone-ground soft wheat (Triticum aestivum) flour to be exploited in breadmaking. Therefore, a Type II sourdough (dough yield = 350) was developed from a stable stone-ground wheat Type I sourdough (dough yield = 156) used as inoculum. Both sourdoughs were analyzed for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) viable counts, pH and total titratable acidity (TTA), LAB biodiversity by a combined culture-dependent and -independent approach (PCR-DGGE) and they were tested for their breadmaking ability. In addition, the chemical and rheological features and volatile organic compounds of the stone-ground soft wheat flour used in the experiment were investigated. The flour had a high protein content, good bakery properties and it also presented a rich aroma pattern characterized not only by the prevalence of green grass, flowery, and sweet aromas but also nutty, roasted and popcorn aromas. The sourdoughs I and II used in the trial were characterized by viable LAB counts, pH and TTA values typical of mature sourdoughs, i.e., approximately 9 log cfu gr-1 and mL, pH 3.9 and 10 mL 0.1 N NaOH. In addition, Levilactobacillus brevis and Companilactobacillus paralimentarius species represented the LAB stable microbiota of both sourdoughs. Both sourdoughs efficiently produce acceptable experimental breads characterized by different volatile profiles thus indicating that the type of sourdough fermentation significantly influenced the features of the final products. Overall, for the first time in the present study stone-ground wheat flour and bread have been characterized for their volatile aroma profile and sensory properties.

RESUMO

AIMS: To evaluate the capacity of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (43) from Andean grains to increase the antioxidant activity (AOA) and total phenolic compounds (TPCs) in quinoa sourdough to select best performing strains to be used as starter cultures in the elaboration of biscuits. METHODS AND RESULTS: Microbial growth (CFU per g) and pH were evaluated during quinoa dough fermentation. Counts were increased in a range of 0.61-2.97 log CFU per g and pH values between 3.95 and 4.54 were determined after 24 h at 30°C of fermentation. Methanolic (ME) and aqueous (AE) extracts were obtained at the end of fermentation, and free radical scavenging capacity was performed by the DPPH and ABTS methods. ME was selected for further analysis using other methods and TPC quantification. Principal component analysis showed the highest scores of growth, acidification capacity, AOA and TPC for the strains Lc. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides CRL 2131 and L. plantarum CRL 1964 and CRL 1973. AOA and TPC in biscuits made with sourdough from these LAB were higher than the acidified and uninoculated controls. CONCLUSIONS: Autochthonous LAB strains (3) increased the AOA of quinoa-based biscuits. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Quinoa sourdough obtained with selected LAB is suitable as an ingredient for bakery foods with improved antioxidant status.

RESUMO

The most common cause of iron deficiency is an improperly balanced diet, in which the body's need for iron cannot be met by absorption of this element from food. Targeted iron supplementation and food fortification may be the main treatments for iron deficiency in the population. However, many iron-rich supplements and foods have low bioavailability of this element. In our study, we used yeast enriched with iron ions to produce flatbread. The yeast cells accumulated iron ions from the medium supplemented with Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, additionally one of the cultures was treated with pulsed electric field in order to increase the accumulation. The potential bioavailability of iron from flatbread containing 385.8 ± 4.12 mg of iron in 100 g dry mass was 10.83 ± 0.94%. All the flatbreads had a moderate glycemic index. There were no significant differences in antioxidant activity against DPPH• between flatbread with iron-enriched and non-iron-enriched yeast. Sensory evaluation showed that this product is acceptable to consumers since no metallic aftertaste was detected. Iron enriched flatbread can potentially be an alternative to dietary supplements in iron deficiency states.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of consumption of ancient grain "Verna" bread obtained by two different leavening agents, sourdough (SD) and baker's yeast (BY), on inflammatory parameters and cardiometabolic risk factors. Seventeen clinically healthy subjects were included to consume SD or BY bread for 4 weeks each, and blood analyses were carried out. The consumption of "Verna" bread obtained with both leavening agents led to a significant improvement of LDL cholesterol. A reduction of -10.6% and -8.53% was observed after replacement with SD and BY bread, respectively. A significant increase in fasting blood glucose (+6%) was observed only after the intervention with BY bread. A 10.7% decrease of vascular endothelial growth factor was found after the SD bread replacement period. The consumption of "Verna" bread resulted significantly associated with an improvement in the cardiometabolic and inflammatory profile. However, only consumption of BY bread determined a significant increase in blood glucose levels.

RESUMO

The effects of ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) treated yeast on gluten polymerization of frozen dough and quality of steamed bread after freeze-thaw cycles were investigated. Compared with steamed bread made from frozen dough containing ε-PL and untreated yeast (PUTY) or only untreated yeast, steamed bread made from frozen dough containing ε-PL treated yeast (PTY) had a larger specific volume, lower hardness and more porous. A dynamic rheological and scanning electron microscopic analysis demonstrated that using PTY instead of yeast could reduce dough elasticity and damage protein network after freeze-thaw cycles. Lower sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) soluble polymeric proteins and monomeric proteins, and higher SDS insoluble proteins were found in frozen dough containing PTY, which indicates a reduced depolymerization of gluten proteins after freeze-thaw cycles. After 4 freeze-thaw cycles, the lower glutathione and free sulfhydryl in dough containing PTY indicate that the interchain disulfide bonds between proteins were preserved.

RESUMO

Production of leavened bread dates to the second millennium BCE. Since then, the art of bread making has developed, yet the evolution of bread-associated microbial species remains largely unknown. Nowadays, leavened bread is made either by using a pure commercial culture of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae or by propagating a sourdough-a mix of flour and water spontaneously fermented by yeasts and bacteria. We studied the domestication of S. cerevisiae originating from industrial sources and artisanal sourdoughs and tested whether different bread-making processes led to population divergence. We found that S. cerevisiae bakery strains are polyphyletic with 67% of strains clustering into two main clades: most industrial strains were tetraploid and clustered with strains having diverse origins, including beer. By contrast, most sourdough strains were diploid and grouped in a second clade of strains having mosaic genomes and diverse origins, including fruits and natural environments. They harbored a higher copy number of genes involved in maltose utilization, and a high level of gene flow from multiple contributors was detected. Bakery strains displayed higher CO2 production than do strains from other domesticated lineages (such as beer and wine), revealing a specific phenotypic signature of domestication. Interestingly, industrial strains had a shorter fermentation onset than sourdough strains, which were better adapted to a sourdough-like environment, suggesting divergent selection by industrial and artisanal processes. Our results reveal that the domestication of bakery yeast has been accompanied by dispersion, hybridization, and divergent selection through industrial and artisanal processes.

RESUMO

This work was performed to investigate on the yeast ecology of durum wheat to evaluate the interaction between kernel yeasts and the commercial baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during dough leavening. Yeast populations were studied in 39 genotypes of durum wheat cultivated in Sicily. The highest level of kernel yeasts was 2.9 Log CFU/g. A total of 413 isolates was collected and subjected to phenotypic and genotypic characterization. Twenty-three yeast species belonging to 11 genera have been identified. Filobasidium oeirense, Sporobolomyces roseus and Aureobasidium pullulans were the species most commonly found in durum wheat kernels. Doughs were co-inoculated with yeasts isolated from wheat kernels and commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in order to evaluate the interactions between yeasts and the leavening performance. Yeast populations of all doughs have been monitored as well as dough volume increase and weight loss (as CO2) measured after 2 h of fermentation. The doughs whose final volume was higher than control dough (inoculated exclusively with S. cerevisiae) were those inoculated with Naganishia albida, Vishniacozyma dimennae (118 mL each), and Candida parapsilosis (102 mL). The weight losses were variable, depending on the co-culture used with S. cerevisiae and the values were in the range of 0.08-1.00 g CO2/100 g. The kernel yeasts species C. parapsilosis, N. albida, P. terrestris, R. mucilaginosa and V. dimennae deserves future attention to be co-inoculated with the commercial starter S. cerevisiae in order to improve the sensory characteristics of bread.

RESUMO

The increasing demand for healthy baked goods boosted studies on sourdough microbiota with beneficial metabolic traits, to be used as potential functional starters. Here, 139 yeasts isolated from cereal-based fermented foods were in vitro characterized for their phytase and antioxidant activities. The molecular characterization at strain level of the best 39 performing isolates showed that they did not derive from cross contamination by baker's yeast. Afterwards, the 39 isolates were in vivo analyzed for their leavening ability, phytase activity and polyphenols content using five different wholegrain flours, obtained from conventional and pigmented common wheat, emmer and hull-less barley. Combining these findings, through multivariate permutation analysis, we identified the 2 best performing strains, which resulted diverse for each flour. Doughs singly inoculated with the selected strains were further analyzed for their antioxidant capacity, phenolic acids, xanthophylls and anthocyanins content. All the selected yeasts significantly increased the total antioxidant activity, the soluble, free and conjugated, forms of phenolic acids and anthocyanins of fermented doughs. This study revealed the importance of a specific selection of yeast strains for wholegrain flours obtained from different cereals or cultivars, in order to enhance the pro-technological, nutritional and nutraceutical traits of fermented doughs.

RESUMO

Insects represent a novel source of edible high nutritional value proteins which are gaining increasing interest as an alternative to traditional animal foods. In this work, cricket flour was used to produce gluten-free sourdough breads, suitable for celiac people and "source of proteins". The doughs were fermented by different methods and pH and microbial growth, volatile compounds, protein profile, and antioxidant activity, before and after baking, were analyzed and compared to standard gluten-free doughs. The results showed that cricket-enriched doughs and the standard had similar fermentation processes. Cricket enrichment conferred to the breads a typical flavoring profile, characterized by a unique bouquet of volatile compounds, made by nonanoic acid, 2,4-nonadienal (E,E), 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, and 3-octen-2-one, expressed in different amounts depending on the type of inoculum. Finally, antioxidant activities were significantly enhanced in cricket breads, indicating that cricket powder provides to bakery gluten-free goods high nutritional value proteins and antioxidant properties.

RESUMO

This study aimed to produce sourdough bread using an encapsulated kombucha sourdough starter culture without the addition of baker's yeast. The bioactive metabolites of kombucha sourdough starter and sourdough starter without kombucha were identified using 1 H-NMR analysis with multivariate analysis. The physical properties, including loaf volume, specific loaf volume, firmness, and water activity were determined following standard methods. The shelf life and consumer acceptability of the bread were also being evaluated. The principal component analyses showed the presence of 15 metabolites in kombucha sourdough starter. The major compounds that contributed to the differences from sourdough starter without kombucha were alpha-aminobutyric acid, alanine, acetic acid, riboflavin, pyridoxine, anserine, tryptophan, gluconic acid, and trehalose. The encapsulated kombucha sourdough starter increased the loaf volume (976.7 ± 25.2 mL) and specific loaf volume (4.38 ± 0.12 mL/g) compared to yeast bread. Thus, significant (P < 0.05) reduction was observed in the crumb firmness (116.07 ± 6.28 g) compared to traditional sourdough bread and yeast bread. The encapsulated kombucha sourdough starter extended the shelf life of bread by 5 to 10 days at room temperature. The sourdough bread prepared using the encapsulated kombucha sourdough starter demonstrated significantly (P < 0.05) higher taste and overall acceptability scores compared to the other bread. The findings indicate that the encapsulated kombucha sourdough starter is promising to produce functional sourdough bread with extended shelf life and improved quality. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Encapsulated kombucha sourdough starter culture that appropriately refreshed can be used primarily as a dough leavening agent in the bread industry without the addition of baker's yeast. This starter culture applied in sourdough bread production extended the shelf life and improved the biological function of sourdough bread.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT This study describes the development of mixed flour added of maca for gluten-free bread (GFB) employing a Simplex Centroid Design. Four pseudo-components were evaluated in order to improve the GFB specific volume and texture profile analysis: maca (MC; 0.25 to 0.75), potato starch (PS; 0.25 to 0.75), sweet manioc flour (SEM; 0 to 0.25), and sour manioc flour (SOM; 0 to 0.25). The best GFB formulation - by desirability results - was evaluated regarding physio-chemical, microbiological aspects, and sensory acceptance. The responses specific volume and hardness were adjusted with a special cubic model (R2= 0.973 and 0.913), while cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness was adjusted with a linear model. The significant contribution of maca into GFB dough was evident in the models, and the desirability results indicated an appropriate mixed flour composed by MC (0.25), PS (0.5), and SEM (0.25). The GFB elaborated with this mixed flour generated a product well accepted (acceptability index higher than 73.9%) for attributes of aroma, colour, texture, flavour, and overall acceptance. The values of physio-chemical parameters obtained in the present article was in the range described for GFB in the literature. In addition, the processing method applied allowed for obtaining a GFB that was microbiologically stable.


RESUMEN Este estudio describe el desarrollo de la harina mezclada (MF) agregada de maca para la elaboración de pan sin gluten (GFB) empleando un Diseño Centroide Simplex. Se evaluaron cuatro pseudo-componentes para mejorar el volumen específico y el perfil de textura de GFB: maca (MC; 0,25 a 0,75), almidón de patata (PS; 0,25 a 0,75), harina de yuca dulce (SEM; 0 a 0,25), y harina de yuca agrio (SOM; 0 a 0,25). La mejor formulación de GFB - por la deseabilidad - se evaluó en relación con los aspectos fisicoquímicos, microbiológicos, y sensoriales. El volumen específico y la dureza se ajustaron a un modelo cúbico especial (R2= 0,975 y 0,913). La cohesión, elasticidad y masticabilidad se ajustaron a un modelo lineal. La contribución de la maca a la masa de GFB fue evidente en los modelos, y los resultados indican una MF apropiada compuesta por MC (0,25), PS (0.5) y SEM (0,25). El GFB elaborado con esta MF genera un producto aceptado (índice de aceptabilidad mayor que 73,9%) para aroma, color, textura, sabor y aceptación general. Los parámetros físico-químicos obtenidos estaban en el rango descrito para GFB en la literatura y GFB se mostró microbiológicamente estable.

RESUMO

Sourdough fermentation influences several properties of leavened baked goods also because Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts produce bioactive peptides with a positive effect on human health. In an early study, three Lactobacilli strains (L. farciminis H3 and A11 and L. sanfranciscensis I4) possessing different proteolytic activities were used to produce sourdoughs containing peptides equipped with anti-inflammatory and/or antioxidant properties. This work was aimed to assess whether these properties could be retained after cooking. The selected LABs were used to produce breads from which low molecular weight (LMW-) peptides were extracted. The results provide solid proofs of keeping both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of peptides from cooked products. Sequences of LMW-peptides either from doughs and breads were determined by mass spectrometry: differences have been noticed in amino acidic composition and in sequences, however, all the strains produce peptides equipped with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

RESUMO

Cinnamaldehyde (CIN) is a promising replacement for chemical synthetic preservatives, which has exhibited effective antimicrobial activities in food applications. In this study we examined the antifungal efficiency of CIN against Aspergillus niger in vitro. In addition, we explored its mode of action and evaluated its application potential in bread preservation in situ. The results showed that CIN exerted different levels of antifungal activity through different treatments, wherein it showed the highest antifungal activity in the liquid broth test, followed by solid contact and gas diffusion methods. On the other hand, ultrastructure observation, propyl iodide staining and ergosterol detection showed that CIN may damage the cell ultrastructure and membrane integrity in a dose dependent manner. Besides, the content of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde were, respectively, 2.74 and 2.07 times higher in fungi treated with 100 µg/mL of CIN, compared with those in untreated fungi. Finally, shelf life experiment showed that, in the vapor phase, CIN can efficiently prolong the shelf life of bread. Altogether, these results indicate that CIN can be used as an alternative food preservative due to its antifungal effects that are exerted, at least in part in A. niger, through the induction of oxidative stress, which caused cell damage and increased membrane permeability.

RESUMO

In sourdough fermentation, lactic acid bacteria perform important roles in the production of volatile and antimicrobial compounds, and exerting health-promoting effects. In this study, we report the probiotic properties and baking characteristics of Lactobacillus plantarum SPC-SNU 72-2 isolated from kimchi. This strain is safe to use in food fermentation as it does not carry genes for biogenic amine production (i.e., hdc, tdc, and ldc) and shows no ß-hemolytic activity against red blood cells. The strain is also stable under simulated human gastrointestinal conditions, showing tolerance to gastric acid and bile salt, and adheres well to colonic epithelial cells. Additionally, this strain prevents pathogen growth and activates mouse peritoneal macrophages by inducing cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-12. Furthermore, the strain possesses good baking properties, providing rich aroma during dough fermentation and contributing to the enhancement of bread texture. Taken together, L. plantarum SPC-SNU 72-2 has the properties of a good starter strain based on the observation that it improves bread flavor and texture while also providing probiotic effects comparable with commercial strains.

RESUMO

A multilayer film containing star anise essential oil and thymol coating layers (SAEO and TH, respectively), with insect repellent and antimicrobial properties, has been developed using bar coating and adhesive lamination processes. Our previous study reported the in vitro activities of this polypropylene film (PP)/SAEO/polyethylene terephthalate film (PET)/TH/low-density polyethylene film (LDPE) multilayer film. The current study focused on demonstrating the morphological, optical, and mechanical properties of the film, and evaluating its in vivo activities when used as a bread packaging material. The developed film was 15.03% thicker and 1.86% less transparent than the control film (without active agent coating layers: PP/PET/LDPE). While the color values of the developed film were slightly different from the control film, both films appeared similar to the naked eye. The tensile strength in the developed film was somewhat lower than that of the control film, while both films had statistically comparable values for elongation at break. During storage of sliced bread packaged in the developed film, the film both deterred insects from approaching toward and impeded the growth of microorganisms in the bread. These results suggest the potential applicability of the developed film as an active food packaging material with insect repellent and antimicrobial activities. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: A multilayer film incorporated with insect repellent and antimicrobial coating layers was applied in sliced wheat bread packaging. The developed film effectively inhibited approaches of stored-product insects to packaged bread and growth of microorganisms on the bread surface. It can be used as an active food packaging material that improves the safety and shelf-life of foods.

RESUMO

The use of natural products as food supplements has received increasing attention in recent years. Sea-buckthorn pulp and flaxseed residues are rich in phenolic fractions and aroma substances, thereby offering high antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. However, large quantities of these residues usually remain unused. Therefore, this study confirmed the chemical composition and antioxidant and antimicrobial capacity of these materials, and evaluated their effect on the quality, characteristics and shelf life of bread. Both residues were rich in crude fiber, while sea-buckthorn had a much higher content of polyphenols compared with flaxseed. The addition of these two residues changed the characteristics and nutritional value of the bread, including the specific volume, color, texture, and antioxidant capacity. Supplementation with these two residues also gave the breads new aromas. The shelf life of the breads was increased by different levels of addition compared with the control group. For sensory evaluation, bread with a suitable content of residues was favored by consumers.
