The Impact

The baking of sourdough breads represents one of the oldest biotechnological processes. Despite traditionality, sourdough bread has great potential because of its benefits. Sourdough is a mixture of flour and water that is dominated by a complex microflora composed of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria that are crucial in the preparation of bread dough. Lactic acid bacteria cause acidification by producing lactic acid that increases the shelf life of bread by preventing the growth of undesirable microorganisms and affects the nutritional value of bread by increasing the availability of minerals. In addition to these advantages, the use of sourdough fermentation also improves dough machinability, breadcrumb structure and the characteristic flavour of bread. Lactic acid bacteria in sourdough fermentation are well known representing both homofermentative and heterofermentative bacteria. They may originate from selected natural contaminants in the flour or from a starter culture containing one or more known species of lactic acid bacteria. Sourdough can be cultivated in bakeries or obtained from commercial suppliers. However, many bakeries in Europe still use spontaneously fermented sourdoughs, which have been kept metabolically active for decades by the addition of flour and water at regular intervals. The impact of lactic acid bacteria on sourdough fermentation and their influence on dough and bread quality was discussed on the basis of research and literature data.

Water Kefir

There is a recognized need for formulating functional food products using selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) starter cultures from various sources such as kefir, yoghurt or kombucha that have health benefits. The principle objective of this study was to investigate the use of a coconut water kefir-based fermentation starter culture using Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus plantarum to develop a sourdough bread. Check-all-that-apply (CATA) sensory profiling was used in this study to evaluate the sensory profile of sourdough breads that varied with culture type, culture concentrations, with and without added yeast, and with fermentation for 18 and 24 h. Based on correspondence analysis (CA) of the CATA results, bread samples with positive sensory attributes were chosen for further physicochemical analysis. Physicochemical analyses (texture, proximate composition, shelf life, carboxylic acid analysis and amino acid analysis) were carried out on breads formulated with starter culture concentrations of 8.30 log CFU/mL of L. fermentum, 4.90 log CFU/mL of L. fermentum and 9.60 log CFU/mL of L. plantarum, each fermented for 24 h without baker’s yeast. The bread sample that was formulated with a coconut water kefir (CWK) starter culture containing 9.60 log CFU/mL of L. plantarum, without dry yeast and fermented for 24 h, had significantly higher values for almost all amino acids and a lower protein content compared to samples formulated using CWK cultures containing 8.30 log CFU/mL of L. fermentum and 4.90 log CFU/mL of L. fermentum, both without dry yeast and fermented for 24 h. The bread sample formulated with CWK starter culture containing 9.60 log CFU/mL of L. plantarum, without dry yeast and fermented for 24 h, also produced significant quantities of organic acids (pyruvic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid and succinic acid). These changes in the physicochemical properties can improve overall bread quality in terms of flavor, shelf life, texture and nutritional value.

The One

Starter cultures composed of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were developed based on the genotypic and phenotypic characterisation of isolates belonging to dominant groups of bacteria in spontaneous rye wholemeal sourdoughs. Combinations of strains have been evaluated on an industrial scale in the sourdough fermentation process. Wholemeal rye bread was prepared using sourdoughs obtained with 3 new starter cultures, and compared to bread made using the commercial culture (LV2). All newly developed cultures used for the preparation of wholemeal rye bread allowed to obtain better quality products as compared to the LV2 based bread. The best results were obtained when the culture containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 2MI8 and exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing Weissella confusa/cibaria 6PI3 strains was applied. The addition of yeast during sourdough breads production, especially the one prepared from mentioned above starter culture, significantly improved their organoleptic properties, their volume and crumb moisture was increased, and also the crumb acidity and hardness was reduced. Fermentation of rye wholemeal dough, especially without the yeast addition, resulted in a significant reduction in the content of higher inositol phosphates as compared to the applied flour, which is associated with improved bioavailability of minerals. The results of this study prove that the investigated new starter cultures can be successfully applied in wholemeal rye bread production.

ABSTRACT Food fermentations are subject to tremendous selective pressures resulting in the growth and persistence of a limited number of bacterial and fungal taxa. Although these foods are vulnerable to spoilage by unintended contamination of certain microorganisms, or alternatively, can be improved by the deliberate addition of starter culture microbes that accelerate or beneficially modify product outcomes, the impact of either of those microbial additions on community dynamics within the fermentations is not well understood at strain-specific or global scales. Herein, we show how exogenous spoilage yeast or starter lactic acid bacteria confer very different effects on microbial numbers and diversity in olive fermentations. Introduced microbes have long-lasting consequences and result in changes that are apparent even when levels of those inoculants and their major enzymatic activities decline. This work has direct implications for understanding bacterial and fungal invasions of microbial habitats resulting in pivotal changes to community structure and function. In this study, we examined Sicilian-style green olive fermentations upon the addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae UCDFST 09-448 and/or Pichia kudriazevii UCDFST09-427 or the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Lactobacillus plantarum AJ11R and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides BGM3R. Olives containing S. cerevisiae UCDFST 09-448, a strain able to hydrolyze pectin, but not P. kudriazevii UCDFST 09-427, a nonpectinolytic strain, exhibited excessive tissue damage within 4 weeks. DNA sequencing of fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and comparisons to a yeast-specific ITS sequence database remarkably showed that neither S. cerevisiae UCDFST 09-448 nor P. kudriazevii UCDFST 09-427 resulted in significant changes to yeast species diversity. Instead, Candida boidinii constituted the majority (>90%) of the total yeast present, independent of whether S. cerevisiae or P. kudriazevii was added. By comparison, Lactobacillus species were enriched in olives inoculated with potential starter LAB L. plantarum AJ11R and L. pseudomesenteroides BGM3R according to community 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The bacterial diversity of those olives was significantly reduced and resembled control fermentations incubated for a longer period of time. Importantly, microbial populations were highly dynamic at the strain level, as indicated by the large variations in AJ11R and BGM3R cell numbers over time and reductions in the numbers of yeast isolates expressing polygalacturonase activity. These findings show the distinct effects of exogenous spoilage and starter microbes on indigenous communities in plant-based food fermentations that result in very different impacts on product quality. IMPORTANCE Food fermentations are subject to tremendous selective pressures resulting in the growth and persistence of a limited number of bacterial and fungal taxa.

The Impact

We investigated the impact of peroxyacetic acid (PAA; 200 ppm) spray on the microbiota and shelf life of commercial vacuum packed beef stored at chiller temperatures. Ribeye cuts (n=147) were collected from a local beef plant on the day of production for two consecutive days, with one set collected at the start of work with the PAA spray nozzles turned off (control) and during the routine production with the PAA spray nozzles turned on (PAA) on each day. Packs were stored at 4, 2 and -1°C for up to 34, 104 and 180 days, and sampled at appropriate intervals for sensory assessment, microbial enumeration and microbial profiling by 16S rRNA gene amplicon analysis. Treatment with PAA did not affect the initial meat pH, the initial numbers of total aerobes, lactic acid bacteria or Enterobacteriaceae (p>0.05) before storage; however, it delayed the onset of spoilage by 7, 21 and 54 days at 4, 2 and -1°C, respectively. Square root models of the variation of growth rate with temperature indicated lactic acid bacteria grew faster and Enterobacteriaceae grew slower on PAA treated than not treated meat. Negative associations between pH and deterioration of meat during storage were observed for PAA treated meat. During storage, the microbiota were primarily dominated by Carnobacterium and Lactobacillus/Lactococcus on control meat, but by Leuconostoc on PAA treated meat. Serratia, Yersinia and Clostridium were identified by LEfSe analysis as biomarkers for control meat, the latter of which was found in high abundance in samples that had the highest spoilage scores. IMPORTANCE The findings of this study show that PAA solutions applied at low concentrations under commercial settings positively modulated the meat microbiota. It did not have bactericidal effects for beef subprimals with very low microbial load. However, it differentially impacted the members of the microbiota, which resulted in delayed onset of spoilage of vacuum packed beef subprimal stored at all three temperatures (4, 2 and -1°C). This differential impact could be through one or a combination of the following factors: favoring the growth of lactic acid bacteria which may in turn exert a competitive exclusion that might be due to production of antimicrobial compounds such as organic acids and bacteriocins; exerting synergistic antimicrobial effects with low temperatures against members of Enterobacteriaceae; direct or indirect inhibitory effects against members of clostridia. These findings not only advance our understanding of the microbial ecology of vacuum packed meat stored at chiller temperatures, but also suggest bacteriostatic concentrations of antimicrobial interventions can be explored for shelf life extension.

ABSTRACT The changes of people consumtion patterns demands a healthier bread product and tends to be organic food without use synthetic food additives that brings various consequences to health. This condition leads to the development of food additives which has effectiveness equivalent to synthetic food additive but safe for health especially if consumed long term. Lactic acid bacteria is a bacteria that hass been widely used in fermented food production process. Making bread using lactic acid bacteria begins with sourdough or acid dough consisting of flour and water fermented with lactic acid bacteria either derived from a particular natural contaminant from flour or from a starter culture containing one or more known lactic acid bacteria. Various product of actic acid bacteria metabolism such as lactic acid, acetic acid, exopollysaccharide and antimicrobial compounds such as bacteriocin make lactic acid bacteria application in baking process have to the potential to improve microbiological quality and bread shelf-life. This research aims to study the effect of lactic acid bacteria addition as a natural preservative in the baking process. The ability of lactic acid bacteria to evolve naturally from fermented flour and water promises the potential for easy sourdough preparation and can be used continuously as  a natural preservative that will save production cost. The parameters to be determined include evaluation of lactic acid bacteria and yeast growth on dough and determination of moisture content as well as total bacteris, mold and E.coli an bread. Key words: bread, lactic acid bacteria, preservatives, shelf-life, food safety ABSTRAK Pergeseran pola konsumsi masyarakat menuntut adanya produk roti yang lebih sehat dan cenderung bersifat organik tanpa penggunaan Bahan Tambahan Makanan (BTM) sintetis yang membawa berbagai konsekuensi terhadap kesehatan. Kondisi ini mengarah pada berkembangnya pencarian BTM yang memiliki efektifitas yang setara dengan BTM sintetis namun aman bagi kesehatan terutama jika dikonsumsi jangka panjang. Bakteri Asam Laktat (BAL) merupakan golongan bakteri yang telah digunakan secara luas dalam proses produksi makanan fermentasi. Pembuatan roti menggunakan BAL diawali dengan sourdough atau adonan asam yang terdiri atas tepung dan air yang difermentasi dengan BAL baik yang berasal dari  kontaminan alami tertentu dari tepung atau dari suatu kultur starter yang mengandung satu atau lebih BAL yang sudah diketahui jenisnya. Berbagai produk hasil metabolisme BAL seperti asam laktat, asam asetat, eksopolisakarida dan senyawa antimikroba seperti bakteriosin menjadikan aplikasi BAL pada proses pembuatan roti berpotensi meningkatkan kualitas mikrobiologis dan daya simpan roti. Penelitian ini secara khusus bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh penambahan BAL sebagai pengawet alami dalam proses pembuatan roti. Kemampuan BAL untuk berkembang secara alami dari tepung dan air yang difermentasi menjanjikan potensi penyediaan sourdough yang mudah dibuat dan dapat digunakan secara kontinyu sebagai pengawet alami sehingga akan menghemat biaya produksi. Parameter yang akan ditentukan meliputi evaluasi pertumbuhan BAL dan yeast pada adonan dan penentuan kadar air serta total bakteri, kapang dan E. coli pada roti.   Kata kunci: roti, bakteri asam laktat, pengawet, daya simpan, keamanan pangan.

Sourdough Bread

The lactic fermentation of cereals is known to improve the food quality through the development of flavor, enhancement of the nutritional value and shelf life, and by removing toxic or antinutritional factors of food products. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains are able to improve the shelf life of several food products. The efficiency of the LAB cultures determined in in vitro assays was confirmed in bread manufacture. The sourbread prepared using 50 per cent yeast and 50 per cent LAB starter (based on cell density) was found to be superior to the conventional bread in textural characteristics, flavor, appearance and even taste. It contained enough protein (10.15%) and the least fat value (7.68%). It scored the highest acceptability index of 81.70. These results point out the advantages of using selected LAB strains as starter cultures for sourdough fermentation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sourdough (indirect bread dough mixing method) on the quality of rye/wheat bread (TYPE 500 wheat flour and whole grain rye flour - 60:40) and determine its advantages over the straight dough method. Three bread dough mixing methods were used: I - indirect bread dough mixing using flour scalding; II - indirect bread dough mixing without flour scalding; III - straight dough mixing. The study involved the monitoring of the following: microbial characterristics of the flour and dough (yeasts and lactic acid bacteria) and of the bread (presence of Enterobacteriaceae, yeasts and moulds); chemical properties of the dough and the bread (pH and degree of acidity); organoleptic attributes of bread (volume, porosity according to Dallman, crumb elasticity, pore structure fineness, bread crumb score, external appearance, crumb appearance, flavour of both the crust and the crumb). The results showed the highest counts of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts in the indirect bread dough mixing method using rye flour scalding. The rye/wheat bread made with sourdough had a mild sourish flavour, an intense aroma, a prolonged shelf life, and reduced crumbliness. The study suggests that the technological process of sourdough-type rye/wheat bread making is an important requirement in improving bread quality and assortment that can be used in any bakery facility.
