Ayçürök MACİTOVA | Acar Makambay Kızı

The isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from traditional fermented koumiss and homemade dry rye sourdough were examined for their potential to be used in bread production without baker’s yeast. Among twenty isolates, three with superior fermentation ability and acidification capability were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Leuconostoc mesenteroides from koumiss, Levilactobacillus brevis from 48 h activated rye sourdough, and Leuconostoc citreum from rye sourdough extract were singly and mixed (1:1:1) inoculated into liquid sourdoughs and used for bread-making tests. Bread prepared wi ...Более
