Effect of processing conditions on acidification properties of wheat sour doughs

The pH, total titratable acidity (TTA) and lactic and acetic acids production have been investigated for wheat sour doughs with and without yeast addition, inoculated with two strains of Lactobacillus plantarum (B33, B39). To study the effect of flour extraction rate (0.54, 11.11 and 1.68% ash content), dough yield (DY) (160, 200 and 240 of sour dough/100 g flour), and fermentation temperature (25, 30 and 35°C) a response surface regression, factor analysis and K-means clustering analysis were used. Results from factor analysis point out that the extraction rate of flour governs TTA and acetic acid content; this factor accounts for the 53% of variability of the data. Dough yield is highly correlated with lactic acid content, explaining 27% of the total variance. Finally, temperature explains the remaining 16% of variation, but it is not related to any analytical variable. From K-means clustering analysis, flour extraction rate of 1.68% ash content leads to the highest TTA and acetic acid values, whereas DY of 240 g sour dough/100 g flour gives the greatest lactic acid content, and DY of 160 leads to the lowest levels of TTA and organic acids.

Results from factor analysis point out that the extraction rate of flour governs TTA and acetic acid content; this factor accounts for the 53% of variability of the data. Dough yield is highly correlated with lactic acid content, explaining 27% of the total variance.
