Zusammenfassung: | Despite the diverse functions of yeast, only a relatively homogenous group of
yeasts is used in the baking industry. Much of the potential of the natural diversity of yeasts has not been explored, and the sensory complexity of fermented baked foods is limited. While research on non-conventional yeast strains in bread making is increasing, it is minimal for sweet fermented bakery products. In this study, the fermentation characteristics of 23 yeasts from the bakery, beer, wine, and spirits industries were investigated in sweet dough (14% added sucrose
/
dm flour). Significant differences in invertase activity, sugar consumption (0.78-5.25%
/
dm flour), and metabolite (0.33-3.01% CO
; 0.20-1.26% ethanol; 0.17-0.80% glycerol; 0.09-0.29% organic acids) and volatile compound production were observed. A strong positive correlation (R
= 0.76,
< 0.001) between sugar consumption and metabolite production was measured. Several non-conventional yeast strains produced more positive aroma compounds and fewer off-flavors than the reference baker's yeast. This study shows the potential of non-conventional yeast strains in sweet dough. |
