Unveiling the impact of traditional sourdough propagation methods on the microbiological, biochemical, sensory, and technological properties of sourdough and bread: a comprehensive... by Erica Pontonio, Giuseppe Perri, Maria Calasso, Giuseppe Celano, Michela Verni, Carlo Giuseppe Rizzello

“…Differences among the propagation methods emerged from the biochemical analysis. Sourdoughs propagated in water exhibited higher titratable acidity, mainly due to the acetic acid produced, and were characterized by a more complex aromatic profile which differentiated them from the others.Biochemical features of breads mainly reflected those of the corresponding sourdough, whereas nutritional (protein digestibility and glycemic index) and technological (texture profile, colorimetric coordinates) features were hardly affected by the propagation method. …”
