Organic Cultivation of Triticum turgidum subsp. durum Is Reflected in the Flour-Sourdough Fermentation-Bread Axis

摘要

Triticum turgidum subsp. durum was grown according to four farming systems: conventional (C_(ONV)), organic with cow manure (O_(MAN)) or green manure (O_(LEG)), and without inputs (NO_(INPUT)). Some chemical and technological characteristics differed between C_(ONV) and organic flours. As shown by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) analysis, O_(MAN) and O_(LEG) flours showed the highest number of gliadins, and O_(MAN) flour also had the highest number of high-molecular-mass glutenins. Type I sourdoughs were prepared at the laboratory level through a back-slopping procedure, and the bacterial ecology during sourdough preparation was described by 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing. Before fermentation, the dough made with C_(ONV) flour showed the highest bacterial diversity. Flours were variously contaminated by genera belonging to the Proteobacteria , Firmicutes , and Actinobacteria . Mature sourdoughs were completely and stably dominated by lactic acid bacteria. The diversity of Firmicutes was the highest for mature sourdoughs made with organic and, especially, NO_(INPUT) flours. Beta diversity analysis based on the weighted UniFrac distance showed differences between doughs and sourdoughs. Those made with C_(ONV) flour were separated from the other with organic flours. Lactic acid bacterium microbiota structure was qualitatively confirmed through the culturing method. As shown by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis, yeasts belonging to the genera Saccharomyces , Candida , Kazachstania , and Rhodotorula occurred in all sourdoughs. Levels of bound phenolic acids and phytase and antioxidant activities differed depending on the farming system. Mature sourdoughs were used for bread making. Technological characteristics were superior in the breads made with organic sourdoughs. The farming system is another determinant affecting the sourdough microbiota. The organic cultivation of durum wheat was reflected along the flour-sourdough fermentation-bread axis.
