    Mikrobiologische und biochemische Analyse der Fermentationseigenschaften von Lactobacillus paralimentarius AL28 und Lactobacillus plantarum AL30 in Sauerteigen aus Pseudozerealien
    (2011) Vogel, Antje; Schmidt, Herbert
    Pseudocereals are absent of gluten and therefore are important for people having a gluten-intolerance. Today no commercial starter cultures are available for sourdough fermentations with pseudocereals. This PHD-Thesis shows results of the characterisation of L. paralimentarius AL28 and L. plantarum AL30 concerning an application in pseudocereal sourdoughs. The fermentation properties of the strains, applied as single strains and in combination, were assessed in laboratory scale fermentations with amaranth and buckwheat. The fermentation studies were performed with a dough yield of 200 and over a period of two to ten days at 30°C with daily refreshment step. The investigated strains acidified the sourdoughs fast within the first two propagation steps as single strains as well as in combination (approximately pH 4). In amaranth higher total titratable acidity (TTA) -values (TTA between 25 and 30) were measured than in buckwheat (TTA of 20). 16S rDNA / 28S rDNA-PCR sequencing and RAPD-PCR were applied to determine the bacterial and eucaryotic species affiliation, respectively, and to trace specific strains during the fermentation process. The analysed strains competed against the autochthonous microbiota with the result of suppression the majority of yeasts and moulds as well as strains of their own species within the first 12 h of sourdough fermentation. They also suppressed an autochthonous microbiota grown up to 10^8 cfu/g sourdough. Single strains as well as the combination of both strains dominated the microflora in all tested flours / fermentation batches. Both strains displayed reproducible results concerning their over-all fermentation characteristics. L. paralimentarius AL28 and L. plantarum AL30, respectively, dominated the LAB viable counts in all flours after 10 days of fermentation as single strains (>/= 68 % and >/= 98 % of LAB, respectively) as well as in combination. In the latter case strain L. plantarum AL30 was especially competitive in buckwheat (AL28:AL30 = 1:1), more than in amaranth (AL28:AL30 = 4:1). The strains were characterised by their short lag-phase of
