Automatic method for evaluating the activity of sourdough strains based on gas pressure measurements.

Abstract:

:A new method is proposed for the evaluation of the activity of sourdough strains, based on gas pressure measurements in closed air-tight reactors. Gas pressure and pH were monitored on-line during the cultivation of commercial yeasts and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria on a semi-synthetic medium with glucose as the major carbon source. Relative gas pressure evolution was compared both to glucose consumption and to acidification and growth. It became obvious that gas pressure evolution is related to glucose consumption kinetics. For each strain, a correlation was made between maximum gas pressure variation and amount of glucose consumed. The mass balance of CO2 in both liquid and gas phase demonstrated that around 90% of CO2 was recovered. Concerning biomass production, a linear relationship was found between log colony-forming units/ml and log pressure for both yeasts and bacteria during the exponential phase; and for yeasts, relative gas pressure evolution also followed optical density variation.
