Abstract
This study aimed to quantify α-amylase/trypsin inhibitor (ATI) CM3 and glutathione (GSH) during wheat sourdough breadmaking. Breads were made with two wheat cultivars and fermented with Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis, F. sanfranciscensis ΔgshR or Latilactobacillus sakei; chemically acidified and straight doughs served as controls. Samples were analysed after mixing, after proofing and after baking. GSH and CM3 were quantified by multi-reaction-monitoring-based methods on an LC-QTRAP mass spectrometer. Undigested ATI extracts were further examined by SDS-PAGE. GSH abundance was similar after mixing and after proofing but increased after baking (p<0.001), regardless of fermentation. In breads baked with cv. Brennan, the samples fermented with lactobacilli had higher GSH abundance (p<0.001) than in the controls. CM3 relative abundance remained similar after mixing and after proofing but decreased after baking (p<0.001) across all treatments. This trend was supported by the SDS-PAGE analysis in which ATI band intensities decreased after baking (p<0.001) in all experimental conditions. The overall effect of baking exerted a greater effect on the abundances of GSH and CM3 than fermentation conditions. This is the first report to quantify ATI over the course of breadmaking by LC-MS/MS in sourdough and straight dough processes.
