Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a mixture of lactic bacteria for the preparation of gluten free baked products.
  • the invention concerns the use of "natural yeast” based on lactic bacteria selected as “yeasting agent” for the production of gluten-free bread to be used by celiac patients.
  • yeasting agent for the production of gluten-free bread to be used by celiac patients.
  • the use of selected lactic bacteria and proposed production protocol allow an improvement of organoleptic nutritional and storageability characteristics in comparison to gluten-free obtained bread using brewer's yeast or chemical yeasting.
  • gluten- free foods As reported in Standard Codex adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) are defined gluten- free foods according to following: (i) are prepared from originally not containing wheat ingredients (all species of genus Triticum), spelt, kamut, rye, barley, oat or their crossed varieties and with gluten concentration lower than 20 ppm; (ii) are prepared using ingredients extracted from wheat, spelt, rye, barley, oat or their crossed- varieties and are made gluten-free with a gluten concentration not higher than 200 ppm; and (iii) are prepared from a mixture of item (i) and (ii) ingredients with a gluten concentration not higher than 200 ppm.

  • a propagation protocol of "natural yeast” involving propagation thereof for 8-24 h in a knead consisting of gluten-free ingredients and its successive use has been standardized and optimized, at various percentages according to desired characteristics, like natural starter or ingredient for a short yeasting (about 1-3 h) preceding the bread baking.
  • the fermentation process using "natural yeast” allows (i) a possible gluten detoxification (about 300 ppm) of the gluten occurring as a contaminant in the gluten-free ingredients; (ii) increases by 3-10 times, depending on dosage and using type, the concentration of free amino acids in comparison to the use of brewer's yeast as yeasting agent, thus improving the nutritional value of bread; (iii) is characterised by a phytase activity by about 10 times higher than using brewer's yeast as yeasting agent, increasing therefore the bioavailability of bread mineral salts as demonstrated with reference to Ca 2+ and Zn 2+ using atomic absorption spectrophotometry; (iv) allows the sensory properties to be improved, in comparison to the use of brewer's yeast as yeasting agent, conferring a traditional bread typical taste and aroma; and (v) determines a better shelf-life of the bread avoiding the use of chemical conservative agents.
  • the strain mixture according to the present invention displays peptidase type activity and acidification power much higher than obtained with L. fermentum used in prior art.
  • Enzymatic activities of the mixture according to the present invention have the nutritional advantage of favouring higher release of amino acids thus increasing nutritional availabilities thereof; freeing a greater amount of precursors of volatile compounds generated during the baking process and responsible of bread typical aroma; and contributing to the detoxification of possible gluten traces, as gluten-free product contaminant.

Description

MIXTURE OF LACTIC BACTERIA FOR THE PREPARATION OF GLUTEN FREE BAKED PRODUCTS
The present invention concerns a mixture of lactic bacteria for the preparation of gluten free baked products. Particularly, the invention concerns the use of "natural yeast" based on lactic bacteria selected as "yeasting agent" for the production of gluten-free bread to be used by celiac patients. The use of selected lactic bacteria and proposed production protocol allow an improvement of organoleptic nutritional and storageability characteristics in comparison to gluten-free obtained bread using brewer's yeast or chemical yeasting.
The epidemiology of gluten intolerance or celiac disease is continuously growing. Last surveys with reference to the European and United States population report an incidence of 1/100 individual (Revers, 2005. Epidemiology of celiac disease: what are the prevalence, incidence, and progression of celiac disease? Gastroenterology-. 128:47 - 51). According to current knowledge the only effective therapeutic remedy against this food intolerance is a diet completely lacking in gluten (gluten-free) to be rigorously maintained for all the life (Hamer, 2005. Celiac Disease: Background and biochemical aspects. Biotechnol Advanc 23:401 - 408). Celiac patients subjected to a stringent dietetic regimen (zero tolerance) recover, in many cases, the normal morphology of the villas and intestinal crypts (Hamer, 2005. Celiac Disease: Background and biochemical aspects. Biotechnol Advanc 23:401 - 408). As reported in Standard Codex adopted by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) are defined gluten- free foods according to following: (i) are prepared from originally not containing wheat ingredients (all species of genus Triticum), spelt, kamut, rye, barley, oat or their crossed varieties and with gluten concentration lower than 20 ppm; (ii) are prepared using ingredients extracted from wheat, spelt, rye, barley, oat or their crossed- varieties and are made gluten-free with a gluten concentration not higher than 200 ppm; and (iii) are prepared from a mixture of item (i) and (ii) ingredients with a gluten concentration not higher than 200 ppm. A large variety of gluten-free products is commercially available: bread, pizza, biscuit and pasta (Gallagher et al 2004. Recent advances in the formulation of gluten-free cereal-based products. Trends Food Ski Techno! 15:143 - 152). Generally the quality of gluten-free bread, in terms of sensory and rheological characteristics, is lower than the bread prepared from wheat flour or rye (Gallagher et al., 2004. Recent advances in the formulation of gluten-free cereal-based products. Trends Food Ski Techno/ 15:143 - 152). The absence of gluten and, therefore, difficultly' replaceable structural properties, and the application of production protocols adapted for non conventional ingredients, mainly determine lower quality (Gallagher et al., 2004. Recent advances in the formulation of gluten-free cereal-based products. Trends Food Ski Technol 15:143 - 152). The most recent literature reports show various studies carried out in order to improve the rheological and storageability properties. In particular, the use of differently occurring starches, (Gallagher et al., 2002. Novel rices starches1 in gluten- free bread. Proceedings of the International Association of Cereal Chemists Conference. 24-26; Demiate et al., 2000. Relationship between baking behaviour of modified cassava starches and starch chemical structure by FTIR spectroscopy. Carbohyd Polym 42:149 - 158), rubbers and other hydrocolloids is reported (for example hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, carrageenans, xanthanes) (Kang et al., 1997. Kor Jour Food Ski Technol 29:700 - 704; Schwarzlaff et al., 1996. Guar and locust bean gums as partial replacers of all-purpose flour in bread: an objective and sensory evaluation. J Food Qual 19:217 - 229), soy proteins (Ranhorta et al., 1975. Preparation and fortification of soy-fortified gluten-free bread. J Food Sci 40:62 - 64) and milk powders and rice (Gallagher et al., 2003. The effect of dairy and powder addition on loaf and crumb characteristics, and on shelf life (intermediate and long-term) of gluten-free breads stored in a modified atmosphere. Eur Food Res Technol 218:44 - 48), which in various formulations can contribute to improve the structure arid shelf-life of the gluten-free products. Since it has been demonstrated that the celiac patients are subjected to a lower absorption of fibres, minerals and other nutrients, in comparison to individuals subjected to a normal alimentary regimen (Grehn et al., 2001. Dietary habits of Swedish adult celiac patients treated by to gluten-free diet for 10 years. Scand J Nutr 45:178 - 182; Mariani et al., 1998. The gluten-free diet: a nutritional risk factor for adolescents with celiac disease. J Pediart Gastroenterol Nut 27:519 - 523), the enrichment of gluten-free products with fibres of various origins (for example inuline) has been also considered by various research groups (Gibson and Roberfroid, 1995. Dietary modulation of the human colonic microbiota: introducing the concept of prebiotics. J Nut 125:1401 - 1412; Taylor and Parker, 2002. Quinoa. Pseudocereals and less common cereals, wheat properties and utilisation potential 93-122; Tosi et al., 1996. Utilisation of whole amaranthus (Amarantus cruentus) flour in the manufacture of biscuits for celiacs. Alimentaria 34:49 - 51). The technology of gluten-free products is mainly basqd on the use of yeasting chemicals or brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) (Gallagher et al., 2004. Recent advances in the formulation of gluten-free cereal-based products. Trends Food Ski Technol 15:143 - 152). According to current knowledge it is known the Patent Application WO02065842 concerning a starter for the production of bread and baked products, in particular gluten- free, wherein said starter is based on Lactobacillus fermentum. Further a study is known (Arendt unpublished data in Katina et al., 2005. Potential of sourdough for healthier cereal products. Trends Food Sci Technol 16:104 - 112) wherein is described the use of "natural yeast" as biological and natural yeasting agent for the gluten-free bread production, based on rice, soy, saracen wheat and xanthanes, in order to boost the taste and aroma, and extend the shelf-life. Obtained results have demonstrated that the use of "natural yeast" is technologically possible also in gluten-free products and in particular the storageability and taste are improved in comparison to same products obtained using brewer's yeast or chemical yeasting. The "natural yeast", a cocktail of lactic bacteria and yeasts originated from raw matter, is frequently used in the technology of yeasted baked products. Various studies carried out in last decade (Gobbetti et al., 2005. Bacteria Biochemistry and physiology of sourdough lactic acid bacteria. Trends Food Sci Technol 16:57 - 69) demonstrated that the acidification process and peptidase activity exerted by the lactic bacteria of natural yeast are suitable to improve taste, Theological, nutritional and stprageability characteristics of baked yeasted products. Recent studies (Di Cagno et al., 2002. Proteolysis by sourdough lactic acid bacteria: Effects on wheat flour protein fractions and gliadin peptides involved in human cereal intolerance. Appl Environ Microbiol 68:623 - 633; Di Cagno et al., 2004. A sourdough bread made from wheat and non-toxic flours and started with selected lactobacilli is tolerated in celiac sprue. Appl Environ Microbiol 70:1088 - 1096; De Angelis et al., 2005. VSL#3' probiotic preparation has the capacity to hydrolyse gliadin polypeptides responsible for celiac sprue. Biochim Biophys Acta-Moleculare Basis of Disease 1762:80 - 93) demonstrated that lactic bacteria of "natural yeast", when selected for their proteolytic activity, are able to degrade remarkably gluten fractions responsible for celiac pathology. In this context, some studies (Størsrud et al., 2003. Gluten contamination in oat products and products naturally free from gluten. Eur Food Res Technol 217:281 - 485) carried out on commercially available products in North-Europe demonstrated that remarkable percentage (about 30 %) of gluten-free products can be contaminated by gluten traces (100-300 ppm), which can constitute possible risk for the individuals subjected to this intolerance. Based on the literature reported and above described data, some problems appear to be prior with reference to quality of the gluten-free products: (i) to improve sensory quality since too much different from conventional products; (ii) to increase the nutritional value in order to abridge the absorption deficiency of celiac patients; (iii) to reduce the contaminating risks from gluten possibly occurring in field or during the transformation process; and (iv) to extend the storageability.
In the light of above it is therefore apparent the need to provide materials and methods for the preparation of baked products not displaying disadvantages of known ones. The Authors of the present invention have now discovered a "natural yeast" consisting of a mixture of selected lactic. bacteria and provided a production protocol suitable to enhance the taste and nutritional characteristics, which can be considered technological instruments suitable to solve the priority problems for the quality of gluten-free bread. Lactic bacteria according to the present invention belong to the Lactobacillus genus and have been previously isolated from "natural yeast" for the production of Centre and Southern Italy typical bread. The selection has been carried out among 55 breads isolated based on proteolytic, acidifying, phytase activities and more generally on the ability to determine optimal sensory characteristics. Lactic bacteria according to the present invention, have been deposited on 11 July 2006 at DSMZ qualified collection centre, which assigned for every bacterium the following deposit numbers according to following correspondence: Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis LS40 = DSM 18426 L sanfranciscensis LS41 = DSM 18427 Lactobacillus rossiae LR15 = DSM 18428 Lactobacillus rossiae Ci35 = DSM 18429 Lactobacillus plantarum CF1 = DSM 18430 Lactobacillus curvatus 1Hd = DSM 18431 Lactobacillus farciminis 2XA3 = DSM 18432
However, after the shipment to DSMZ it has been communicated to the agency that really the correct denominations of Lactobacillus curvatus 1 Hd and Lactobacillus farciminis 2XA3 are Lactobacillus brevis 1Hd and Pediococcus pentosaceus 2XA3.
Therefore, in the continuation of the disclosure, the bacteria according to the invention Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis LS40, L. sanfranciscensis LS41, Lactobacillus rossiae LR15, Lactobacillus rossiae Ci35, Lactobacillus plantarum CF1 , Lactobacillus brevis 1Hd, Pediococcus pentosaceus 2XA3 from now on will be denominated respectively Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis (DSM 18426), L. sanfranciscensis (DSM 18427), Lactobacillus rossiae (DSM 18428), Lactobacillus rossiae (DSM 18429), Lactobacillus plantarum (DSM 18430), Lactobacillus brevis (DSM 18431), Pediococcus pentosaceus (DSM 18432).
Particularly, the following mixture to be used in the form of "natural yeast" has been selected: Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis (DSM 18426), L. sanfranciscensis (DSM 18427) and Lactobacillus plantarum (DSM 18430). Figure 1 shows the partial sequences of 16S rRNA genes of L. sanfranciscensis (DSM 18426), L sanfranciscensis (DSM 18427) and
L. plantarum (DSM 18430) obtained by PCR amplification using
LpigF/LiPR primer.
(TACGGGAGGCAGCAGTAG/CATGGTGTGACGGGCGGT, respectively SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2).
A propagation protocol of "natural yeast" involving propagation thereof for 8-24 h in a knead consisting of gluten-free ingredients and its successive use has been standardized and optimized, at various percentages according to desired characteristics, like natural starter or ingredient for a short yeasting (about 1-3 h) preceding the bread baking.
The fermentation process using "natural yeast" according to the present invention allows (i) a possible gluten detoxification (about 300 ppm) of the gluten occurring as a contaminant in the gluten-free ingredients; (ii) increases by 3-10 times, depending on dosage and using type, the concentration of free amino acids in comparison to the use of brewer's yeast as yeasting agent, thus improving the nutritional value of bread; (iii) is characterised by a phytase activity by about 10 times higher than using brewer's yeast as yeasting agent, increasing therefore the bioavailability of bread mineral salts as demonstrated with reference to Ca2+ and Zn2+ using atomic absorption spectrophotometry; (iv) allows the sensory properties to be improved, in comparison to the use of brewer's yeast as yeasting agent, conferring a traditional bread typical taste and aroma; and (v) determines a better shelf-life of the bread avoiding the use of chemical conservative agents. Moreover, the strain mixture according to the present invention displays peptidase type activity and acidification power much higher than obtained with L. fermentum used in prior art. Enzymatic activities of the mixture according to the present invention have the nutritional advantage of favouring higher release of amino acids thus increasing nutritional availabilities thereof; freeing a greater amount of precursors of volatile compounds generated during the baking process and responsible of bread typical aroma; and contributing to the detoxification of possible gluten traces, as gluten-free product contaminant.
Lactic bacteria Lactobacillus rossiae (DSM 18429) and (DSM 18428), Lactobacillus brevis (DSM 18431) and Pediococcus pentosaceus (DSM 18432) can be used in various formulations differing in comparison to the above mixture mainly from the sensory point of view.

Preferred lactic bacteria according to the invention L. sanfranciscensis (DSM 18426), L sanfranciscensis (DSM 18427) and L plantarum (DSM 18430) have been characterised by sequencing, as illustrated in figure 1. (1) Proteolytic activity
The selection based on proteolytic activity has been carried out using cells cultured for 24 h, harvested by centrifugation (10,000 g x 10 min, 4°C), washed twice in phosphate buffer 50 mM, pH 7,0 and re-suspended in the same buffer at 2.5 optical density (A62onm), correspondent to a cellular density of 108 ufc/ml. Proteinase activity has been tested on albumins and
10. globulins extracted from wheat flour (Weiss, et al., 1993. Electrophoretic characterisation of wheat grain allergens from different cultivars involved in baker's asthma, Electrophoresis 14:805 - 816). The reaction mixture, containing 0,9 ml of the albumin-globulin fraction (ca. 4 mg/ml of protein) and 0.1 ml of cell suspension, has been incubated at 300C for 48 h under
15 stirring (150 rpm). SDS-PAGE monodimensional electrophoresis has been carried out according to Laemmli system (Laemmli, 1970. Cleavage of structural proteins during the assembly of the head of bacteriophage T4, Nature 227:680 - 685). Type N aminopeptidase (PepN) and proline iminopeptidase (Pepl) activities, have been determined using synthetic substrates, respectively, Leu-p-NA and For~p-NA. The reaction mixture comprised: 0,9 ml of K-phosphate buffer 50 mM, pH 7,0 wherein synthetic substrate was dissolved (final concentration 2 mM) and 100 μλ of cell suspension. Enzymatic activity, expressed as activity unit (U)1 correspond to the enzyme amount necessary to release 1 μmol/min p-nitroanilide (Gobbetti et a!., 1996. The proteolytic system of . Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis CB1: purification and characterisation of a proteinase, dipeptidase, and aminopeptidase. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 62:3220 - 3226). Prolidase (PepQ) and prolinase (PepR) have been determined as described by Di Cagno and coworkers, (Di Cagno et a!., 2004. Sourdough bread made from wheat and nontoxic flours and starter with selected lactobacilli is tolerated in celiac sprue patients^ Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 70:1088 - 1096) on, respectively, Val-Pro and For-Gly. Dipeptidase (PepV) and tripeptidase (PepT) have been determined according to Cd-ninidrine method (Gobbetti et al., 1999. Study of the effects of temperature, pH, NaCI, and aw on the proteolytic and lipolytic activities of cheese-related lactic acid bacteria by quadratic response surface methodology, Enzyme Microbial Technol 25:795 - 809) using, respectively, Leu-Leu and Leu-Leu- Leu. An activity unit (U) has been defined as the enzyme amount necessary in order to release 1 μmol of amino acid/min.
(2) Acidification power
The selection based on the acidification power has been carried out on 100 g of knead (knead yield 160) using 62.51 g of flour mixture, as native corn, white corn, rice flour and saracen wheat flour, at 15, 15, 65 and 5 weight %, and 37,5 ml of water containing cell suspension of the single lactic bacteria at final cell density 108 ufc/g of knead. Acidification kinetics of the kneads has been detected on-line measuring pH (pH-meter 507, Crison, Italy). The data have been modelled using Gompertz equation modified by Zwietering and co-workers (Zwietering et al., 1990. Modelling of bacterial growth curve. Appl Environ Microbiol 56: 1875-1881).
(3) Gluten detoxification
Gluten detoxification tests have been carried out on 100 g of knead (knead yield 160) using 62.51 g of flour mixture, as native corn, white corn, rice flour and saracen wheat flour, at 15, 15, 65 and 5 %, and 37,5 ml of water containing the cell suspensions of the selected lactic bacteria for the higher proteolytic activity (Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis (DSM 18426), (DSM 18427), Lactobacillus rossiae (DSM 18429), (DSM 18428), Pediococcus pentosaceus (DSM 18432) and Lactobacillus brevis (DSM 18431)) at a final cell density 108 ufc/g of knead. A gluten amount of 500 or 1000 ppm has been added to knead. Two control kneads containing, respectively, 500 and 1000 ppm of gluten, and 0,15 g of NaN3 (p/p), have been produced without bacterial inoculum and chemically acidified at pH 3,6. The kneads have been incubated at 300C for 5, 24 and 48 h. At the end of the fermentation, ELISA test was used for the gluten quantification (Transia Plate, Diffchamb). (4) Characterisation of the fermented kneads
Selected lactic bacteria have been used in five different formulations emplyed for the production of kneads based on a flour mixture consisting of native com, white corn, rice flour and saracen wheat flour (Table 2). Table 2

The produced kneads as previously indicated have been incubated for 24 h at 300C. A knead without bacterial inoculum, fermented using brewer's yeast (1.5 %) for 2 h at 300C, was used as control. The characterisation of the kneads fermented with the different formulations and correspondent control included: (i) acidification kinetics (Zwietering et al., 1990. Modelling of bacterial growth curves. Appl Environ Microbiol 56: 1875-1881); (ii) the determination of organic acids (D- and L- lactic acid and acetic acid) produced during the fermentation by means of enzymatic kits (DHFF CHAMB Italy SrI1 Italy) (iii) cell density by plate counting on mMRS agar (Oxoid, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England), (iv) phytase activity by detection of released inorganic orthophosphate, using the method described by Fiske and Subbarow (Fiske and Subbarow, 1925. The colorimetric determination of phosphorus. J. Biol. Chem. ' 66:375) and Shimizu (Shimizu, 1992. Purification and characterisation of phytase from Bacillus subtilis (Natto) n-77. Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 56:1266 - 1269); and (v) the determination of total amino acid content by means of "Amino Acid Analyser Biochrom 30" (Biochrom Ltd, Cambridge, UK), using a catipnic exchange column (Na Oxidised Feedstuff, 20 cm x 4,6 mm).
(5) Production of gluten-free bread
The different formulations of selected "natural yeast" have been used for the production of gluten-free bread considering various technological solutions. After fermentation for 24 h, it has been used as (i) fresh natural starter by inoculating at 5-30 % base knead consisting of above reported ingredients or like (ii) ingredient (15%) providing the preliminary drying. Brewer's yeast (1%) and NaCI (0.3%) were added to the kneads and incubated at 300C for 2 h before the baking (50 min at 2200C) rn laboratory oven. A control bread control was produced using knead fermented with brewer's yeast (2%) at 300C for 2 h. The following determinations were carried out on produced breads: (i) analysis of the bioavailable mineral element content by water extraction and subsequent determination by atomic absorption spectrophotometry; (ii) sensory analysis by panel test carried out by 6 not trained tasters (Haglund et al., 1998. Sensory evaluation of wholemeal bread from ecologically and conventionally grown wheat. J. Cereal Sci. 27:199 - 207) and using for each attribute a continuous scale of increasing intensity in the value range from 0 to 100; (iii) analysis of the specific volume and hardness according to AACC 10- 10 and AACC 74-09 official methods (Approved Association Cereal Chemistry, X Edition, Ed. AACC, St. Paul, Minnesota - U.S.A.); and (iv) shelf-life test by means of bread production on industrial scale, packaging in modified atmosphere (40 % N2 and 60% CO≥) and successive storage for 6 months in absence of conservative chemical compounds. Results
(1) Proteinase activity Proteinase activity, determined using albumins and globulins as substrate, evidenced heterogeneous hydrolysis profiles. In Figure 2 the profiles of L sanfranciscensis (DSM 18426), L brevis (DSM 18431) and L rossiae (DSM 18428) and (DSM 18429) which are representative of more remarkable proteinase activities are reported. Such enzym.atic activity which can be complementary to that one of endogenous flour enzymes used in the production of gluten-free foods constitutes the initial step in the process of protein degradation. Peptidase activity was assayed on relatively specific synthetic substrates. In Figure 3 results relating to strains belonging to L sanfranciscensis species are reported. It is possible to observe that for all considered enzymatic activities, with the exception of tripeptidase type activity, strains (DSM 18426) and (DSM 18427) have activity remarkably higher than other strains* According to the same criterion the selection for strains belonging to other species was carried out. The availability of a Culture Collection for the screening and the large number of assayed enzymatic activities constitute the premise in order to obtain not generally available selected strains. L sanfranciscensis (DSM 18426) and (DSM 18427), L rossiae (DSM 18429) and (DSM 18428), L brevis (DSM 18431) and P. pentosaceus (DSM 18432) were selected on the base of proteinase and peptidase activities. In particular, a.comparison of peptidase type activities of selected species and strains with two Lactobacilli! fermentum strains used in initial screening always pointed out higher peptidase activity (40-80% on average) for all tested substrates. Enzymatic activities based on which the selection has been carried out can have a multiple value: (i) to favour a greater release of amino acids thus increasing nutritional availabilities; (ii) to release greater amount of volatile compound precursors generated during the baking process and responsible for the typical bread aroma; and (iii) to contribute to the detoxification of possible gluten traces, as contaminant of the gluten-free products. (2) Acidification power
The acidification power of lactic bacteria isolates has been directly determined on acid kneads fermented with single microorganism for 7 h at 30°C. In Figure 4 results relating to strains belonging to L sanfranciscensis species are reported. It is possible to observe that (DSM 18426) strains, and in particular (DSM 18427)^ have been characterised also by a good acidification power, expressed in terms of ΔpH and μmax. 5 The selection for strains belonging to other species was carried out according to the same criterion. In particular, L. plantarum (DSM 18430) has been selected on the base of acidification power characterised by ΔpH values higher than 2,3. All selected species or strains displayed acidification power and velocity higher than those determined for two L.
10 fermentum strains considered in the screening.
(3) Gluten detoxification
Lactic bacteria pool selected based on proteolysis, activity (L. sanfranciscensis (18426) and (DSM 18427), L rossiae (DSM 18429) and (DSM 18428), L brevis (DSM 18431) and P. pentosaceus (DSM 18432))
15 initially, was used for detoxification of 500 or 1000 ppm of gluten deliberately added to the gluten-free kneads in order to simulate the contamination. After 48 h incubation of the kneads a decrease of about 40% ' in presence of both gluten concentrations has been observed. Shorter incubation times, i.e. 24 h, displayed similar detoxification
20 percentages, while a 5 h incubation did not allow substantial decreases of gluten concentrations. L sanfranciscensis (DSM 18426) and (DSM 18427) and L. plantarum (DSM 18430) in combination displayed an hydrolysis activity of the gluten similar to a pool consisting of higher number of isolates. The same combination of lactic bacteria was suitable to reduce at
25 a threshold of 20 ppm an initial gluten concentration of about. 300 ppm, which is a reasonable contamination value for gluten-free starting materials. A similar activity against the gluten can allow higher safety use of gluten-free ingredients involving a gluten biological decontamination during the fermentation process.
30 (4) Characterisation of fermented kneads
In Table 2 the formulations of "natural yeast" based on selected lactic bacteria are reported. Each formulation was used for fermentation of kneads for 12 h at 300C. A knead fermented only with brewer's yeast for 2 h at 3O0C was used as a control. All the produced kneads after 12 h of
35. fermentation, always reached ΔpH values higher than 2,4 (final pH of the knead about 3,4) (Figure 4), indicating for all the formulations the ability to provoke a remarkable acidification. In particular, the knead obtained using n. 5 combination (L sanfranciscensis (DSM 18426) and (DSM 18427), and L. rossiae (DSM 18429)) displayed highest ΔpH value equal to about 2,6, while n. 3 combination (P. pentosaceus (DSM 18432), L plantarum (DSM 18430) and L rossiae (DSM 18428)) displayed the lowest ΔpH value equal to about. 2,45. In terms of the maximum acidification velocity (Mmax) the kneads obtained using n. 3, 4 (L. brevis (DSM 18431), L. plantarum (DSM 18430) and L rossiae (DSM 18429)) and 5 combinations displayed highest ΔpH value equal to about 1,3 h"1. The acidification power represents one of the parameters to be considered in order to improve the organoleptic characteristics of yeasted product, even if not always the highest acidification power is constantly together with a good bread structure and/or aroma, in particular in the case of the gluten-free flour use. In all the kneads, with the exception of the control knead, the organic acid presence was detected, in particular, the variations were as following: L-lactic acid from 21 to 82 mM, D-lactic acid from 51 to 75 mM and acetic acid from 10 to 30 mM (Table 3 shows concentrations of L- and D-lactic acid, acetic acid and fermentation quotient of kneads fermented for 12 h at 300C with formulations of selected lactic bacteria). Table 3

Termentation quotient, molar ratio between lactic acid and acetic acid. Detected concentrations of three acids and lactic and acetic acid ratio reflect the metabolic profile of the lactic bacteria present in the combination. The organic acid ratio corresponds to that normally found in acid"kneads (equal to 4:1), with the exception v of the knead obtained with n. 3 combination. The concentration of organic acids, can provide useful information on the contribution that in terms of aroma to the finished product can result from lactic bacteria. Generally, the value of lactic and acetic acid molar ratio, which defines the fermentation quotient, must tend to very low values in order to provide the better contribution. All the produced kneads, with the exception of n. 3 combination, displayed an optimal fermentation quotient. Cell density of produced kneads after 12 h of fermentation is from 9,1 to 9,47 Log10 ufc/g of knead. In order to estimate the contribution that the use of natural yeast can give from a nutritional point of view as mineral bioavailability in the bread, the kneads obtained with reported five combinations have been characterised for phytase activity. In Table 4, phytase activity values of the kneads fermented for 12 h at 300C with the formulations of selected lactic bacteria are reported, expressed as absorbance at 700nm. Table 4

°Control 3: knead without bacterial inoculum yeasted for 2 h at 300C with 0.25 % brewer's yeast.. With the exception of 1 formulation, all the others (in particular 2 and 4 combinations) displayed phytase activity values approximately 30 times higher than in the control knead. In Figure 5 total concentration of free amino acids is reported, which for the 5 formulations of "natural yeast" is from 726.54 to 2415.97 mg/kg of knead. The concentration for control knead fermented with brewer's yeast was 420.07 (mg/kg). Fermentation for prolonged time (24 h) with 2 formulation resulted in doubling the concentration of free amino acids obtained after 12 h of incubation, indicating the possibility to increase the nutritional value and the digestibility of "natural yeast" fermented bread. The amino acid profile of the knead obtained with n. 2 combination, is remarkable for the production of Arg (178.38 mg/kg), Leu (134.09 mg/kg), GIu (82.45 mg/kg) and Pro (87.30 mg/kg) amino acids (Figure 6). (5) Production of gluten-free bread
The various formulations of "natural yeast" based on selected lactic bacteria were used for the gluten-free bread production according to biotechnological protocol reported in Figure 8. The two proposed alternatives correspond to different technological solutions. The use of fresh "natural yeast" as starter for further fermentation process (2 h at 3O0C) represents a traditional technology, not expensive and requiring daily "refresh" of natural yeast". A variant to the use of "natural yeast" as such can be the freezing thereof in order allow a more extended conservation and successive use after reactivation. Drying, of "natural yeast" and direct use thereof as ingredient allow easy conservation although not being active in the final fermentation period (2 h at 30°C). As to the use of brewer's yeast as yeasting agent, the use of 30 % fresh "natural yeast" allow an about 10-30 times higher phytase activity to be obtained during fermentation process, resulting in increase of about 21 and 48 % of the content of bioavailable Ca2+ and Zn2+; respectively, and the content of free amino acids is increased by about 10 times. Based on the percentage use of "natural yeast", to be varied according to desired characteristics, above all sensory ones, increments above reported are susceptible to variation. Also the use of frozen "natural yeast", after reactivation, displays same performances of fresh one. All the breads obtained with the different formulations of "natural yeast" based on selected lactic bacteria are characterised by similar or slightly better values of specific volume and hardness in comparison to control bread produced only with brewer's yeast. The produced breads, have been subjected to sensory analysis. The sensory parameters evaluated were: elasticity, colour, aroma acid, acid taste, sweetness, dryness and aroma. Every parameter was evaluated according an increasing intensity rating in value range from 0 to 100. For a qualitative evaluation of the sensory profile of each bread, obtained data have been treated by means of statistical analysis of main components (PCA). Two main components reported in Figure 9 explained 73 % of sample total variance. Horizontal axis (Factor 1) indicates the distribution of bread typology, as a function of whole sensory evaluation, vertical axis (Factor 2) expresses bread distribution as a function of each considered sensory parameter. As it apparent from bread distribution on plan defined from the two main components (Figure 9a), it is deduced that the bread typologies, produced using fresh "natural yeast" displayed quite similar sensory results. From Figure 9b it is clearly apparent that the sensory typical and appreciated characteristics of aroma, taste and colour are distributed in the plan part wherein breads produced with "natural yeast" are present, confirming the role and contribution of "natural yeast" in terms of aroma and taste. Finally bread produced with 2 formulation, produced on industrial scale, packaged in modified atmosphere (40% N2 and 60 % CO2) and subjected to conservation for 6 months. During the entire conservation period microbial contamination phenomena (mildewing and "sticky" bread) without the addition of conservative chemical compounds (e.g., Ca-propionate) were not observed.
