OPTIMISATION OF IMPORTANT PROCESSING CONDITIONS FOR RICE BRAN SOURDOUGH FERMENTATION USING LACTOBACILLUS PLANTARUM
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The potentials of rice bran sourdough in bread making are recently gaining popularity. However, there is no information on the influence of processing conditions on the quality attributes of rice bran sourdough. To inves- tigate the influence of fermentation time and temperature on the levels of acidity (pH and TTA) in rice bran sour- dough fermented with L. plantarum, we applied response surface methodology (RSM). Furthermore, we studied the effect of different fermentation time and temperature on the total phenolic and volatile compounds in the sourdough. GC/MS measurements for the evolution of aroma volatile compounds (VOCs) in the rice bran sourdoughs were conducted. The higher and longer the fermentation temperature and time, the higher the acidity levels in the sour- doughs. Fermentation temperature and time do not have a significant effect on the total phenolic sourdough con- tents. Forty-seven VOCs were detected in the rice bran sourdoughs. The major VOCs were acetic acids, ethanol, 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol, Hexadecanoic acid, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-ethanediyl ester, acetoin, and 2-methoxy-Phe- nol. The sourdough fermented at 35°C for 13 ho contained the largest number (27) of aroma compounds and had the highest acidity. These fermentation conditions are close to the optimal parameters (temperature – 33°C, duration – 12.5 hours), obtained as a result of applying RSM for rice bran fermentation. Thus, high quality bran sourdough can be produced at the temperature of 33°C for 12.5 hours. The results of this study will be useful to produce a quality rice bran sourdough bread with appealing aroma and a long shelf-life.

Rice bran is a by-product of rice milling industries, grossly underutilised in rice-producing countries. Al- though, rice bran is rich in dietary fibre, amino acids, minerals, and other bioactive compounds, which  can have a beneficial effect on human health [1], it is com- monly used as a livestock feed as opposed to human food formulation. This is because the use of bran in food industries, especially in baked goods, poses several tech- nological problems, such as weakening of wheat dough structure and of baking quality, the decrease in bread volume and elasticity of bread crumb [2]. Bio-proces- sing technologies, such as enzymatic and fermentation processes have received more attention recently due to their potential to improve nutritional and technological

 

functionality of bran [3]. These processes have been em- ployed for bran sourdough production [4–6].

Sourdough is used as a starter for bread making, be- cause of its ability to improve bread quality [7, 8]. Tra- ditionally, bread volume, crumb texture, flavour, and shelf-life of bread are enhanced using sourdough fer- mentation [2, 9, 10]. This is because baked products with sourdough are better protected from bacterial and mould spoilage, and have extended shelf-life [11, 12]. However, the preservative effect of sourdough depends on the bac- teria used for the dough fermentation. Previous studies have reported an extended shelf life for sourdough bread produced with lactic acid bacteria (LAB), fermented rice bran sourdough [13, 14].

The flavour of baked foods, especially bread, is in-

fluenced by the recipe, processing condition, and vola-

tile organic compounds produced by a starter culture. The generation of odorants in sourdough occurs due to enzymatic and microbial processes during sourdough fermentation [15], for example, LAB is responsible for liberation of aroma precursors and acidification in sour- dough [7].

Fermentation temperature and time are important processing factors to be considered in producing a quali- ty sourdough. The extent of metabolic performances of microorganisms in sourdough depends directly on the fermentation time, while fermentation temperature plays an important role in the stability of sourdough ecosystem [16, 17]. There have been studies on the effect of pro- cessing conditions and starter cultures on the formation of volatile compounds in wheat sourdoughs [18]. Volatile

li in rye sourdough have also been reported [7]. There

is little information on the optimisation of fermentation conditions for rice bran sourdough production, and no information on volatile compounds in LAB fermented rice bran sourdough.

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a multiva- riate technique used for an analytical optimisation [19]. In recent years, RSM has been used to optimise fermen- tation conditions for cereal bran. Application of RSM for optimisation of rice bran fermentation conditions for pro- tein concentrate extraction, using baker’s yeast, has been studied [20]. RSM was also applied to study fermentation effects on the levels of phytochemicals in rye bran [5].

The use of rice bran sourdough is gaining populari- ty in bread making [13, 14, 21]. It is therefore important to establish optimum fermentation temperature and time for quality rice bran sourdough preparation. Further- more, bread quality mostly depends on taste and aroma. Apart from aroma development during baking, aroma precursors are also produced during fermentation pro- cess. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in fermented sourdough contribute to bread flavour [22] and are pro- duced from enzymatic, or autoxidation of flour lipids, microbial, yeast metabolism, and Maillard reaction [15]. However, publications about VOCs in sourdough are mostly about wheat, wheat germ, buckwheat, rye, rice, maize, Kefir or chestnut-flour sourdough using either GC-MS, or HRGC-MS [15].

 

thyl-2-pentanol were purchased from  Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, USA). All other chemicals and reagents were of analytical grade.

Optimisation of rice bran fermentation condi- tions. We used RSM to investigate the combined effects of significant variables (fermentation temperature and time) in the production of rice bran sourdough. The ado- pted experimental design was a central composite design (CCD). The minimum and maximum independent vari- able levels were selected on the basis of previous sour- dough studies [18, 5]. The CCD was divided into three blocks to calculate the reproducibility of the method. The CCD’s use required 13 runs for each block and the total of 39 runs for the whole design. Table 1 shows the experimental runs  in  the  order  they  were  performed. The dependent/response variables for the rice bran sour- dough quality were pH and total titratable acidity (TTA). The independent variable range was 20–35°C of fermen- tation temperature and 6–20 hours of fermentation time. For reproducibility, the  experiments  were  carried  out in triplicate. For each of the response variable, a model summary, and a lack of fit test were constructed for li- near, square, interaction and quadratic models. We in- vestigated the behaviour of the response surface for the

response function (Yp, predicted response) using a re- gression polynomial equation. The generalised polyno- mial mode to predict the response variable was:

ctives of this study were to optimise important fer- mentation factors (temperature and time) for rice bran sourdough production using RSM and to determine the effect of fermentation conditions on pH, titratable acidi- ty (TTA), and total phenolics in L. plantarum fermented rice bran sourdough. For the first time, VOCs profile of rice bran sourdough samples fermented at different tem- perature and time was also identified and quantified by SPME-GC/MS analysis.

most accurate model was chosen based on a number of

significant terms (p < 0.05), percentage of regression, the lack of fit test, and P-value for a regression model. A three-dimensional response surface plot was generated for each response variable. The reliability of the model was evaluated from the regression of the model (R2) and predictive power of the model (Q2). Generally, for a good fi model R2 should be ≥ 0.8 [24], however, the models with R2 and Q2 values of  ≥ 0.9 are considered excellent.

Optimal processing conditions to determine rice bran sourdough production were calculated by per- forming a multiple response method called desirabili- ty. The desires and priorities for each of the variables

were incorporated into the optimisation method. pH and

Preparation of rice bran sourdough. Rice bran sourdough was prepared according to [21]. 100g of rice bran were mixed with 130 g of distilled deionised water and 15 ml of L. Plantarum suspension (109  CFU/ml) in a sterilised beaker. Then the mixture was covered with aluminium foil and allowed to ferment in a fermenting box (Model Fx-11, Good and Well, SDN BHD, Malaysia) to produce sourdough. Fermentation temperature and time were in accordance with the experimental design of Table 1. The sourdough samples were frozen at –20°C until further analysis. Rice bran that was allowed to fer- ment naturally was used as a control.

pH and total titratable acidity (TTA) of rice bran sourdough. pH and TTA were measured as described by [25]. Frozen rice bran sourdough samples were thawed overnight in a refrigerator at 4°C. 10 g of the thawed sourdough were mixed with 100 ml of distilled water to obtain a suspension. The pH value of the sus- pension was measured by using a pH meter. TTA was determined by titrating the suspension against 0.1M NaOH to a final pH value of 8.5. TTA was expressed as the amount of NaOH (ml) used for titration and as a mean value of three replicates.

Total phenolic compound (TPC) analysis. A modified method of [28] was used for a total pheno- lic compound determination. 200 mg of the rice bran sourdough  fermented  with  L.  plantarum  at   diffe- rent temperatures and time were extracted with 4 ml of 70% aqueous acetone by shaking in a rotary shaker (260 rpm, 2 hours) at room temperature. The su- pernatant  liquid  was  collected   after   centrifu- gation (Hereaus Instruments D867 bench top centrifuge, Germany) at 3,000 g for 10 min. 200 µl of the supernatant were added to 1.5 ml of freshly pre- pared Folin Ciocalteu reagent (1:10 v/v with water). After 5 min equilibration, 1.5 ml of the sodium carbo- nate (60 g/l) solution was added to the mixture. The mixture   was   incubated   at   room   temperature   for

90  min.  The  absorbance  of  the  mixture  was  read  at 725 nm using 70% aqueous acetone as blank. The gal-

titratable acidity (TTA) were chosen as the two most important quality parameters in this study, because sourdough quality depended mainly on them [25]. Since a rice bran falls within a high extraction rate category with 95% extraction rate, the desired pH target was in the range of 3.5 to 4.5 [26], while the desired TTA was in the range of 16 to 22 ml NaOH [26, 27].

Microbial strain and preparation of sourdough culture. Lactobacillus plantarum media were prepared according to a manufacturer’s instruction and sterilised by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 min. L. plantarum was the culture of De Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth at 37°C for 72 hours at the atmosphere of 5% CO . 1 ml of cultured MRS broth was mixed with 9 ml of sterile peptone water 0.1% (v/v) and diluted in ten-folds using

serial dilution (102  to 1010). A serial suspension (0.1 ml)

 

lic acid calibration curve (0 to 1,000 µg/ml) was plotted, and TPC was expressed as micrograms (µg) of gallic acid equivalents (GAE) per gram of rice bran sourdough. Characterisation of volatile compounds (VOCs) in rice bran sourdough. Volatile acids are generally pro- duced, when cereals are fermented by lactic acid bacte- ria, such as L. plantarum. Volatile acids of cereal dough, such as rye dough and baked product (bread), are repor- ted to be acetic and lactic acids. These acids are respon-

sible for an acidic bread flavor [29].

Headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) analysis. The volatile fraction of rice bran sourdough samples was analysed by headspace sam- pling using solid phase microextraction (SPME) method described by [30], with some modifications. The VOCs of rice bran sourdoughs fermented with L. plantarum at different temperature and time (Table 2) were identified and quantified. 2 g of a sourdough sample fermented at

 

 

 

different temperature and time (Table 2, sample A–J) were placed in a 20 ml headspace vial. 2 ml of a dis- tilled deionised water and 5 µl of 4-methyl-2-pentanol (internal standard, 100 mg/l) were added to the head- space vial. The vial was placed in a thermostatic block on a stirrer at 60°C, then the fibre was inserted and maintained in the sample head space for 30 min, after which it was removed and immediately inserted into the GC/MS injector port for the desorption of compounds. A silica fibre coated with 85-µm of Carboxen–polydimet- hylsiloxane (Carboxen/PDMS) was used for the analy- ses. The fibre was conditioned prior to its first use. The internal standard (4-methyl-2-pentanol) was used for all analyses to monitor the SPME extraction and fibre per- formance during the analysis, as well as for semi-quanti- tative analysis of VOCs.

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis and VOCs identification. The method described by [31] and [30] was adopted for the GC/MS analysis. The VOCs of the  sourdough  sam- ples  were  determined  with  a  gas  chromatograph  and a mass spectrometer equipped with a 30 m, 0.25 mm ID, film thickness of 0.25 µm, and capillary column (TG-WAXMS, Thermo Scientific, USA). The gas car- rier was helium with a flow of 1.5 ml/min. SPME injec- tions were splitless (straight glass line, 0.75 mm ID) at 240°C for 20 min (during which time thermal desorp- tion of analytes from the fibre occurred). The oven para- meters were as follows: the initial temperature was 40°C held for 3 min, followed by an increase to 240°C at a rate of 5°C /min, then held for 10 min. A mass spectrometer was operated in a scan mode from m/z 33–300 (2 s/scan) at an ionisation potential of 70 eV.

Identification of volatile compounds was achieved by comparing their mass spectra with the reference mass spectra library (NIST, version 2.0) and by matching the retention indices (RI) calculated according to the equa-

tion of [32], based on a series of alkanes, ranging from

 

sponse factor. Blank of the fibre and blank of the empty vial were conducted after every 10 analyses. All the analyses were performed in replicates.

Statistical analysis. The experimental design and optimisation procedure were performed using Minitab® version 16.0 software (Pennsylvania, USA). The data obtained were subjected to one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine regression coefficients and a statistical significance of model terms to fit the mathe- matical models to the experimental data. Significant dif- ferences in the total phenolic compounds were compared by means of Duncan’s multiple comparison tests at 95% confidence level (p0.05). The data were reported as mean values of replicate analyses.

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Influence of fermentation conditions on pH, and titratable acidity (TTA). The pH and TTA of the rice bran before fermentation (control) was 6.11 and 11.89, respectively (the results are not shown). The acidity le- vels (pH and TTA) of the rice bran sourdough fermented at different times and temperatures  are  presented  in Fig. 1. The pH of the sourdough decreases with increa- sing fermentation time and temperature, whereas the TTA values increase.

The  pH  of  the  rice  bran  sourdough  ranged  from

4.0 to 4.6, while the TTA ranged from 13.9 to 23.4 ml of 0.1M NaOH/10 g sourdough (Fig. 1). Fermentation time was reported to be the most important parameter of wheat sourdough acidity, fermented with a single or combined starter of lactobacilli or yeast [18]. In con- trary, the findings of this study showed that fermentation temperature and time  were the most  influential para- meters of L. plantarum fermented rice bran sourdough acidity. The most acidic rice bran sourdough was the sample, fermented at 35°C for 13 hours, while the least acidic sourdough was the sample, fermented at 20°C for

Plantarum, and the optimum time for LAB activity (> 12 hours), L. plan- tarum would produce more lactic acid, which will lead to a reduction in pH, increased TTA, and thus, higher acidity in the sourdough. Similar observations were also reported in previous studies [18, 22, 15].

 

Optimisation and validation process. RSM was used  to  develop  a  prediction  model  for  optimising

L. plantarum fermentation conditions for rice bran sour- dough production. The independent and dependent vari- ables were analysed to obtain a regression equation, that could predict response (pH and TTA) within the given range. The developed mathematical models for the rice bran sourdough are presented in Table 3. High values of R2 (the fit of the model to the experimental data) and Q2 (predictive power of the model) were obtained in the acidity model. The obtained R2 values  (0.88)  indicate that 88% of the variation can be explained by the fit- ted model (Table 3). Large Q2 values (> 0.9) imply that the model has a good predictive ability with a small prediction error. A significant linear effect of time and temperature was observed in pH values of the rice bran sourdoughs. The latter  indicates that the  influence of fermentation time on pH values was dependent on fer- mentation temperature. And both independent  factors had quadratic effect on TTA values (Table 3). p-values for both models significantly affected the acidity lev- els with the p-value lower than 0.05, however, the p-va- lue (0.000) for the reduced quadratic model of TTA was more significant than that of the pH linear model (p-va- lue = 0.017). These results agreed with the results of the previous studies of L. plantarum fermented wheat sour- doughs [18, 33].

e

As shown in Fig. 2 and 3, the modelling of pH va- lues and TTA produced different surface response plots for fermentation of rice bran sourdough at different fer- mentation time and temperature. In Fig.2 fermentation temperature and time displayed a linear effect on the pH, where the sourdough pH decreased with the increase of fermentation temperature and time. This was evident in the regression equation (Table 3), where fermentation temperature and time had a negative coefficient, which indicated a decrease in the response. In Fig. 3 fermenta- tion temperature showed a significant effect on the TTA. The TTA of the sourdough increased with the increase of fermentation temperature, as evidenced in the regres- sion equation (Table 3), where the multiplying effect of fermentation temperature (T 2) had a positive coefficient. This is also confirmed by the experimental analysis, where sourdough sample fermented at the highest tem- perature (35°C) had the highest TTA value (Fig. 1).

The levels of the independent variables generated a targeted range of pH (4.0 to 4.6) and TTA (14–23 ml of 0.1M NaOH/10g) for the rice bran sourdough (Fig. 1). The optimum pH for the sourdough was obtained in 19.5 hours at 34.8°C while, the optimum TTA value was obtained in

10.65 hours at 32.6°C. Based on the multiple optimisation of the fermentation of rice bran sourdough, the optimum pH value of 4.3 and TTA value of 19.5 ml of 0.1M NaOH were obtained, when the sourdough was fermented  at 33°C for 12.5 hours.

A two-sample t-test was conducted to test the ad- equacy of the final reduced models by comparing the experimental values with predicted values. The data ob- tained showed that there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the experimental and predicted va- lues (Table 4). This observation showed the agreement between the two values, and thus, the adequacy of the response surface equations fitted by RSM was verified.

The influence of fermentation parameters on to- tal phenolic compounds. Since sourdough can im- prove phytochemicals in baked goods, we investigated the effect of fermentation conditions on the level of to- tal phenolic compounds (TPC) in rice bran sourdough. The result is presented in Table 5. The highest amount of TPC (484.9 µg GAE/g) was detected in sourdough fermented at the high temperature (32.8°C) for a long time (17.95 hours). The least TPC (410.2 µg GAE/g) was found in rice bran sourdough that was fermented at a low temperature (22.2°C) for 8.05 hours. Although, the TPC values of the sourdoughs increased with the rise

The trend of the TPC con- tents of the rice bran sourdoughs is in congruent with the

 

nol, a primary product of fermentation, followed by 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol. 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol (spicy) is an aromatic substance used as a flavouring agent [15, 36]. Ethanol production increased with the rise of fermentation temperature and time (Table  6). This could be because the longer fermentation time is enough for the microbial strain to degrade simple su- gars in the sourdough  into  carbon-dioxide  and  etha- nol [37]. Heterofermentative LAB has been reported to produce a high amount of ethanol and carbon-dioxide during rye sourdough fermentation [7], thus, L. planta- rum (a facultatively heterofermentative LAB) [38] was

 

previous findings on rye bran [5]. A higher TPC value

 

probably responsible for increased ethanol and CO2

 

pro-

 

obtained at a higher fermentation temperature and time

could be due to the fermentation in liberating and syn- thesising bioactive compounds, such as phenolic com- pounds in cereal brans [5, 34, 35].

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of rice bran sourdough. The list of the volatile compounds detected in rice bran sourdough fermented at different tempera- ture and time is presented in Table 6. It includes only those detected in more than one sample. Volatile analy- sis of the ten (10) rice bran sourdough samples (Table 2, A-J) showed the presence of 47 compounds. They were grouped into different chemical classes as esters (15), alcohols (7), acids (6), alkanes (5), pyridine (1), siloxane

derivatives (3), aldehydes (2), phenol (1), furan (1), aro-

matic hydrocarbon (1), ketose (1), ketone (1), nitriles (1), and others (2). The VOCs from the rice bran sourdough could be generated from enzymatic and microbial pro- cesses during sourdough fermentation (e.g., acids, alco- hol, esters, ketones, and aldehydes), lipid oxidation (e.g., aldehydes, and ketones), and Maillard and caramelisation reactions (e.g., furans, aldehydes, ketones, and pyridines), or from other compounds present in the flour [15].

Rice bran sourdough fermented at a higher tempera- ture (> 27°C) for a longer time (> 8 hours) produced the largest number of VOCs (Table 6). Furthermore, the amount of volatile compounds released from L. plantarum

duction during rice bran sourdough fermentation. Etha-

nol has been cited as a specific volatile compound in a wheat sourdough bread [15]. The highest amount of eth- anol and 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol was detected in sour- dough fermented at 35°C for 13h (sample I). This is an indication that rice bran sourdough can be a good alter- native to wheat sourdough for bread production.

Estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17á-ol, 2,3-Butanediol, 3-Eth- yl-2-pentanol, 2-methyl-1-Hexadecanol, and 1-Ni- tro-2-acetamido-1,2-dideoxy-d-glucitol were other alcohols detected in the rice bran sourdoughs. Es- tra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17á-ol    was    present    in    all    the

L. plantarum fermented sourdough, but not found in the naturally fermented rice-bran sourdough (Table 6). This indicates that Estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17á-ol is one of the main volatile compounds specific in L. plantarum fer- mented rice bran sourdoughs. This compound was also reported to be one of the main volatile compounds in moringa leave extract [40].

The presence of esters in sourdough and bread is an indicator of pleasant fruity aromas [39]. Esters in rice bran sourdough may be derived from products of free fatty acids reaction with some alcohols [41]. Hexadeca- noic acid, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-ethanediyl ester, was the most abundant ester in rice bran sourdough, and its highest quantity was detected in the sample fermented at 35°C for 13 hours (I). Higher quantities of this es- ter were also found in sample F and G, which were fer- mented for more than 17 hours, indicating that the longer fermentation time favours the formation of the esters. According to the literature, the LAB fermentation re-

quires more than 12 hours to produce a sufficient amount

in sample I, compared to sample F and G, could be, be-

cause sample I was fermented at 35°C for 13 hours, that was close to the optimum fermentation conditions (33°C for 12.5 hours) for rice bran sourdough production. Other esters found in the sourdough were 9-Octadecenoic acid, (2-phenyl-1,3-ioxolan-4-y l) methyl ester, Methoxyacetic acid, 3-tridecyl ester, and Pentanoic acid, 4-methyl- ethyl ester. These esters were also detected at the rela- tively high amount in the sourdoughs. 9-Octadecenoic acid, (2-phenyl-1,3-ioxolan-4-y l) methyl ester, was also reported in buckwheat sprout [42].

Seven (7) esters were detected in two (2) samples

(H and I) fermented at a high temperature for a short

 

 

 

time (32.8°C, 8 hours; sample H) and a longer time (35°C, 13 hours; sample I). Although, rice bran sour- dough fermented at the lowest temperature for a short time (20°C, 8 h; sample A) had the largest number of esters (8); the quantity of Hexadecanoic acid, 1-(hy- droxymethyl)-1,2-ethanediyl ester, was the least in this sample. This indicates that high fermentation tempera- ture and a long time favour the production of a large amount of esters in sourdough. However, there was vari- ation in the type and quantity of esters present in all the rice bran sourdough samples.

A long fermentation time and a  high  tempera- ture also favour the production of acids  in  the  rice bran sourdoughs (Table 6). This observation is in conformity with the result  of  the  sourdough  acid- ity (Fig. 1), where sourdough sample fermented  at 35°C for 13 hours had the highest acidity level. Sour- dough acids have been reported to serve as a bio-pre- servative [39]. This is probably why L. plantarum fermented rice bran sourdough taftoon bread had a higher anti-mould activity than the doughs fermented by L. Casei, and L. acidophilus [13]. Rice bran sour- dough fermented with L. plantarum at a higher tem- perature (> 32°C) for a longer time (> 12 h) (G and I) had the  largest  number  of  volatile  acids.  Thus,  these sourdoughs can extend a bread shelf-life and improve its flavour [43, 44].

Lactic and acetic acids are important for the flavour and taste of sourdough bread [45]. Acetic acid is the most common volatile acids reported to be present in sourdoughs [46, 47]. This acid was detected in a large quantity (143 µg/kg) in rice bran sourdough fermented at 35°C for 13 hours (I), but not detected in the sourdough samples fermented at < 27°C for a short or long time. Even though LAB was used for sourdough fermentation, lactic acid was not detected in any of the rice bran sour- dough samples.

Low levels of ketone were detected in the nat- urally    fermented    sourdough,    compared    to    the

L. plantarum fermented sourdough. The presence of ke- tone (acetoin) in the sourdough could be due to a long fermentation period. As shown in Table 6, the longer the fermentation time, the higher the amount of acetoin in the sourdoughs. Mild heating of flour for a long period under oxidising conditions has been reported to induce lipid peroxidation, consequently resulting in a lipid deg- radation to aldehydes and ketones [31]. The sourdough sample fermented at 32.8°C for 17:95 hours (G) had the higher acetoin value (146 µg/kg), than the sourdough fermented at 35°C for 13 hours (I). Acetoin was also reported to be present in a whole wheat sourdough [39] and chestnut-flour-based-sourdoughs [30]. Since aceto- in is characterised with a butter, or popcorn like aroma [46, 47], the presence of acetoin in rice bran sourdough produced by fermentation of rice bran at a high tempera- ture for a long time is an indicator, that the sourdough will add a special good flavour to bread, and retain bread freshness for a long time. The obtained results confirm the facts already known in the scientific literature [39].

Aldehydes are related to oxidative status of foods,

characterised as off-odours in bread [46, 47]. The pres-

 

ence of aldehydes (hexanal and 3-benzyloxy-2-flu- oro-4-methoxy- Benzaldehyde) in the rice bran sourdoughs could be due to the activities of lipid hydro- lysing enzymes, such as lipases, and peroxidases pre- sent in bran [48]. The detection of linear chain aldehyde (hexanal) could be due to degradative oxidation of un- saturated fatty acids, such as oleic, linoleic, and linole- nic acids [31], in which rice bran is rich [1]. Although the concentration of aldehydes in all the samples was low, a relatively high concentration of hexanal in samples F, G, I, and J, compared to other samples, could be due to the susceptibility of the samples to oxidative rancidity. Non detection of hexanal in samples A, B, and C could pro- bably be explained by the activities of lipase, reduced at the temperature of 20–22.2°C. The storage of bran at a low temperature has been reported to hinder the activity of lipases [49].

Phenol (2-methoxy-Phenol) is one of the compounds responsible for the aroma of buckwheat [50]. It was present in all the sourdoughs, except those fermented at a low temperature (20–27.5°C) for a short and a long time (6–13 h) (A, C, and D). 2-methoxy-Phenol is formed during the thermal degradation of lignin under the py- rolysis condition or thermal degradation of barks [51]. This cannot be the case of this study, since the rice bran, or sourdough was not subjected to a high temperature. However, the contamination of rice bran during drying or dehusking of rice paddy could be responsible for the presence of the compound in the sourdoughs.

Furan (2-pentyl- Furan), characterised with a fruity odour [15], was detected only in the samples fermented at a low temperature for a long time (B and C). Although formation of heterocyclic compounds, such as furans were attributed to the thermal degradation and rear- rangement of carbohydrate through Maillard  reaction [31, 52 ], this may not be the case of this study. Since the headspace incubation temperature was 60oC, and Maillard reaction products are produced at a temperature between 80 to 120°C [42, 53 ]. The presence of 2-pen- tyl-Furan in rye sourdough and in wheat bread without sourdough has been reported [7, 47, 54]. 6-methyl-Octa- decane was the only alkane found in all the sourdough samples, even though in a varying concentration. All other alkanes vary from one sample to another in terms of their detection and quantity. Aromatic hydrocarbon (toluene), ketose (l-Gala-l-ido-octose), and nitrile (Phe- nyl-α-D-glucoside) were not detected in a naturally fer- mented sample, but were detected at low concentrations in less than six (6) L. plantarum fermented sourdoughs. Nitrile was found in low amount in samples A, B, F, and H, but not detected in other sourdough samples, where- as pyridine (piperazine) was not found in samples A, B, C, and E, but was detected in other sourdoughs. Most of the siloxane derivatives found in the sourdough were detected in the samples fermented at a low temperature (A, B, C, and D), except for Cycloheptasiloxanetetra- decamethyl, which was found in a low concentration in sample I. The 3 siloxane derivatives found in the rice bran sourdoughs are among the 4 main volatile com- pounds found in jasmine flower [55]. l-Gala-l-ido-octose

was found only in two samples (F and G), while 2-pro-

penylidene-Cyclobutene was detected in all the sour- dough samples, except sample B. Hydrazinecarboxamide was found in a high concentration in all the sourdoughs.

Generally, it was observed that rice bran sourdough samples fermentation at the higher temperature and time had the higher concentration of 4-vinyl-2-Methoxyphe- nol, ethanol, 2-methoxy- Phenol, acetoin, and piperazine. However, an opposite trend was observed in the case of siloxane derivatives and aldehydes, where there was low or no detection of the compounds, as fermentation temperature and time increased (Table 6). Meanwhile, fluctuating levels of alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbon, ni- trile, 2-propenylidene-cyclobutene, esters, and alcohols (apart from 4-vinyl-2-Methoxyphenol, and ethanol) were detected in the rice bran sourdoughs. These observa- tions were in agreement with the findings of [39], who reported the reduction in percent peak area of aldehydes and fluctuating levels of alcohols, esters, and acids in a whole wheat sourdough fermented for a long time.

According to the results of this study, sourdough fermented at 35°C for 13 hours (sample I) contained the largest amount (27) of aroma compounds, compared to other L. plantarum fermented sourdough, and eight (8) compounds more than the naturally fermented sour- dough (sample J). Although sample I and sample J were fermented at the same temperature and time (35°C for 13 hours), the following VOCs were found in sample I: estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17á-ol, 2-methyl-1-Hexadecanol, 3-hydroxy-dodecanoic acid, 7-methyl-z-tetradecen-1-ol acetate, methoxyaceticacid 2-tetradecyl ester, methoxy- acetic acid 2-tridecyl ester,  cycloheptasiloxanetetra- decamethyl, and toluene. However, these VOCs were not detected in the naturally fermented sourdough (J).

Acetic acid and ethanol are among the most cited volatile organic compounds found in bread crust [47], crumb [46], and wheat bread without sourdough [15] and with sourdough [39]. Sample I had the highest concen- tration of acetic acids (143 µg/kg), ethanol (539 µg/kg), 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol (463 µg/kg), Hexadecanoic acid, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-ethanediyl ester (230 µg/kg), and 2-methoxy- Phenol (112 µg/kg) compared to all oth- er sourdough samples. Sample I is also high in the aro- ma compound acetoin (140 µg/kg). The higher VOCs in sample I could be due to the fermentation conditions (33°C, 13 h), which are close to the optimum fermenta- tion conditions for rice bran sourdough production.These characteristics of sample I indicate that the sourdough

 

will produce bread with high consumer acceptability, extended freshness, and shelf-life.

 

CONCLUSION

The results of this study demonstrate that fermen- tation temperature and time have a significant effect on the quality parameters of rice bran sourdough. Acidity, total phenolic, and volatile compounds of rice bran sour- dough increased, as fermentation temperature and time increased.  The  optimum  fermentation  conditions  for

L. plantarum fermented rice bran sourdough were achieved at 33°C for 12.5 hours. These conditions re- sulted in pH value of 4.3 and TTA value of 19.5 ml of 0.1M NaOH, which was not significantly different from the RSM predicted pH (4.2), and TTA (19.1ml of 0.1M NaOH) values. Fermentation temperature and time do not have a significant effect on the total phenolic con- tent of the sourdough. Forty-seven (47) VOCs were de- tected in the rice bran sourdoughs. As fermentation temperature and time increased, the concentration of ethanol, phenols, ketone, pyridine, and acids increased in the rice bran sourdoughs, while aldehydes and si- loxane derivatives levels decreased. The major volatile compounds in the sourdough were acetic acids, ethanol, 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol, Hexadecanoic acid, 1-(hy- droxymethyl)-1,2-ethanediyl ester, acetoin, and 2-me- thoxy-Phenol. There were striking differences between the volatile composition of L. plantarum fermented rice bransourdoughsandthenaturallyfermentedsourdough.Diffe- rences  also  existed  in  the  sourdough  fermented  with

L. plantarum at a high temperature and time and those fermented at a low temperature and  time.  Former had the higher concentration of volatile aroma com- pounds than the latter. The  information  provided  in this study can be used in bakery industry for produ- cing quality shelf-stable rice bran sourdough bread with attractive aromas.
