Abstract
To develop novel fermentation strains for enhancing the texture and flavor of steamed bread, this study screened Weissella confusa GTA22 (WC) and Weissella koreensis QAY6 (WK) from five Weissella strains for single strain fermentation and co-fermentation experiments with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC). The results indicated that the fermentability of WK in dough reached approximately 81% of that of S. cerevisiae. Co-fermentation facilitated the production of organic acids, reduced the mobility of water molecules in dough, and made the protein network structure more ordered. In addition, the flavor (aroma and taste) score of steamed bread in WC + SC group was 23.65% higher than that of steamed bread in SC group, which was the most popular in sensory evaluation, and its overall acceptability was 8.05 points. The steamed bread of WK + SC group was the softest, with a specific volume of 2.64 ± 0.10 mL/g. Meanwhile, W. confusa GTA22 and W. koreensis QAY6 exhibit considerable potential as single strain fermentation agents for dough.
