This study examined the polyphenol composition and antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts from amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat and wheat, and evaluated how these properties were affected following two types of processing: sprouting and baking. The total phenol content amongst the seed extracts were significantly higher in buckwheat (323.4 mgGAE/100 g) and decreased in the following order: bu...

A traditional Greek sourdough, based on the fermentation of chickpea flour by an autochthonous culture, was evaluated as a wheat bread improver. The dominant indigenous microflora (Clostridium perfringens isolates) identified 16S rDNA analysis, and selected strain (C. CP8) employed to ferment obtain standardized starter culture (sourdough) for breadmaking. In accordance with toxin-typed identif...
