This study include the effect of different methods of fermentation on phytic acid content
in bread made from wheat flour (80% extraction),during the study of physicochemical tests for flour
such as, moistuer, protein, fat, ash, charbohydrate, pH, wet gluten, dry gluten and color , the result
was 12.7%, 12.9%, 0.85%,73.7%,6.3,33%,11% and 8.5 respectively,and the results showed that of
phytic acid content in flour was 0.71%, and the significantly reduction between treatments the
laboratory bread (Loaf) on the one hand and the standard treatment of the other hand at significant
level 0.05 ≥ P, as observed phytic acid content decreased 86% in bread made from flour fermented by
adding 10% sourdough fermented with lactic acid bacteria(Lactobacillus Plantarum) and yeast
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae), also decreased 82% in bread made from flour fermented by adding 10%
sourdough fermented with lactic acid bacteria. Also, the results showed decreased of phytic acid 50%
in bread made from flour fermented by adding 10% sourdough fermented with yeast which no have
significant difference with the treatment of bread made from flour fermented with yeast, the
degradation in which 46% ,either in the treatment of bread made from flour fermented chemically by
adding sodium bicarbonate (Baking Soda) has been observed of phytic acid not high reduce, the
degradation 25%, which significant difference for all treatments on the one hand and bread made
from standard treatment (flour and water ).Phyic acid was also influenced by pH, dough samples of
lower pH had a lower Phytic acid content because it have increase of phytase activity. |
