Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a stable liquid leaven composition which contains a bread flavor improvement composition (for instance sourdough or sponge based composition), an active yeast and a bread improver composition. Stable liquid compositions according to the invention are obtained when the residual sugar content is kept low, preferably below 0.5% w/w on the liquid composition and/or when severe drops in pH are prevented. The present invention further relates to liquid leaven compositions obtained as such and to their use in for instance bakery products like bread, snacks and pizzas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ingredient formulations that comprise a blend of amino acids comprising at least one of the amino acids Leucine, Valine, Iso-leucine and/or Phenylalanine, an preferably at least two or three thereof to enhance flavor metabolism of yeast and/or bacteria in long fermentation systems and to their use in for instance winery or brew systems, pre-dough systems (such as sponge and dough) or sourdough systems (fresh or dried) and/or in raw materials used in bakery such as flour, malt extract, wheat germs or other germs, a fermentable carbon source, bran or malt. The role of these ingredient formulations is to improve rheological properties and/or to enhance the flavor profile. The amino acid blend of the invention can be used to intensify and/or to diversify flavors in a fermentation system. Possibly other flavor enhancers and/or yeast can be added.
