To increase the bioavailability of minerals, enzymatic degradation of phytate and its dephosphorylated isomers is needed. PHD thESIS 2012 The aims of the thesis were therefore: (i) to isolate and identify phytase active yeasts and lactic acid bacteria strains to be used in bread making to increase the content of bioavailable minerals in bread; Lina Nuobariene (ii) to purify and characterize the phytase isolated from the most prominent yeast strain for phytase production. The highest specific extracellular phytase activities were observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae L1.12 (10.6 U/1010 CFU), S. cerevisiae L6.06 (8.2 U/1010 CFU), Lactobacillus frumenti 2.1 (13 U/1010 CFU), and L. frumenti 2.5 (16 U/1010 CFU). Furthermore, Saccharomyces pastorianus, Candida humilis, and L. fru- menti have for the first time been recognized as phytase positive strains. Phytase purification resulted in 8.1-fold purification with a yield of 3.6% to a maximum specific activ- ity of 42.9% U/mg. The optimum pH and temperature were found to be 4.0 and 35°C, respectively.

Nowadays, consumption of whole-grain breads is gaining popularity across the world due to increasing awareness of its nutritional benefits. Whole grains contain wide range of nutrients, such as dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals. Despite that whole Lina Nuobariene grains contain 20-70% of the daily requirements of the minerals, their absorption in human gut are very low due to antinutritional phytic acid salt (phytate), and this may Copenhagen, 2012 July lead to mineral deficiencies. To increase the bioavailability of minerals, enzymatic degradation of phytate and its dephosphorylated isomers is needed. The main aim of this thesis was therefore to isolate and identify phytase active strains of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria to be used in bread making. The use of selected combination of yeast and lactic acid bacteria with high phytase activity could find use as starter cultures to improve mineral bioavailability in whole-grain bread fermented in short time as alternative to sourdough bread and/or yeast fermented bread. All experiments were carried out at conditions optimal for leavening of bread (30°C and pH 5.5). Another aim of the study was to isolate and identify phytase active yeasts and lactic acid bacteria from commercial sourdoughs. In addition, comparison between sourdoughs from different bakeries and countries on yeast strain distribution and their phytase activities was done.
