  1. a Triticum aestivum; b Triticum durum.
  2. *Cell density of lactic acid bacteria of the sourdough or baker’s yeast breads before the dough was subjected to baking, as estimated by plating on agar media at 30 or 37 °C for 48 h under anaerobiosis. Values are means ± standard deviation of three batches analysed in triplicate (n = 9). Values within a column with different superscript single and/or pairs letters are significantly different (P < 0.05).
