Vitamins and Antioxidants

Another German study that was published in 2002 by the “Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry”,stated that use of conventional sourdough starter that contains rye flour used in pumpernickel bread produces antioxidants in the process of bread baking. After analysing the breads crust, crumb and flour for antioxidant content and other activity, the research found that the process of baking the pumpernickel bread produced a novel antioxidant, calledpronyl-lysine, which was eight times more abundant in the crust than in the crumb. This compound was not present in the original flour. Hence, the dark crust of pumpernickel bread is a rich source of avariety of vitamins and antioxidant.
