The interplay of sourdough microbiology and generated volatile compounds that define its sensory characteristics was studied. In order to detail the flavour generating potential of microorganisms, eight single-strain dough fermentations were studied, four of them never investigated before. Moreover, for the first time, both ex-novo and traditional wheat sourdoughs were investigated and compared to chemically acidified dough. HS-SPME-GC-MS was used to sample and analyse volatile compounds, some of which have never been detected before in sourdoughs. Alcohols, esters, carbonyl compounds, and acids mainly characterised the volatile profiles. Different sourdough microbiota resulted in different volatile profiles. PCA indicated that samples could be clustered according to their specific microbiota. Production of aroma compounds was strain-specific, confirming previous findings. This study can contribute to the management of desirable features and differentiate specialty products, as well as selecting new, suitable, sourdoughs after microbial screening.
