A sourdough for the industrial production of Colombo, a traditional Italian sweet-leavened baked good, was characterized in terms of microbiota composition, pH, a(w), carbohydrates, organic acids, and VOCs. pH of the ripened sourdough was low (3.55), and the content of acetic acid limited (0.77 g/kg). A small biodiversity, in terms of both LAB and yeasts, was observed. Culture dependent analyses identified two biotypes of Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis and a dominant yeast species, Torulaspora delbrueckii. Meta taxonomic analysis confirmed bacterial composition, whereas Candida humilis was the most represented yeast. The VOCs profile was strongly affected by bakers' yeast addition, resulting in higher amounts of acetaldehyde, acetoin, ethanol, and phenethyl alcohol. As a whole, a stable and abundant microbial community loosing competitiveness only after addition of S. cerevisiae was described. This robustness and simplicity can represent an advantage in terms of stable and easier propagation, allowing the production of more reproducible lots of Colomba. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
