Faba bean Flour 30 63.6↓ ↓ Predicted glycemic index (eGI) in sourdough treatment (84.2) vs. flour treatment (91.4) and control (94.6) [56]
Sourdough/Flour 30 74.1↑
Amaranth: A. spinosus Flour 25, 50 ↑ Mineral content increased and ↑ increase of phytic acid content with the inclusion of amaranth flour in the bread. [17]
Amaranth: A. hypochondriacus Flour 25, 50
Quinoa Flour 5, 10, 15 ↑ TPC, ↑ radical scavenging capacity (ABTS, DPPH and HOSC), ↓ HI, ↓ eGI, ↓RDS and ↑SDS by flour addition. [9]
Maize germ protein Protein hydrolysate 1, 2, 4 ↑ DPPH radical scavenging, ↑ Fe2+ chelating activity and ↓ starch digestion at 20 min of digestion (in vitro digestion) related to the effect of peptides in the hydrolysate. [8]
Barley Sourdough/Raw Flour 20 65.5↓ * ↑ TPC and radical scavenging activity in barley, lentin and quinoa vs. control. ↑ TPC and radical scavenging in sourdoughs treatments. ↓ Condensed tannins, trypsin inhibitor activity, and α-galactosides, in sourdoughs. ↓ Phytic acid after fermentation, except in barley flour. ↓ eGI in all breads in all treatments, except in quinoa samples, were barley and chickpea treatment demonstrate the lowest GI. ↑ GABA in cereals, pseudocereals, and legumes.

↑, ↓ or = represent differences between treatments vs. control. Protein digestibility column present differences between treatments vs. control product. TPC: Total phenolic content, DPPH: Free radical method 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazil-hydrate, FRAP: Ferric antioxidant power. TEAC: Total antioxidant activities, ABTS: Scavenging capacity, HOSC:·OH Scavenging capacity, HI: Hydrolysis index, eGI: Predicted glycemic index, RDS: Rapidly digestible starch and SDS: Slowly digestible starch. IVPD: In vitro protein digestibility. GABA: A non-protein amino acid. * Compared with raw wheat flour sourdough. ** Compared with sprouted wheat flour sourdough.
