Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the acceptability of composite breads based on local cereal
(millet and sorghum) formulations. Bread preparations based on 50% wheat flour and 50% local
cereal flour were made in the presence of exopolysaccharide (Eps) production stimulated by a
strain of Weissella confusa A16 in the fermented dough. Seven formulations were done in two
baking sets and were submitted to sensory evaluations which consisted of tests on sensory profile,
hedonic analysis and ranking. Results showed that the presence of Eps improved the acceptability
of breads made with local cereal flours. The white color of the crumb of breads made with 100%
wheat flour was the most appreciated by consumers. The less local flour is used in the bread
preparation, the better the bread is appreciated. Nevertheless, formulations containing whole
grains were the least appreciated, partly because of the hardness of the breads. Interestingly, more
than 50% of consumers found the taste pleasant for breads made with 50% millet flour.
