Small bakeries emphasize extended fermentation processes and prioritize sensory qualities in their products. However, the impact of ingredients on the quality characteristics of artisan bread remains underexplored. Here, a set of breads from artisanal bakeries in Valencia, Spain, was characterized. Bread dough pH, total titratable acidity (TTA), and acid content were influenced by flour type and sourdough use, creating different environments for volatile compound (VOC) generation. Over 50 VOCs, including aldehydes, alcohols, acids, and furans, were identified in crumb and crust samples of most artisan bread samples, compared to fewer than 20 VOCs in control industrial bread, where ketones dominated. Whole flours, such as spelt, durum wheat, or T80, along with the leavening agent, affected the abundance of certain volatiles, particularly in the crust. Additionally, the use of spelt or wheat flour impacted crumb texture, while sourdough improved taste intensity, acidity, and crumb color. Finally, certain sensory attributes were also influenced by the presence of hydrocarbons and furans in the volatile fraction of both crumb and crust. Overall, the results provide new insights into the influence of ingredients on the quality of artisan bread and can help bakers refine recipes while maintaining a natural ingredient list. Hence, the work is substantial for the artisan bread industry and consumers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods13233872","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,2]],"date-time":"2024-12-02T03:50:57Z","timestamp":1733111457000},"page":"3872","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Quantitative Assessment of Volatile Profile and Sensory Perception of Artisan Bread Made in the City of Valencia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5191-9488","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gemma","family":"Sanmart\u00edn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Instituto de Agroqu\u00edmica y Tecnolog\u00eda de los Alimentos, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas, Avda.
