In this study, we determined the effect of organic (i) flour ash content (1%–1.4%) and (ii) flour by-product addition (bran, shorts and germ) on sourdough performances. After five consecutive back-sloppings, sourdough was used for bread-making and its bread-related properties were assessed. No effect of flour composition factors (i & ii) on sourdough lactic acid bacteria and yeasts were highlighted. Nonetheless, they greatly altered lactic acid and acetic acid sourdough contents from 6.9 to 17.4 g/kg and from 0.9 to 2.2 g/kg, respectively. The flour ash content (i) had a significant and positive effect on sourdough acidity and CO2 production. Bread made with sourdough with a high ash content had a significantly higher acidity and specific volume. These physicochemical differences between breads were perceived by sensory evaluation in a significant way. Sourdough supplemented (ii) with germ had higher lactic acid and carbon dioxide contents than sourdough supplemented with bran and shorts. Hence, flour composition, combining ash content and flour by-products, appears to be an effective factor to obtain a better control of sourdough performances.
