Flavor compounds are one of the very important factors for the taste of commercial breads, and then the volatile flavor compounds in the present novel polished-wheat-flour breads were determined by headspace sorptive extraction method to develop the baking properties, comparing two baking procedures of straight-common- and sourdough-methods. The polished flours of outermost, middle and innermost fractions, and common flour, CW were used. There were some differences on the compounds and proportions of volatile flavors in all flours between the both methods. The sourdough-method increased the proportions of acids and aldehydes in crust, but decreased those of alcohols and methoxybenzenes identified in the outermost fraction, rather than the straight-common-method. In addition, the sourdough-method lowered the amounts of some compounds related to oxidation products from unsaturated fatty acids and metabolites of species with moldy grains, as compared with the straight-common-method. Furthermore, the amounts of 2-methylpropanol (iso-butanol) and 2-phenylethanol (β-phenyl-ethyl-alcohol) that have been known as favorable flavor compounds on breadmaking distinctly increased in polished flour breads than CW bread, regardless of baking methods. Therefore, the sourdough-method with lactic acid fermentation would be suitable baking procedure for polished flours from the viewpoints of flavor properties. Furthermore, the utilization of sourdough-method for polished flours from middle and innermost fractions might be appropriate to taste and texture of consumers' request for bread qualities.
