Taste, smell and the flavour are the most important attributes determining the quality of bread or baked cereal products in general. Bread flavour is composed of hundreds of volatile and non-volatile compounds, i.e. many alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, acids, esters and other compounds. Many researchers have been studying volatile compounds in different breads worldwide, but in Latvia only few studies are conducted on volatile compounds in bread and its production stages. The aim of this research was to analyse the composition of volatile compounds during wheat dough fermentation. Experiments were done in 2011 and carried out in the Laboratory of Bread Technology and Laboratory of Packing Material Investigations at the Department of Food Technology in the Latvia University of Agriculture. An investigation of volatile compounds was done using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS). Volatile compounds were analyzed on the 10th, 20th and 30th minutes of wheat dough fermentation. In a fermentation process of wheat dough totally 15 volatile compounds were detected. Eight of them were alcohols, two aldehydes, two ketones, one ester, one acid and one terpene. Three volatile compounds – 1-octanol, caryophyllene and acetophenone, were detected in the dough samples only after 30 minutes of fermentation – those were not detected at the earlier stages of fermentation. The peak areas of 11 volatile compounds increased, but peak area of one volatile compound decreased along the fermentation time. The study proved that solid-phase microextraction can be used for detection of volatile compounds in wheat dough fermentation process.
