Effect of lactic acid-rich sourdough bread on appetite regulation: A randomized, double-blind controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Sourdough bread consumption has been associated with improved glucose and appetite regulation thanks to the presence of organic acids produced during fermentation of the flour-water mixture. We investigated the effects of whole meal sourdough bread (WSB) rich in lactic acid on energy intake, satiety, gastric emptying, glucose, and C-peptide response compared to whole meal yeast bread (WYB). Forty-four normal-weight participants (age: 30 ± 10 y; BMI: 23 ± 2 kg/m²) participated in this double-blind, randomized cross-over trial, consisting of two study visits separated by one week. During each study visit, gastric emptying, subjective appetite, glucose, and C-peptide concentrations were measured at regular time intervals over a 4-h period. After 4 h, ad-libitum energy intake
