The total starch content is measured by using an enzymatic kit,
which is based on the use of a-amylase and amyloglucosidase, in a
wide range of food and cereal products. As shown in Table 2, the
results differed significantly between the bread samples. The
lowest value in comparison to S. cerevisiae baker's yeast (69.9%)was
found for S. cerevisiae us-05 and S. cerevisiae s-23 of 60.2% and
60.9%, respectively. The lower content of total starch for the doughs
prepared with beer yeast is based on the fact that beer yeast has
higher enzyme activities in comparison to baker's yeast, which
degrade starch into more fermentable sugars
