A process for the production of a fermented, milled grain substrate useful in bakery products, said process comprising: (i) providing a pumpable, aqueous slurry of milled grain; and (ii) fermenting a volume of said slurry in a fermentation vessel with one or more strains of lactic acid producing bacteria under suitable conditions, wherein fresh slurry is added to said vessel and fermented slurry is removed from said vessel substantially continuously and in such a manner that substantially steady state fermentation conditions are maintained in said vessel. In a further form there is provided a process for the produc tion of a fermented, milled grain substrate for use in the production of bakery products, said process comprising: (i) fermenting a milled grain substrate with a lactic acid producing bacteria; and (ii) incubating the milled grain substrate with one or more types of proteolytic enzymes under suitable conditions for enzyme activity; and (iii) incubating the product of step (ii) with yeast. a |
