Wheat grains containing starch, protein and a lot of growth factors seem to be the rich nutrient media for some types of microbes. On the other hand, the niglible number of lactobacilli can produce amylases and proteinases (for native gluten decomposition), so at least the partial hydrolysis of substances mentioned is needed. The complex processing of wheat flour with amylases and proteases was shown to increas...
