  • Exam question:
  • A bakery has a signature sourdough starter that has been fed and grown in-house for over a decade. However, the baker supplements it with commercially dehydrated sourdough culture in production batches. Which statement explains his reasoning for this in terms of the FNH 200 course material?
    1. Dehydration sterilizes the commercial culture, so introducing it prevents unwanted microorganisms from entering the culture.
    2. The house starter is an uncontrolled mixed culture and is more variable than commercial cultures; adding small batches of commercial culture helps to make the starter more consistent by industry standards.
    3. The sourdough starter likes to eat commercial culture
    4. Since the culture is dehydrated, adding it in lowers the water activity of the whole starter to help keep it dormant Correct answer: 2.
