This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,959.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent (Sourdough and process for producing same) describes a process for producing sourdough, but it lacks specific temperature control and repetition of fermentation steps, leading to inconsistent results. The present invention addresses these limitations by introducing a temperature control system and repeating the fermentation step at least three times, ensuring a more efficient and consistent sourdough production process.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new invention introduces a temperature control system and repetition of fermentation steps, which are not present in the original patent. This combination of features provides a novel and non-obvious solution to the problem of inconsistent sourdough production.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention could include using different types of fermentable matrices, substrates, or temperature control systems. Variations of the method could involve adjusting the number of fermentation repetitions, temperature ranges, or types of microorganisms used.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced sourdough production system and method have significant commercial potential in the baking industry, particularly for artisanal bread producers and industrial bakeries. The improved efficiency, consistency, and quality of the sourdough production process could lead to increased market share and revenue for companies adopting this technology.
