Le blanchiment peut se présenter par plages non uniformes. Le blanchiment peut être le résultat «apparent» d'autres altérations spécifiques, telles que l'encrassement ou le farinage. Le blanchiment peut être également dû à une diffusion d'eau dans le feuil quand sa réticulation est insuffisante ou quand la macromolécule comporte des groupes OH à sa périphérie; ce phénomène peut être irréversible.
