English

Subject field(s)
  • Breadmaking
CONT

Freshly milled flour has a creamy colour because it contains carotenoids, the same pigments that make certain fruits and vegetables yellow. If stored for several months, flour becomes whiter and its baking qualities improve due to oxidation. However, the natural aging process is slow and the results are not always consistent ... Bleaching and maturing agents hasten the oxidation and aging processes and result in flour of consistent quality and colour.

CONT

The Bread and Flour Report 1960 recommends the use of only one bleaching agent, benzoyl peroxide at not more than 50 ppm.

OBS

Some [bleaching agents] e.g. benzoyl peroxide, bleach the flour without improving the baking qualities. Others, such as chlorine dioxide, have both a bleaching and improving (maturing) effect.
