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. 2, record 3, English, - bleaching%20agent
