Many people know that additives such as bleach and preservatives are put in flour, but they don't know what additives are put in bread flour. Sometimes bread flour can be understood as high-gluten flour, with high protein content, and it will be very gluten when kneading dough.

In addition to the well-known bleaching agents and preservatives, in order to improve the gluten of flour, general flour manufacturers will put some sulfur-containing substances such as gluten enhancer for flour products, which can increase gluten. In some places, it is also called gluten enhancer. These are all synthesized from some sulfur-containing substances.

In addition, potassium bromate can strengthen the gluten of flour, but it is a carcinogen.

Sodium polyacrylate is also a common reinforcing agent.

Additive foods or foods cultivated with additives are subtly changing our food chain, changing our nutritional structure and making us suffer from some inexplicable diseases.

Some people must be thinking, what's in ordinary flour?

1, gluten additive, commonly known as flour gluten enhancer, the main component is VC and so on. Improve the gluten of flour, so that flour can meet the needs of producing high-grade noodles such as Lamian Noodles and jiaozi;

2. The flour quality improver can improve the quality of flour in an all-round way, so that the gluten, extensibility, stability and other indexes of flour can meet the needs of the production of high-grade flour products;

3. Flour whitening agent, namely diluted benzoyl peroxide, whose main chemical substance is benzoyl peroxide, which is also commonly known as "flour whitening agent". This substance has a strong oxidation effect, which accelerates the after-ripening of flour, shortens the after-ripening time of flour which takes half a month at room temperature to 3-5 days, and can slowly oxidize lutein and carotene in flour, making it turn from yellowish to white. That's why it's called flour whitening agent.

4, flour gluten reducer, can destroy the gluten of flour, so that flour can be used to make biscuits, peach cakes and other foods that do not need gluten.

5. Bread improver, added to flour, makes the internal structure of bread delicate and uniform, thus processing bread with good appearance. Bread improvers are widely used in western countries. The quality of flour in China can't meet the needs of bread processing. Only by adding bread improver can qualified bread be produced.

Benzoyl peroxide is an additive raw material, which will not only increase the burden on the liver, but also cause cancer, so liver disease is our first serious illness, and it will also destroy folic acid in the human body, so the birth rate has also dropped.
