Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour

The name describes the structure of the ingredient:

• Enriched. Enrichment refers to the process of adding essential nutrients that may be lost during the processing of wheat. These can include iron, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, and folic acid.
• Bleached. Bleached flour has been treated with chemical agents to improve its texture and color. This process makes the flour finer, softer, and whiter, but also more refined, so it loses many of its nutritional characteristics.
• Wheat Flour. Wheat flour is the product of grinding wheat grains. It is a common source of carbohydrates and is used in a wide range of food products.

Description of raw materials used in production:

Enriched bleached wheat flour is produced from wheat, which is refined by removing the germ and bran

Functions of Raw Materials

• Wheat - Provides the base for the flour
• Bleaching Agents - Such as benzoyl peroxide or chlorine, used to bleach the flour
• Production Process
• Milling - Wheat is milled to remove the germ and bran, producing white flour
• Bleaching - The flour is treated with bleaching agents to achieve a whiter color and finer texture
• Enrichment - Nutrients like iron, B vitamins, and folic acid are added to compensate for nutrient loss during refining
