Potassium bromate is typically used in the United States as a flour improver (E number E924). It acts to strengthen the dough and to allow higher rising. It is an oxidizing agent , and under the right conditions, is reduced to bromide in the baking process.
Any material which, in either concentration tested, exhibits a mean burning time less than or equal to the mean burning time of a 3:7 potassium bromate/cellulose mixture and the criteria for Packing Group I and II are not met. Group I 5.1: Liquid Any material which spontaneously ignites when mixed with cellulose in a 1:1 ratio; or
The bromate anion, BrO − 3, is a bromine-based oxoanion. A bromate is a chemical compound that contains this ion. Examples of bromates include sodium bromate (NaBrO 3) and potassium bromate (KBrO 3). Bromates are formed many different ways in municipal drinking water. The most common is the reaction of ozone and bromide: Br − + O 3 → BrO ...
The international pictogram for oxidizing chemicals. Dangerous goods label for oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).
n.o.s. = not otherwise specified meaning a collective entry to which substances, mixtures, solutions or articles may be assigned if a) they are not mentioned by name in 3.2 Dangerous Goods List AND b) they exhibit chemical, physical and/or dangerous properties corresponding to the Class, classification code, packing group and the name and description of the n.o.s. entry [2]
potassium bromate (E924, the component which gives bromated flour its name, used mainly in the U.S. East and Midwest, acts as a bleaching agent, banned in some areas) potassium iodate; Reducing agents help to weaken the flour by breaking the protein network. This will help with various aspects of handling a strong dough.
Red dye No. 3, among other additives, has been banned in California under a new law. The additive appears in thousands of products, including candies and some medications.
