The role of potassium bromate

Introduction: potassium bromate is a kind of inorganic salt It is colorless crystal at room temperature and its molecular formula is KBrO3 So, what about the role of potassium bromate? Let the small editor of Baibai safety net lead you to learn more about it! Potassium bromate is a colorless triangular crystal with a specific gravity of 3.27 and a melting point of 370 ゜ C It is soluble in water and is a widely used chemical reagent So, what about the role of potassium bromate? Baibai safety net and you to understand it! The functions of potassium bromate are as follows: potassium bromate is mainly used as analytical reagent, oxidant, food additive (now banned in China) and wool bleaching agent This product is irritating to eyes, skin and mucous membrane After oral administration, it can cause nausea, vomiting, stomachache, hemophilia, diarrhea, etc In addition, it is harmful to the environment Potassium bromate is a kind of inorganic salt, which plays an oxidant role in the process of fermentation, wake-up and baking After using potassium bromate, the flour is whiter, the bread can expand rapidly, has more elasticity and toughness, and is considered as one of the best flour improvers in baking industry Potassium bromate is carcinogenic and has been banned in many countries (such as Europe), but it is still allowed to be used in the United States Potassium bromate will run out at a baking time and temperature long enough, but there will be residues if too much is added to the flour The above is the answer about the function of potassium bromate provided by Baibai safety net I hope my article will let you have a clearer understanding of this problem!
