What are the elements found in flour?
Flour typically contains wheat starch, protein (gluten), and small amounts of fat, sugar, and fiber. The specific composition may vary depending on the type of flour (e.g., all-purpose, whole wheat) and any additional ingredients added during processing.
What is the difference between enriched white flour and whole wheat flour?
Flour oftentimes goes through a process known as bleaching. This makes the white baking flour most people are accustomed to and which they like to use in baking; however, while this makes the flour more suitable to common baked goods, it also strips much of the nutritional value from the flour. Vitamins are sometimes added to this flour making it 'enriched' white flour. By not doing the bleaching process, you retain the whole wheat aspect of the flour, making it healthier and heartier, and don't necessarily need to 'enrich' the flour.
Does wheat contains sugar?
Wheat flour doesn't contain sugar. Sugar can be released if enzymes are present. Some flour has enzymes added to it (as malted barley flour) to help break down the starch into sugars so yeast can grow better.
Why flour don't dissolve in water?
Flour is made up of proteins and starches that do not readily dissolve in water. When mixed with water, the proteins and starches in flour create a network that traps water, forming a paste-like consistency rather than fully dissolving.
Does wheat have starch?
Yes, although the amount of gluten is significantly reduced from the amounts in wheat flour.
Is wheat being milled into flour a chemical change?
No, the process of wheat being milled into flour is a physical change, not a chemical change. The wheat grains are physically crushed and ground into smaller particles to make flour, but the chemical composition of the wheat remains the same.
Is ground flour a result of a chemical change?
No, grinding flour is a physical change, not a chemical change. The process of grinding wheat into flour involves only a change in the appearance and size of the wheat grains, without altering their chemical composition.
Can you use whole wheat flour instead of stone-ground wheat flour?

What is the difference between wheat flour and white flour What does it mean for flour to be enriched What does it mean for a flour to be refined?
Whole wheat flour is just that, wheat that is ground into flour with nothing removed. White flour is just the middle part of the wheat kernel without the bran or wheat germ. Enriched flour has vitamins added to it to make up for the bran and wheat germ. Refined could mean any of these other than whole wheat.
