Bleaching agents are food additives that whiten the color of flour and flour products. Oxidization and reduction are the main chemical reactions that bring about this decolorization. In the production of cheese, bleaching agents are generally applied to yellow colored whey to decrease the color of the product. Whey is the liquid extract after the processing and straining of milk. Usually bleaching agents, such as peroxides, are used for lipid oxidation in liquid whey.
The bleaching agent market has been segmented as type of bleaching agents into azodicarbonamide, hydrogen peroxide, ascorbic acid, acetone peroxide, chlorine dioxide, and others. Hydrogen peroxide generates the most revenue in bleaching agents market owing to its strong oxidizing property, hydrogen peroxide is used in some foods such as wheat flour, edible oil, egg white, and many more. Hydrogen peroxide also acts as an antimicrobial agent in food such as milk, and as a sterilizing agent for food packaging materials.
