What is the chemical composition of flour?
Flour, in general is a starchy carbohydrate. Wheat and Corn four is, for the most part a straight up carbohydrate with some non-digestible fiber. Chemically speaking it would mostly be a series of carbon and hydrogen chains. In plain English, as best said by the Saturday Night Live characters the Cone Heads, white flour is basically a sugar ala “White Sugary Discs with trace Fiber” (referring to sliced White bread). Four (especially whole wheat flour) should also have trace amounts of Chromium, Copper, Zinc, and several other minerals. Flour thought, is too broad to pin down to specific chemicals without processing it in a laboratory and you have hundreds of various types of flour (corn, wheat, oat, etc..) with chemical variations in each.
