Description

Potassium bromate (CAS 7758-01-2 ), also known as E924 , is an inorganic oxidizing salt used commercially as a flour treatment agent and chemical oxidizer. It strengthens dough structure in baking and supports oxidation processes in industrial applications. In commercial baking, E924 acts as a dough conditioner that improves gluten network development, resulting in greater loaf volume and a finer crumb structure in bread production. It is also evaluated as a flour bleaching and maturing agent. This chemical accelerates the aging process that would otherwise require extended storage time. In water treatment, potassium bromate appears as a disinfection byproduct of ozone treatment and is monitored as a regulated contaminant. This makes it highly relevant to water quality testing and compliance workflows. Analytical and reference-grade material is sourced by QA laboratories for method validation and standard preparation in food and water testing programs. Potassium bromate is supplied as a white crystalline powder or granular solid. Technical and reagent grades are the most commonly available, with food-grade material historically supplied to markets where flour treatment use remains permitted. Packaging typically ranges from small laboratory quantities to bulk industrial volumes depending on end-use requirements. Our material meets rigorous specifications for purity and consistency across various industrial and laboratory applications. Contact us for supply of Potassium bromate Request Quote
