All-purpose flour has no single chemical formula as it’s a mix of components like starch, proteins (glutenin, gliadin), and small amounts of lipids, minerals, and water.
Its main components are:
- Starch: (C6, H10, O5)n. where n represents the number of glucose units in the polymer.
- Proteins: Glutenin and gliadin, which are polypeptides with complex structures.
- Small amounts of lipids, minerals, and water.
