Scientists Undertake Experiments to Make Healthier White Bread

London, 1 May (ONA) --- Scientists are trying to create a new type of bread that is just as healthy as wholemeal but looks and tastes like its white counterpart.

Aimed at those favouring white bread, the project aims to improve health benefits of such products.

The plan involves incorporating small amounts of peas, beans, cereals, bran, and wheat germ into the bread mix to enhance its nutritional value.

Dr. Catherine Howarth of Aberystwyth University leads the research, aiming to balance nutritional enhancement with maintaining the desired taste and texture of white bread.

The team plans to analyze the chemical composition of white flour and reintroduce essential nutrients lost during milling, along with adding other grains rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

The goal is to create a product that resembles traditional white bread while offering improved health benefits. Initial prototypes show promise, but further testing is needed.
