Maida is made up of wheat but it is a refined form which goes under various steps like bleaching and sieving etc. which destroy the Thiamine content therefore, the Thiamine content is very less in Maida in compare to Wheat flour. Hope it helps. If you have any further question, please mention it in the comment section.

Myth Buster- Plastic in wheat flour

 MYTH BUSTER- PLASTIC IN WHEAT FLOUR

Wheat flour naturally contains 2 proteins – Glutenin- for elasticity & Gliadin- for raising of dough. In the presence of water, these 2 proteins bond together to create an elastic network of a protein called gluten strings. Gluten is the rubbery mass that is left when wheat flour dough is washed with water & this is maliciously referred to as plastic.

Detailed information on the presence of plastic in wheat flour is available at https://fssai.gov.in/all-whatnew.php

MYTH BUSTER- MELAMINE IN INFANT MILK

MYTH BUSTER- MELAMINE IN INFANT MILK

Melamine has no known food uses. Melamine could be present in food either on account of its incidental presence (as a contaminant) or due to deliberate addition (as an adulterant) for economic gains.

It must be noted that the use of melamine either as an ingredient or as an additive is not permitted in any food by FSSAI, although maximum limits for the presence of melamine in food, including milk, have been prescribed to address the incidental presence of melamine as a contaminant. This is as per international standards and is based on a proper risk assessment with respect to consumer health safety. Setting up such limits certainly does not mean that FSSAI allows the addition of melamine to foods even within the specified maximum limit.
