Starch in wheat flour is broken down into simple sugars or glucose.

Malt flour is highly nutritious as it is a good source of fibre, minerals and vitamins. Malt flour is available widely in major two types: Diastatic malt flour and Non-diastatic malt flour. The former is the type of flour which has been treated with enzymes or has active enzymes which increases the fermentation rate of the dough and adds flavour and colour to bread or bakery products.
