It can do this by forming disulfide bonds between two cysteine amino acids in a reaction similar to the chemical equation given below. The function of KBr03 is to remove the 2 electrons needed to form the disulfide bond as shown in the figure below. Each of the cysteine amino acids will be in a protein chain, so the reaction binds the two chains together, giving the dough cohesion. However, potassium bromate is a proven carcinogen and is only allowed in foods in the United States because bakers will add the right amount and correct It has been assumed to meet the temperature and cooking time conditions.
