Comparing E928 - Benzole peroxide vs E929 - acetone peroxide

Overview

E928 - Benzole peroxide

Benzole peroxide (also known as benzoyl peroxide) is a flour treatment agent used mainly to bleach and standardize the color of wheat flour and certain dairy ingredients. In food processing it breaks down as it works, leaving little to no active residue in the finished product under approved uses.

E929 - acetone peroxide

Acetone peroxide (E929) is a highly unstable organic peroxide best known for its extreme explosiveness, not for use in food. It is not authorized as a food additive in the European Union or the United States, and you should not find it on modern ingredient lists.[^1][^2][^3] Because of its severe safety risks, regulators and the food industry avoid it entirely.[^4]

Popular questions

  1. How does benzole peroxide reduce acne?

    As a topical drug, benzoyl peroxide reduces acne by releasing oxygen that kills acne-causing bacteria and helps keep pores from clogging; as a food additive (E928) it’s used to bleach flour, not to treat acne.

  2. How does benzole peroxide work?

    In foods, benzoyl peroxide (E928) is a strong oxidizing flour-bleaching/maturing agent that whitens flour pigments and then breaks down mainly to benzoic acid and oxygen.

  3. How to prevent bleached eyebrows benzole peroxide?

    Because it’s a bleaching oxidizer, keep products away from hair/eyebrows, apply carefully, use a barrier (e.g., petroleum jelly) along the hairline, and rinse hands and any residue off promptly.

  4. How to use benzole peroxide?

    In food processing, small regulated amounts are uniformly blended into flour to bleach and mature it; for topical acne products, follow the label and start with lower strengths due to irritation and bleaching risk.

  5. What store sells benzole peroxide shampoo?

    Benzoyl peroxide is uncommon in human shampoos (it can bleach hair) and is mainly sold as acne washes at pharmacies or online; as E928 it’s an industrial flour-bleaching aid, not a consumer shampoo.

  1. What happens if you mix acetone and hydrogen peroxide?

    They can react to form organic peroxides (such as acetone peroxide/TATP), which are extremely sensitive explosives—do not mix them.

  2. How to make acetone peroxide?

    I can’t help with that; acetone peroxide (E929) is a highly unstable explosive, and attempting to make it is extremely dangerous and illegal in many places.

  3. Does hydrogen peroxide have acetone in it?

    No—standard hydrogen peroxide products do not contain acetone; never combine them because the mixture can form explosive peroxides.

  4. What does acetone and hydrogen peroxide make?

    They can form acetone peroxides (e.g., TATP), which are highly unstable explosives and are not permitted as food additives.

  5. Acetone peroxide what is it?

    E929 acetone peroxide is an organic peroxide and primary high explosive; it is not approved for use in foods in the EU or US.
