Slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) was prepared and used as wheat tempering water. This study explored the impacts of tempering with SAEW on microbial load and diversity and quality properties of wheat flour. As SAEW volume ratio increased, the residual level of total plate counts (TPC) and mould/yeast counts (MYC) decreased dramatically (p < 0.05). Based on genomics analysis, bacterial 16S rRNA gene and fungal ITS1 gene region were performed to characterize the changes in microbial communities’ composition and diversity in response to SAEW treatment. SAEW optimal volume ratio (6.5:10, v/v) of SAEW with distilled water influenced wheat microbiome composition, with a higher microbial diversity and abundance discovered on the control grains. Bacteroidetes of predominant bacterial phylum and Ascomycota of the most abundant fungal phylum were reduced after SAEW optimal volume ratio tempering. The flour yield is higher and ash content is lower than the control samples. Falling number and “b*” in terms of colour markedly increased. DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) test showed that To (onset temperature), Tp (peak temperature), and Tc (conclusion temperature) were significantly decreased in thermal characteristics of flour. Gluten content, protein content, ΔH and pasting properties tests showed no significant change. It can be concluded that SAEW should be applied on wheat tempering for producing clean wheat flour. ANOVA and Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test were used for the analysis of variance and differences between the experimental and control groups, with p < 0.05.
