overview
About this food additive - Sodium Bicarbonate
Description
- Sodium bicarbonate is an inorganic compound commonly known as baking soda, widely used in the food industry as a leavening agent. It reacts with acids to release carbon dioxide gas, which helps doughs and batters rise and develop a light texture.
- Its use dates back to early baking practices and became widespread with the development of modern baking techniques. Sodium bicarbonate is effective in recipes that include acidic ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice, or yogurt.
- It is soluble in water and decomposes when heated, contributing to both leavening and slight alkalinity in food systems. It can also influence flavour and colour development during baking.
- It is stable under dry storage conditions and can be combined with acidulants or other leavening agents to optimise performance in different formulations
