About Product
Sodium Bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a versatile food additive used as a leavening agent, pH regulator, and texture enhancer. It helps baked goods rise by releasing carbon dioxide when combined with acidic ingredients. Additionally, it acts as a mild alkali, balancing acidity in food products, and is used in beverages, dairy, and confectionery. Its ability to regulate pH and control moisture makes it essential in food processing and preservation.
