Baking powder is not baking soda. Baking soda, a fine white crystal, is used as a bulking agent in baking, releasing carbon dioxide gas by reacting with acids to make the dough or batter expand, while baking powder (BakingPowder) is a compound bulking agent, consisting of baking soda and other acids (such as tartaric acid, phosphate, etc.), as well as cornstarch, and when the baking powder is mixed with water, the acidic ingredients and the baking soda react. react to release carbon dioxide, which helps the dough or batter rise. There are similarities between the two in terms of how they are used, but the baking powder is pre-combined with the acid and baking soda, so it produces gas faster during baking for recipes that require a quick rise, as opposed to baking soda, which needs to be combined with an acid (e.g., yogurt, vinegar, etc.) during baking in order for it to be effective. Baking soda refers to a food additive called soda, with the chemical name sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, which is often used as a bulking agent in daily life. When baking food such as bread and cakes, baking soda can react with the acidic substances in the food to produce carbon dioxide gas, which makes the food fluffy. In addition to being used as a bulking agent, baking soda can be used to clean greasy kitchen utensils, remove odors, etc.
