Principle of action: When carbonate comes into contact with water and acid, it dissociates into several substances. In this process, carbon dioxide is released, but no flavor substances are produced. Therefore, the taste of the product will not be affected.
Baking powder is mainly divided into baking soda, alum, baking powder and smelly powder.
Extended data:
Harm of chemical expansion agent: Because the reaction products of baking soda and stinky powder (carbon dioxide and ammonia) are also products of human metabolism, as long as they are not used excessively, they will not cause obvious health problems, but will destroy some nutrients in food, such as vitamins. Alum and baking powder both contain aluminum.
Many international reports point out that aluminum is closely related to Alzheimer's disease, and it can also reduce memory, inhibit immune function and hinder nerve conduction. Moreover, aluminum is discharged from the human body slowly, so the use of alum and baking powder should be strictly controlled in food, and foods containing aluminum should be eaten as little as possible.
