sodium bicarbonate,edible
Different from soda ash (sodium carbonate) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), baking soda is made from soda ash solution or crystal after absorbing carbon dioxide. Therefore, baking soda is also called edible alkali (powder) in some places. Baking soda is solid, round, white in color and easily soluble in water.
Monosalts are: normal salt, acid salt and basic salt. Sodium bicarbonate is an acid salt generated by neutralization of strong base and weak acid, which is weakly alkaline when dissolved in water.
In the mass production of steamed bread, fried dough sticks and other foods, soda powder melt water is often mixed into noodles, which is decomposed into sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water after heating, and carbon dioxide and water vapor overflow, which can make the food more fluffy and sodium carbonate remains in the food. Too much baking soda can be tasted in steamed bread.
matters need attention
Store in a dry and ventilated indoor warehouse, and be careful to prevent bags from being broken or scattered during transportation. Edible baking soda shall not be stored and transported with toxic substances to prevent pollution and moisture, and be isolated from acid products.
