Sodium Bicarbonate — Food Grade (Baking Soda)

High-quality sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) for bakery leavening, pH control, buffering, and general formulation use. Fine, white, free-flowing crystalline powder.

CAS: 144-55-8 Formula: NaHCO₃ Food Grade • USP/FCC

Overview

Food-grade Sodium Bicarbonate is a versatile product. It is primarily used as a leavening base in bakery systems with leavening acids (e.g., SAPP, MCP) to release CO₂ for dependable oven spring. It also supports buffering, pH control, and mild alkalinity in a range of foods and beverages.

Common Applications

  • Bakery leavening: cakes, cookies, biscuits, quick breads.
  • Buffering & pH control: balances acidity in formulas.
  • Processing aid: CO₂ release for texture and crumb control.
  • General formulation: mild alkali, flavor/maillard control in select systems.

Pair with your preferred leavening acid (e.g., SAPP) to tune reaction rate and CO₂ release profile for specific products.

Formulation & Performance
  • Leavening systems: reacts with acids (e.g., SAPP/MCP) to release CO₂ and control batter/rheology.
  • Rate of reaction: choose acid partner to tailor bench tolerance vs. oven rise.
  • Moisture sensitivity: keep dry to avoid premature reaction or caking.
Storage & Handling
  • Consult SDS before use and for full safety information.
  • Store cool, dry, and sealed; protect from moisture/humidity to prevent caking and loss of performance.
  • Avoid dust generation; use appropriate PPE and local exhaust where needed.
