What is Baking Powder?
Baking Powder is a commonly used leavening agent in a range of bakery products. It is usually manufactured by blending an acid, a base, and a buffer to prevent premature reactions.
It is sold as a white to off-white powder and is used to add volume and lighten baked goods' texture by adding carbon dioxide.
Baking Powder is a blend of Sodium Bicarbonate and Mono Calcium Phosphate alongside either Cream of Tartar, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (SAPP) & Tartaric Acid for the reactive side. As well as these critical ingredients, Starches are a buffering aid, moisture absorbent and flow-aid to help maintain product stability over its shelf life. The most common starch used is corn starch, however.
Commonly, Baking Powder replaces yeast in traditional baked goods, where the taste from the yeast fermentation is unwanted. The taste improvement and reduced time and resources make it a core product in mass baking and among bakers.
