Sodium bicarbonate is more commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda in layman’s terms. It’s a white solid that’s crystalline and often sold as a fine powder in the markets. Sodium bicarbonate has a slightly salty and alkaline taste that resembles washing soda. You can find sodium bicarbonate dissolved in many mineral springs.
Chemical Function/Application:
- Cooking: sodium bicarbonate is often found to be used in cooking purposes. Like for example in leavening, sodium bicarbonate is used as a leavening agent in baking bread and pastries. It causes the batter to expand and forms the characteristic texture and grain in cakes, quick breads, soda bread, and other baked goods. Sometimes, you may find sodium bicarbonate as a reaction in hydrogen phosphates, cream of tartar, lemon juice, yoghurt, buttermilk, cocoa, and vinegar. When mixed with sourdough, it makes a lighter product that has a less acidic taste.
- Baking powder: baking powder often contains a certain percentage of sodium bicarbonate (usually up to 30%). When added water, the sodium bicarbonate will activate.
- Mild disinfectants: It can be used as disinfectants as sodium bicarbonate has weak disinfectant properties. It’s effective against some organisms as it works as a form of fungicide. As sodium bicarbonate absorbs musty smells, it’s become a common method for book sellers to make books less malodorous.
