What it is
Sodium bicarbonate is a chemical compound, also known as baking soda. It is a salt composed of sodium cations and bicarbonate anions. It occurs naturally as the mineral nahcolite, but is also produced synthetically for commercial use.
Why it's used
Sodium bicarbonate is widely used as a leavening agent in baking, where it reacts with acidic ingredients to produce carbon dioxide gas, causing doughs and batters to rise. It is also used as a pH buffer and an acidity regulator in various food products.
Health notes
Sodium bicarbonate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food. It is a common ingredient in antacids and is used to neutralize stomach acid. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium bicarbonate. At typical dietary intakes, it is considered safe.
