What it is
Sodium carbonate is a white, crystalline powder that occurs naturally in mineral deposits. It is commonly manufactured by the Solvay process, which uses salt (sodium chloride) and limestone (calcium carbonate) as raw materials. It is also known as soda ash.
Why it's used
Sodium carbonate functions as a leavening agent in baked goods, helping them to rise and become fluffy. It can also act as an acidity regulator, balancing the pH in food products. It is found in a variety of baked goods, including cookies, cakes, and waffles.
Health notes
Sodium carbonate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common ingredient in many foods and is not associated with adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium carbonate, and it is permitted for use in food.
Allergen info
Sodium carbonate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
