What it is
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and potassium bicarbonate are salts. They are found naturally in mineral deposits and are also produced industrially. They are often combined in food products.
Why it's used
These ingredients are used as leavening agents in baked goods, helping them to rise and become fluffy. They can also act as acidity regulators and are found in powdered drink mixes and effervescent tablets.
Health notes
Sodium and potassium bicarbonate are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are common ingredients in antacids and are used to neutralize stomach acid. JECFA has evaluated these substances and established acceptable daily intakes. High intake of sodium bicarbonate can lead to electrolyte imbalances, especially in individuals with kidney or heart conditions.
