What it is

Sodium bicarbonate is a white crystalline powder, commonly known as baking soda. It is a salt of carbonic acid, produced industrially or found naturally. Corn starch is a fine, white powder made from the endosperm of corn kernels.

Why it's used

Sodium bicarbonate acts as a leavening agent, reacting with acids to produce carbon dioxide gas, which makes baked goods rise. Corn starch is used as a thickener for sauces, gravies, and fillings, and also helps to bind ingredients in processed foods.

Health notes

Both sodium bicarbonate and corn starch are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Sodium bicarbonate is a source of sodium, and high intake of sodium can be a concern for some individuals. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium bicarbonate. Corn starch is a carbohydrate and a source of calories.

Allergen info

Neither sodium bicarbonate nor corn starch are derived from the major allergens. Corn is a grain, but corn starch is generally considered gluten-free.
