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 is commonly produced industrially through the Solvay process.

Why it's used

Sodium bicarbonate is frequently used as a leavening agent in baked goods like cookies and biscuits. When combined with an acid, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes doughs and batters to rise. It can also be used to adjust pH levels in food products.

Health notes

Sodium bicarbonate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a common ingredient in antacids and can help neutralize stomach acid. JECFA has evaluated sodium bicarbonate and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical dietary intake.
