What it is

Sodium bicarbonate monocalcium phosphate is a chemical compound that acts as a leavening agent. It is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and monocalcium phosphate, a type of calcium salt.

Why it's used

This ingredient is used in baked goods to help them rise and achieve a lighter texture. It is commonly found in products like cookies, cakes, and breads, where it reacts with moisture and heat to produce carbon dioxide gas.

Health notes

Sodium bicarbonate and monocalcium phosphate are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for food. Both components have been evaluated by JECFA, which did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified) for either. Typical intake from food is not associated with adverse health effects.
