What it is
Yeast is a single-celled microorganism used in baking and brewing. Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a white crystalline powder. When combined, they act as leavening agents, producing carbon dioxide gas that causes doughs and batters to rise.
Why it's used
This combination is primarily used as a leavening system in baked goods like bread, cakes, and cookies. The yeast provides flavor and texture through fermentation, while sodium bicarbonate provides a quick lift, especially in recipes that don't require long proofing times.
Health notes
Yeast and sodium bicarbonate are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are common components of many foods and are not associated with adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated yeast and sodium bicarbonate, and their evaluations are available.
Allergen info
Yeast is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Sodium bicarbonate is a mineral and not an allergen. Gluten is not present in either ingredient.
