Sodium Bicarbonate
Sodium Bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a white crystalline powder available in Food Grade, USP Grade, and Technical Grade. It is a gentle buffering agent and leavening agent prized for its high purity and environmental safety.
In the food industry, it is essential for aeration in baked goods and as a pH regulator in various beverages. The product’s mild alkalinity makes it highly effective for neutralizing acids without causing harsh chemical reactions in sensitive formulations.
Beyond food, it is a staple in personal care for its odor-neutralizing and abrasive properties in toothpaste and deodorants. Its high solubility and non-toxic profile make it an ideal choice for large-scale industrial cleaning and flue gas desulfurization.
Sodium Bicarbonate
- [Food Leavening]: Acts as a primary raising agent in cakes and biscuits by releasing CO2 during the baking process.
- [Personal Care]: Used as a gentle abrasive in oral care and a natural pH buffer in bath bombs and skin treatments.
- [Industrial Cleaning]: Serves as an eco-friendly abrasive in blast-cleaning and a neutralizing agent in specialized detergent blends.
Generally recognized as safe (GRAS); may cause Mild Eye Irritation upon direct contact. Standard PPE includes Safety Glasses and Dust Masks to prevent inhalation of fine particles.
