Description:
Sodium bicarbonate:
is the
chemical compound
with the formula
Na
HCO3
. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is
crystalline
but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slightly salty,
alkaline
taste resembling that of washing soda (
sodium carbonate
). It is among the
food additives
encoded by
European Union
, identified by the initials
E 500
. Since it has long been known and is widely used, the
salt
has many related names such as baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda.
Uses:
Sodium bicarbonate:
is used in a process for removing paint and corrosion called
soda blasting
; the process is particularly suitable for cleaning aluminum panels which can be distorted by other types of abrasive. It can be administered to pools, spas, and garden ponds to raise
pH
levels. It has weak
disinfectant
properties, and it may be an effective
fungicide
against some organisms. Because baking soda will absorb musty smells, it has become a reliable method for used-book sellers when making books less malodorous.
Cooking:
Sodium bicarbonate:
referred to as "baking soda", is primarily used in cooking (baking), as a leavening agent. It reacts with acidic components in batters, releasing carbon dioxide, which causes expansion of the batter and forms the characteristic texture and grain in pancakes, cakes, quick breads, soda bread, and other baked and fried foods.
