The function of sodium bicarbonate in beverage: produce carbon dioxide, sodium bicarbonate is decomposed into sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water.
Sodium bicarbonate is an acid salt formed by the neutralization of a strong base and a weak acid, which is weakly alkaline when dissolved in water. This property enables it to be used as a leavening agent in food preparation. Sodium bicarbonate will remain after the action, too much use will make the finished product alkali taste.
Sodium bicarbonate is a white crystal or opaque monoclinal fine crystal. The proportion of 2.15.Odorless, non-toxic, salty, soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol.Soluble in 10 parts water at 25℃, soluble in 12 parts water at about 18℃.Its aqueous solution was slightly alkaline due to hydrolysis, stable in normal temperature, easy to decompose under heat, gradually decomposed above 50℃, completely lost carbon dioxide at 270℃, no change in dry air, slow delirious in the humid air.
Application of sodium bicarbonate:
When sodium bicarbonate is mixed with grease directly, saponification will occur. Too strong soap flavor will affect the fragrance and quality of the pastry.
Sodium bicarbonate is often used as a neutralizer, for example, to balance the acidity of chocolate. It also darkens the color of the chocolate, making it appear darker and brighter. If excessive sodium bicarbonate is added to western pastry, it will not only destroy the quality and lead to excessive alkali taste but also cause palpitations, numbness in the lips, temporary loss of taste, and other symptoms.
Baking soda can be divided into medicinal, edible, and industrial USES, depending on the type and location of purchase. Among them, the purity of industrial baking soda powder is relatively low, with more impurities, while the purity of edible baking soda powder is relatively high.
Baking soda can be used in household cleaning to remove dirt and odor. Due to greasy, dirty, or unpleasant smell, mostly belong to acidic substances (H+, such as fatty acids), when the weakly alkaline hydroxide OH meets with acidic substances, it will produce a neutralization effect. Leave the smudges on for a few minutes, then gently wipe them off.
