Baking powder, additive

International indicates that the amount of calcium silicate added to a package of table salt is less than one-half percent (by weight). in addition to adding calcium silicate to table salt, this anti-caking agent is also included in formulations of baking powder.

Applications The most important application sector for sodium hydrogen carbonate is the food industry (e.g. production of baking powder), for which in the USA 33% was used in 1995. In addition it is used in the rubber and chemical sectors. Sodium hydrogen carbonate is also utilized in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, fire extinguisher powder and animal feedstuff s, a strongly...

Tartaric acid can be produced from crystalline residues found in wine vats. It is used in baking powders and as an additive in foods. Analysis shows that it contains 32.3% by mass carbon and 3.97% by mass hydrogen the balance is oxygen. When 0.981 g of tartaric acid is dissolved in 11.23 g of water, the solution freezes at — 1.26°C. Use these data to find the empirical and molecular formulas of tartaric acid. 

It is also used as a food additive in baking powders and wheat flours where it serves to retain the proper acidity of the food product to which it is added. It is also used, like the dibasic form, as a nutritional supplement in processed foods. 

The three forms of sodium phosphate have somewhat different uses. Monobasic sodium phosphate is used as a food additive to maintain proper acidity and in baking powders, as a food supplement to provide the phosphorus needed in a person s daily diet, in the treatment of boiler water to reduce the formation of scale on the inner surface of the boiler, and as a feed supplement for cattle and other farm animals. 

The succinic acid anhydrite is ideal for baking powder prodnction of the Allied Chemical Co. ° The low level of acid hydrolysis is important dnring mixing of dongh, since it is required that the additional acid should not react with soda dnring mixing nntil the prodnct swells.
