Sodium Bicarbonate – 25kg

Description

Sodium Bicarbonate – Multi-Functional Food & Beverage Ingredient

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) is a white crystalline powder widely used in food, beverage, health, and industrial applications. It is GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) and serves multiple functions:

• Leavening Agent: Reacts with acids to release CO₂, helping baked goods rise with a light, airy texture.

• pH Buffer: Stabilizes acidity in beverages, noodles, dough, and other food products to extend shelf life.

• Carbonation: Creates fizz in soft drinks, effervescent tablets, and fizzy formulations.

• Meat Tenderizer: Breaks down muscle fibers for improved texture.

• Preservative: Helps maintain freshness and inhibits microbial growth.

Additional uses include antacids for heartburn, oral care products (toothpaste, mouthwash), and mild cleaning/deodorizing applications.

Sodium Bicarbonate is a safe, food-grade additive that ensures consistency, quality, and natural performance in both industrial and household food applications.
