Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium carbonate, is used as a leavening agent for the preparation of cakes, breads (such as soda bread) and pastries. During baking, the bicarbonate reacts with other acidic ingredients in the recipe. The carbon dioxide released during this process aerates the dough and gives the baked goods a light, airy texture. The acidic ingredients that trigger this reaction include tartaric acid, lemon juice, yoghurt, buttermilk, cocoa and honey.
Sodium bicarbonate can also be used as a substitute for Baking powder, provided the recipe contains enough acidic ingredients to activate the reaction. In fact, most Baking powder products contain sodium bicarbonate in combination with tartaric acid for this reason.
