Sodium Bicarbonate

Epoch master® Sodium bicarbonate, with the molecular formula of NaHCO3, is an inorganic compound, which is white crystalline powder, odorless, salty and soluble in water. It decomposes slowly in humid air or hot air, producing carbon dioxide, and completely decomposes when heated to 270 ℃. In case of acid, it will decompose strongly and produce carbon dioxide.

Sodium bicarbonate is widely used in analytical chemistry, inorganic synthesis, industrial production, agriculture and animal husbandry.

In food processing, sodium bicarbonate is one of the most widely used loosening agents, which is used to produce biscuits, bread, etc. However, sodium carbonate will remain after the action. Too much use will cause the alkalinity of the food to be too large, resulting in the deterioration of flavor and yellowish-brown color. It is the generator of carbon dioxide in soda drinks; It can be compounded with alum to form alkaline fermentation powder, and can also be compounded with soda ash to form civil stone alkali; It can also be used as a butter preservative. It can be used as a color protection agent for fruits and vegetables in vegetable processing. When washing fruits and vegetables, adding about 0.1%~0.2% sodium bicarbonate can make the green stable. When sodium bicarbonate is used as a fruit and vegetable treatment agent, the pH value of fruit and vegetable can be increased, the water holding capacity of protein can be improved, the softening of food tissue cells can be promoted, and the astringent ingredients can be dissolved by boiling and bleaching. In addition, it can remove the smell of mutton milk, and the dosage is 0.001%~0.002%.

Sodium bicarbonate is a non-hazardous material, but it should be protected from moisture. Store in dry and ventilated warehouse. It cannot be stored and transported with acids. In particular, baking soda should not be stored and transported with toxic substances to prevent pollution.
