Baking Powder Choice 1kg

Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent, a mixture
of a carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid. The base and acid are prevented
from reacting prematurely by the inclusion of a buffer such as corn-starch.
Baking powder is used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked
goods. It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through
an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus
leavening the mixture.
