sodium bicarbonate CAS:144-55-8

Description:

sodium bicarbonate  is white powder or opaque monoclinic system with fine crystals. Odorless and salty in taste. The solubility in water is lower than that of sodium carbonate. The solid gradually decomposes to form sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water above 50 ℃, and completely decomposes at 270 ℃. Sodium bicarbonate is an acidic salt formed by the neutralization of strong bases and weak acids, which exhibits weak alkalinity when dissolved in water. This characteristic is often used as a leavening agent in the food production process.

Application：

1. Alkaline agent: used as an acidity regulator and chemical leavening agent. Often formulated with ammonium bicarbonate as a leavening agent for biscuits and pastries.
2. Used for blanching and removing astringency in food. Because it can increase the pH value, it can improve the water holding capacity of proteins, promote the softening of food tissue cells, and promote the dissolution of astringent ingredients.
3. Used in industries such as food, medicine, film production, tanning, mineral processing, metallurgy, fiber, rubber, etc. It can also be used as a detergent and fire extinguishing agent, as a fermenting agent in the food industry, and in inorganic synthesis and pharmaceutical industry for the treatment of acidemia. It can be directly used as a raw material in the pharmaceutical industry. It can also be used for film production, tanning, mineral processing, smelting, metal heat treatment, fiber, rubber, and agricultural soaking. At the same time, it can also be used as detergent, foam extinguishing agent and bath agent for wool.
