Popular questions
What does baking soda do?
It’s a leavening agent (sodium bicarbonate) that releases carbon dioxide when it reacts with acids, helping batters and doughs rise. It also raises pH, which can enhance browning and mellow acidity.
What's the difference between baking soda and baking powder?
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate and needs an added acid to work; baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate plus acidic salts and usually starch. Most baking powders are double-acting, releasing gas when wet and again when heated.
Can i use baking soda instead of baking powder?
Yes—if you add an acid: for each 1 tsp baking powder, use about 1/4 tsp baking soda plus 1/2 tsp cream of tartar (or an equivalent acidic ingredient like lemon juice, yogurt, or buttermilk). Adjust liquids if using acidic liquids so the batter isn’t too wet.
Does baking soda go bad?
It doesn’t spoil, but it can lose leavening power after opening, especially if exposed to moisture or odors. For baking, replace about every 6 months after opening or test by adding some to vinegar/hot water—vigorous fizz means it’s still active.
Can i use baking powder instead of baking soda?
Often, yes: use roughly 3 times as much baking powder as baking soda (1 tsp soda ≈ 3 tsp powder). Because powder already includes acid and starch, reduce other acidic ingredients if needed, and expect slight changes in flavor or texture.
Calcium peroxide – what it is: bleaching agent and dough conditioner?
Calcium peroxide (E930) is a synthetic flour treatment agent that releases oxygen, acting as a bleaching agent to whiten flour and as a dough conditioner to strengthen gluten and improve texture. It is used at very low levels and is almost insoluble in water.
Calcium peroxide how long has this chemical been around?
It has been known since the early 20th century, with food-related uses (e.g., flour treatment) established for several decades. Its approval and use vary by country.
How do you use baking soda and peroxide on granite counter tops to remove calcium?
That method typically refers to hydrogen peroxide, not calcium peroxide (E930); calcium peroxide is a food additive and not intended for stone cleaning—use granite-safe cleaners per the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do you use baking soda and peroxide on granite countertops to remove calcium?
This refers to hydrogen peroxide rather than calcium peroxide (E930); the food additive isn’t suitable for cleaning granite, so follow stone-care products and instructions instead.
How do you use dental calcium peroxide paste with idofrm?
Dental pastes commonly use calcium hydroxide with iodoform, not calcium peroxide; E930 is a flour treatment additive and should not be used for dental applications—follow product labeling or a dentist’s guidance.
