I do not think so, its a mineral salt
Answer:
Baking powder is a dry chemical that releases carbon dioxide when used in baking. It acts as a leavening agent. Baking powders are made up of an alkaline component (typically baking soda), one or more acid salts. Alum (pronounced ( formula KAl(SO4)2.12H2O) is one of the acid producing salts that may be present in baking powder.
While alum is preset in baking powder it will not by itself produce carbon dioxide and will have no leavening impact on the baking.
