Bicarbonate of soda (aka sodium bicarbonate) is the alkaline that is found in commercial baking powder along with the inert ingredient corn starch primarily used to absorb moisture and prolong shelf life and an acid which can be either fast acting, slow acting or (for most commercial baking powder) both to create a "double acting" baking powder.
