Biological leavening are microorganisms that release carbon dioxide as part of their lifecycle can be used to leaven products. Varieties of yeast are most often used. Other biological leaveners are beer, buttermilk, ginger beer, sourdough starter and yogurt.
A biological leavening agent is a substance that causes dough or batter to rise through the fermentation process, primarily by producing carbon dioxide gas. Common examples include yeast and certain bacteria, such as those used in sourdough. These microorganisms consume sugars and release gases, which create bubbles in the dough, resulting in a lighter and airier texture in baked goods. Unlike chemical leaveners, biological agents rely on living organisms to achieve leavening.
