What is the principle behind the use of raising agents?
Raising agents are used in baking to introduce air or gas into a mixture, causing it to expand and rise during baking. This process creates a lighter, softer texture in baked goods such as cakes, muffins, and bread. The main principles behind raising agents are to create leavening, which helps dough or batter to rise and become fluffy.

Do raising agents contain yeast?
Raising agents can include yeast, but not all of them do. Yeast is a biological raising agent that ferments sugars, producing carbon dioxide and causing dough or batter to rise. Other types of raising agents, such as baking powder and baking soda, are chemical leavening agents that create gas through chemical reactions. Therefore, while yeast is a common raising agent, it is just one of several options available for leavening baked goods.
