The sodium aluminum phosphate, which is a primary ingredient in baking powder, is used as a leavening agent, an acid and/or a buffer in baking. (Some flour includes it.) There is some chemistry involved here, and the baker is a applied chemist in that light. Probably the pimary action of baking powder we are familiar with is the production (when combined with other ingredients) of carbon dioxide to cause bread and other goods to "rise" during preparation and baking. A link can be found below, and if you're serious about baking, you'll read it all. There is no test at the end, but you'll let the information "wash over you" as you read. And come away more aware of what you are doing in the kitchen, and why you are doing it. Who doesn't want to be a more "educated" or informed baker?

What food is aluminum phosphate in?
Aluminum phosphate is commonly used as a leavening agent in baking powder, which is used in a variety of baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and breads.
Is sodium aluminum phosphate toxic in baked goods?
There are many studies showing that sodium aluminum phosphate may stay in the brain and cause alzheimers. The less processed food you eat the better off you will be. Many deodorants* have aluminum in them as well. *A lot of deodorants do not have aluminum. Almost all anti-perspirants do.
Is Mono calcium phosphate a milk by product?
I have the allergy that is like an auto-immune disorder to milk. I am trying to figure out where the various calcium additives that are found in so many foods comes from.
What are 3 facts about aluminum?
ALUMINUM is the spelling used in the US. Elsewhere it is spelled ALUMINIUM.Aluminum is a lightweight metal, the most common metal in Earth's outer crust.The name "aluminum" comes from the Latin word, alumenmeaning "alum" which is potassium aluminum sulfate, a common hydrated base.Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity, resists corrosion, and can be hammered into thin layers (aluminum foil). Polished aluminum is highly reflective.Its weight and durability led to its use in the major structural components of modern passenger aircraft. It is, however, relatively fragile compared to steel, titanium, or advanced carbon fibers that are also used in this role.Aluminum is easily recycled from commercial and consumer goods to make new products. In the environment, the metal is slowly degraded back into mineral forms.
How do you make sodium acetate taste good?
Sodium acetate itself is not typically consumed as a food ingredient due to its chemical taste. To make it taste better, you can combine it with other ingredients in a recipe to mask its flavor, such as in a sauce or dressing, or use it as a seasoning sparingly in dishes like soups or stews.

Is baking soda a nitrate or phosphate?
Baking soda is neither a nitrate nor a phosphate. It is a compound known as sodium bicarbonate, which is used in baking as a leavening agent to help baked goods rise.
AlPO4 is a acid or base?
AlPO4 in chemistry is the compound, aluminum phosphate. It is used in cake mixes and in some baking powders as a leavening agent to help baked goods rise. Medicinally it is used as adsorbent for toxoid. It is also used industrially as a high-temperature dehydrating agent. When strongly heated, aluminum phosphate decomposes into aluminum oxide and phosphorus pentoxide, the latter of which is very effective at absorbing water. It is a white crystalline powder, that has a molar mass of 121.95 g/mol
How does the presence of sodium in baking soda affect its effectiveness in baking?
The presence of sodium in baking soda helps it react with acidic ingredients in baking, producing carbon dioxide gas that helps baked goods rise. This reaction is essential for the leavening process in baking, making the baked goods light and fluffy.
Is club aluminum harmful to your body?
If you're referring to aluminum baseball bats, probably not. Very little aluminum is transferred to the hands from bats, especially when using gloves during play. It is worth noting that for most people, the largest amount of aluminum enters the body through eating baked goods (bread, cakes, doughnuts) that use aluminum phosphate as part of their ingredients to increase rising of the dough. If you cook at home, you can also purchase aluminum-free baking powder yourself.
