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?

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
