What is the function of MACP when making cake?
Its used as a leavening agent that help in raising the volume of bakery products by reacting with alkaline ingredients such as baking soda. Also the Calcium and Phosphate increase the nutritional value of the final product
Does baking soda contain phosphate?
no
What is baking soda mostly made of?
There are many recipies/formulations of baking power, but all have in common: An Alkali, such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda); An Acid in the form of salt crystals, like calcium phosphate; Starch, to keep the powder dry. Double-acting baking powder will have two types of acid salts, one for room-temperature reaction, and another (like calcium aluminum phosphate) for reaction during baking. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baking_powder
Is Kroger brand baking powder double-acting?
Here are the ingredients for double-acting baking powder -- if yours has these ingredients, then it's double-acting. (My can of Kroger baking powder is.) Double Acting Baking Powder Ingredients: Corn Starch Bicarbonate of Soda Sodium Aluminum Sulfate Acid Phosphate of Calcium
Is baking powder an acid or an alkali?
Baking powder is an alkali Actually baking powder is a blend of both acid and alkali. It generally contains acids such as calcium acid phosphate, sodium aluminum sulfate or cream of tartar and the alkali sodium bicarbonate also known as baking soda. It's due to this blend that, after coming into contact with a liquid it is able to create carbon dioxide bubbles which are used as for leavening in baking.
Does dihydrogen monoxide react with baking soda?
I think they mix water and baking soda all the time, but reacting, I do not know. NaHCO3 + H2O --> ??? I do not see a reaction here, but perhaps some kind of mixture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dihydrogen monoxide is water. It is one of the byproducts of mixing acid and baking soda. It will not react with baking soda. Either the person who asked this question is trying to mess the people who answer questions, or someone else is messing with him.
Can baking soda be used to raise calcium i n pools?
Baking soda does not contain any calcium. It can raise the pH of pools but it can not raise the level of calcium.
How do you use anti caking agent 341?
All I can tell you is that 341, Is Calcium PhosphateFrom wikipediaCalcium dihydrogen phosphate is also used in the food industry as a leavening agent to cause baked goods to rise. Because it is acidic, when combined with an alkali ingredient - commonly sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or potassium bicarbonate - it reacts to produce carbon dioxide and a salt. The carbon dioxide gas is what leavens the baked good. When combined in a ready-made baking powder, the acid and alkali ingredients are included in the right proportions such that they will exactly neutralize each other and not significantly affect the overall pH of the product.Apart from acting as leavening agent, it also inhibits microbial activity because of the phosphate ions present in the molecule"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_dihydrogen_phosphate
What is the function of an baking tin?
