BAKING POWDER, double acting, Alu & GMO free

Ingredients: Monocalcium Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate, non-genetically modified Cornstarch Aluminium free, Sulfur dioxide free, Preservative free, GMO-free Origin: CanadaBaking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used for increasing the volume and lightening the texture of baked goods. It is a mixture of a carbonate (usually Baking Soda or sodium bicarbonate) and a weak acid (monocalcium phosphate) which works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture. Baking Powder itself is near pH neutral. The component in baking powder which helps to improve its consistency and stability is Cornstarch as it absorbs moisture and thus prolongs shelf life by keeping the alkaline and acidic components dry so as not to react with each other prematurely. Qualities: double acting baking powder has either two different acidic components (a fast-acting, low temperature releasing acid
