Leavening Agents

Ammonium Bicarbonate

Ammonium bicarbonate is a traditional leavening agent that decomposes completely during baking, leaving no residue.

Baking Powder

Baking powder is a leavening mixture typically containing sodium bicarbonate, cream of tartar (or other acid), and cornstarch.

Glucono Delta Lactone

Glucono delta lactone (GDL) slowly releases acid when dissolved, used as a leavening acid and acidifier.

Monocalcium Phosphate

Monocalcium phosphate (MCP) is a leavening agent and dough conditioner.

Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate

Sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP) is a leavening agent and color stabilizer.

Sodium Acid Sulfate

Sodium acid sulfate (sodium bisulfate) is an acidic salt used as an acidifier and leavening acid.

Sodium Aluminum Phosphate

Sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP) is a slow-acting leavening acid used in baking powders and prepared mixes.

Sodium Aluminum Sulfate

Sodium aluminum sulfate (SAS) is a leavening acid that reacts primarily during baking, providing late-stage leavening.
