The Versatility of Sodium Bicarbonate
By on Oct 25th 2024
Sodium Bicarbonate, commonly
known as baking soda,
is a versatile ingredient with countless uses, making it a go-to for many
household and personal care needs. Whether you're whipping up a simple cleaning solution, looking to
enhance post-workout recovery, or baking cookies for the holidays, sodium bicarbonate can be a
game-changer. Here are some of its common applications:
Household, Industrial & Institutional (HI&I)
- Cleaning solutions
- Odor removal
- Glass cleaner
- Spill absorption
- Laundry whitener
At Ingredi, we offer two types of sodium bicarbonate: No.1 and No.5. The difference between them lies in particle size, which plays a crucial role depending on the application.
No.1
has a finer particle size, ideal for baking. It reacts quickly when exposed to heat, making it perfect for leavening baked goods. (Tip: Add a bit of acid like cream of tartar for even better leavening results!)
No.5
has a coarser particle size, which makes it more suited for industrial applications. Its slower reaction time allows it to be used for its abrasive properties in cleaning and other HI&I tasks.
Church and Dwight, known for their Arm & Hammer brand, has been a trusted name for over 178 years in the U.S. Their products are known for their quality and reliability, and they are widely used in a range of retail items today.
