Sodium bicarbonate :
Baking soda is one of the most widely used leaveners in baked goods. This simple chemical compound, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is found in crystalline form in nature but is ground to a fine powder for use in cooking.
How Does Baking Soda Work?
Baking soda is an alkaline compound that, when combined with an acid, will produce carbon dioxide gas. The small bubbles of carbon dioxide gas become trapped in batter, causing it to inflate, or rise. Common acids used to cause this reaction include vinegar, lemon juice, buttermilk, yogurt, and cream of tartar.
Baking soda will also produce gas upon decomposition caused by heat. No acid is necessary for this reaction to take place, only exposure to temperatures above 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit).
