Baking powder: an unpopular but indispensable additive in baking
When it comes to additives, we all change color. Additives are a synonym for viruses in our lives, but for food producers, sometimes additives are indeed necessary. In fact, we don't need to talk about discoloration, because as long as it is within the scope of national regulations, this kind of thing is like our side dishes, which will make our products richer and harmless to the body.
With the gradual enrichment of the people’s daily life, cakes are not only desserts that can only be enjoyed on birthdays. Holiday celebrations, housewarming and promotion... will make cakes come in handy. Today, the author is here with everyone to talk about the additive in the cake making process-baking powder.
Baking powder is a white powder made of soda powder mixed with other acidic materials and corn flour as a filler. Baking powder reacts when it comes into contact with water. The acidic and alkaline powders dissolve in water at the same time. Some of them will start to release carbon dioxide. At the same time, during the baking and heating process, more gas will be released, which will make the product reach Swelling and soft effect.
Baking powder is not a necessity for cake making, but it is not enough without it, especially for some heavy oil cakes.
There are so many varieties of baking powder on the market, there are so many, but how to evaluate the effect of a kind of baking powder? The four-character formula of "more, faster, better, and less" is a more direct and objective evaluation method.
One, the so-called "many". It means that baking powder produces more gas.
Second, the so-called "fast" means that the baking powder should be effective and fluffy when applied.
Third, the so-called "good", of course, refers to the application effect.
Four. The so-called "saving" is based on the application cost. No matter how cheap a kind of baking powder, the price is low, but if the dosage is large enough to be effective, the cost of use will definitely be high. The condition of saving the dosage will naturally become a factor in investigating the application effect of baking powder.
There is potassium alum in the ingredients of baking powder. Excessive consumption of potassium alum has a certain toxic effect on the human body. It is medically proven that it is not suitable for long-term consumption of large amounts, otherwise it will lead to osteoporosis, anemia, and even affect the development of nerve cells and cause old age. Sexual dementia. However, many alum-free formula products are now available on the market, such as disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, gluconolactone, etc. instead of alum as the souring agent for baking powder. Bakery shops should also pay attention to its ingredients when buying.
