  2. Monocalcium phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocalcium_phosphate

    Monocalcium phosphate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca(H 2 PO 4) 2 ("AMCP" or "CMP-A" for anhydrous monocalcium phosphate). It is commonly found as the monohydrate ("MCP" or "MCP-M"), Ca(H 2 PO 4) 2 ·H 2 O. Both salts are colourless solids. They are used mainly as superphosphate fertilizers and are also popular leavening ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucono-δ-lactone

    Gluconolactone is a food additive with the E-number E575 [5] used as a sequestrant, an acidifier, [6] or a curing, pickling, or leavening agent. It is a lactone of D-gluconic acid. Pure GDL is a white odorless crystalline powder. GDL has been marketed for use in feta cheese. [7]

  4. Leavening agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levain

    The breakthrough in chemical leavening agents occurred in the 1930s with the introduction of monocalcium phosphates (Ca(H 2 PO 4) 2). Other leavening agents developed include sodium aluminium sulfate (NaAl(SO 4) 2 ·12H 2 O), disodium pyrophosphate (Na 2 H 2 P 2 O 7), and sodium aluminium phosphates (NaH 14 Al 3 (PO 4) 8 ·4H 2 O and Na 3 H 15 ...

  6. Baking powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baking_powder

    Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent, a mixture of a carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid. The base and acid are prevented from reacting prematurely by the inclusion of a buffer such as cornstarch. Baking powder is used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods.

  7. Ammonium carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_carbonate

    Ammonium carbonate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula [N H 4] 2 C O 3. It is an ammonium salt of carbonic acid. It is composed of ammonium cations [NH 4] + and carbonate anions CO 2− 3. Since ammonium carbonate readily degrades to gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide upon heating, it is used as a leavening agent and also as ...

  8. Leaching (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaching_(chemistry)

    Biological substances can experience leaching themselves, [2] as well as be used for leaching as part of the solvent substance to recover heavy metals. [6] Many plants experience leaching of phenolics, carbohydrates, and amino acids, and can experience as much as 30% mass loss from leaching, [5] just from sources of water such as rain, dew, mist, and fog.
