It is an acid source for reaction with baking soda to leaven baked goods. [4] In baking powder, it is often labeled as food additive E450. [ 5 ] In cured meats , it speeds the conversion of sodium nitrite to nitrite ( NO − 2 ) by forming the nitrous acid (HONO) intermediate, [ clarification needed ] and can improve water-holding capacity.
