Product Description – Sodium Bicarbonate

Sodium Bicarbonate, commonly known as Baking Soda or Bicarbonate of Soda, is a white crystalline alkaline powder with the chemical formula NaHCO₃. It is valued for its buffering, neutralizing, leavening, and mild cleaning properties.

Food manufacturers and bakeries use food-grade material as a leavening agent. When it reacts with suitable acidic ingredients, it releases carbon dioxide, which helps dough and batter rise.

Detergent and cleaning-product manufacturers use the compound for pH adjustment, mild alkalinity, deodorizing, and formulation purposes. Water-treatment operations can also use suitable grades for alkalinity and pH management.

Different specifications are available for food, feed, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. Customers should select a grade that meets the regulatory and technical requirements of their intended use.

Sanvil Industries Ltd supplies Sodium Bicarbonate for commercial and industrial applications throughout East Africa.

Applications of Sodium Bicarbonate

1. Baking and Bakery Products

Food-grade material acts as a leavening agent in cakes, biscuits, cookies, breads, pastries, and other suitable baked products.

2. Food Processing

Manufacturers use E500(ii) as an acidity regulator, raising agent, and processing ingredient in approved food formulations.

3. Detergent Manufacturing

Cleaning-product manufacturers incorporate the compound into selected powder and liquid formulations for alkalinity and pH control.

4. Household and Industrial Cleaning

Its mild alkalinity and fine-powder form make it useful in appropriately formulated surface cleaners, deodorizing products, and cleaning compounds.

5. Water Treatment

Treatment professionals use suitable grades to increase alkalinity and help stabilize pH in certain water-treatment processes.

6. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Pharmaceutical-grade material serves as an ingredient in selected products where buffering or acid-neutralizing properties are required.

7. Animal Feed

Appropriately specified feed-grade material is used in certain animal nutrition applications according to professional formulations and applicable regulations.

8. Personal Care Products

Manufacturers incorporate suitable grades into selected oral-care, bath, deodorizing, and personal-care formulations.

9. Chemical Manufacturing

Chemical formulators use the compound as a mild alkaline ingredient, buffering agent, and processing material.

10. Industrial Processing

Industries use appropriate specifications for pH adjustment, neutralization, process control, and other manufacturing requirements.

Always refer to the current SDS/MSDS and COA for the specific supplied product.

FAQs

Q1. What is Sodium Bicarbonate?

A: It is a mildly alkaline inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaHCO₃, commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda.

Q2. What is it mainly used for?

A: Major applications include baking, food processing, detergent manufacturing, cleaning, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, personal care, and industrial processing.

Q3. Is Sodium Bicarbonate the same as baking soda?

A: Yes. Baking soda is the common name for Sodium Bicarbonate. However, products intended for food use should meet the appropriate food-grade specification.

Q4. What is E500(ii)?

A: E500(ii) is the food additive designation for Sodium Bicarbonate when used according to applicable food regulations.

Q5. How does it work in baking?

A: It reacts with suitable acidic ingredients and releases carbon dioxide gas, which helps properly formulated doughs and batters rise.

Q6. Can it be used in detergent manufacturing?

A: Yes. Manufacturers use it in suitable cleaning formulations for mild alkalinity, buffering, deodorizing, and pH adjustment.

Q7. Can it be used for water treatment?

A: Yes. Suitable grades can help increase alkalinity and support pH management in professionally designed water-treatment processes.

Q8. Is it the same as Sodium Carbonate?

A: No. Sodium Bicarbonate is NaHCO₃, while Sodium Carbonate is Na₂CO₃. Sodium Carbonate generally provides stronger alkalinity.

Q9. Can I request a COA or TDS?

A: Yes. Applicable Certificates of Analysis, Technical Data Sheets, and Safety Data Sheets can be provided upon request.

Q10. Where does Sanvil Industries Ltd supply?
