Q. Which one of the following statement reading baking powder is not correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
Baking Powder – It is a dry chemical leavening agent, a mixture of a carbonate or bicarbonate, and a weak acid.
These baking acids are tartrate, phosphate, and sodium aluminium sulfate used alone or in combination.
It contains sodium bicarbonate. Hence, Option 4 is not correct.
It is used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods.
It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture.
