      b Rate of reaction with NaHCO3 at room temperature.

      NV are used to determine the amount of acid needed to neutralize a given amount of NaHCO3. For example, if a formula specifies 20 kg of NaHCO3, the amount of SAS (NV = 104) required would be:

      Baking powders and recipes are generally formulated to give baked products with near‐neutral pHs. There are, however, some exceptions to this:

      1 Devil's Food Chocolate Cake. Excess sodium bicarbonate is added to give an alkaline pH in order for the chocolate to form the characteristic deep red color.

      2 Buttermilk products. Excess acid (in the form of buttermilk) is added to give the characteristic flavor.

      3 Pretzels and Gingerbread. Alkaline pHs are produced to accelerate nonenzymatic browning reactions which are important for the deep brown color.

      2.2.3 Leavening Rates

      The rates at which doughs are leavened are important determinants of the quality of baked products. Leavening rates in dough systems are influenced by a variety of factors including the types and concentrations of the leavening agents, temperature, the availability of water, and pressure [8].

      Source: Adapted from [9].

      Measurement of leavening rates must be carefully standardized with respect to temperature, time, agitation, and ingredients so that comparisons between laboratories and experiments will be valid [10]. The examples of leavening rates given above serve to illustrate the fact that rates differ considerably among leavening systems. It should be remembered that leavening rates for a given leavening acid can be manipulated by applying coatings and changing particle size. Also, other ingredients in the batter or dough may affect leavening rates. Thus, when purchasing leavening acids from suppliers, it is important to specify the leavening rate needed for a particular application.

      2.2.4 Effect of Leavening Acid on Dough Rheology

      Cations and anions from chemical leaveners may alter the elastic and viscous properties of the dough and the texture and resiliency of the crumb. Calcium and aluminum ions can prevent coalescence of air bubbles into larger cells so that the structure of the finished product remains fine. Thus, two leavening acids with similar leavening rates may produce products with different textures.
