• Baking powders for cakes, muffins, biscuits/crackers;
tortillas/flatbreads (fast gas release). • Pairs with sodium bicarbonate; combine with SAPP/SALP for double‑acting systems. |
• 25 kg PE‑lined bags • 50 lb bags • 1000 kg jumbo
bags. • Small packs for R&D and QC trials. |
• Non‑DG. Store cool/dry, sealed; avoid humidity and
contact with alkali before mixing. • Pre‑blend with flour/sugars; for encapsulated grades, avoid high shear before bake. |
