Chiltan Pure Baking powder is a versatile leavening agent just like baking soda, which is used in bakery goods to create carbon dioxide on the batter and to make bread, dough, and pastries fluffy and soft. Baking powder is a combination of baking soda as a base and a moisture absorber like corn starch and a weak acid. When it is mixed in wet ingredients, a chemical reaction occurs inside of the batter due to an acid-base reaction, and the dough rises in the form of bubbles and expands like a balloon. When air is filled inside, it acts as a single-acting agent and a double-acting agent. It reacts when it is mixed in a moisture mixture, and it reacts double when it is heated. For instance, in ovens, when cakes, biscuits, or any bakery good is baked, the texture becomes airy and fluffy, and it becomes double in size due to the right amount of baking soda. It provides a soft, airy texture to the bakery goods, has a neutral taste, and does not require any acidic reaction like baking soda.

To test if baking powder is still active, add a small amount to warm water. If it bubbles actively, it's fresh and ready for use.
