Baking powder is the leavening agent composed primarily of sodium bicarbonate and one or more leavening acids with or without starch and/or wheat flour as a carrier. The baking powder of gases occurs when chemical leaveners break down in the presence of moisture or heat, giving off gases. It is used as a quick leavening agent for cakes, cookies and other baked goods, which can make the product softer or crispier.

Baking powder can be divided into three types based on the speed of their reaction: slow-acting baking powder, fast-acting baking powder, and double-acting baking powder.

Double-acting baking powder is the most common type, as it begins to react as soon as it is dissolved in water and releases even more gas during heating, helping baked goods to rise even more. It is widely used in a variety of baked goods.

Fast-acting baking powder begins to react quickly as soon as it is dissolved in water, but does not have a significant reaction during heating. This helps prevent the surface of baked goods, such as doughnuts, from cracking under sudden high-temperature conditions.

Slow-acting baking powder requires heat in order to achieve its leavening effect. In some cases, users prefer slow-acting baking powder because it allows bakers to mix the batter ahead of time and bake it the next day or even freeze the batter for an extended period of time before baking, without worrying about the leavening action occurring too quickly. Ultimately, the quality of the final baked product can be just as good as that achieved with fast-acting or double-acting baking powder using traditional production processes.

Next, let us introduce Angel slow acting baking powder from the following aspects.

1. Slow reaction rate

Angel slow-acting baking powder is formulated with a slow-reacting acidic salt, which produces very little gas during the mixing stage and only releases a large amount of gas during the baking stage.

2. Improving batter stability and product consistency

Angel slow-acting baking powder produces very little gas in the early stages of mixing, and the batter made with it undergoes relatively little change after being left to stand for a long time. This improves the stability of the batter and the consistency of the final product.

3. Suitable for use in frozen batters and dough

Frozen the muffin batter for 30 days, and then baked it after defrosting. The muffin made with Angel slow acting baking powder has larger volume and more delicate texture.
