Bakers combine bicarbonate with leavening acids that react at different speeds to control rise. Salt, powdered milk, spices and sugar need anti-caking agents to flow freely, while glazing agents give confectionery and fruit a shine and moisture barrier. Some processing aids, such as enzymes and filtration aids, are used during processing and are not present in the final food in functional amounts.

Ask for the food grade specification, assay, rate of reaction for leavening acids, particle size, heavy metal limits and food safety certificates. Aluminium-containing leavening acids are restricted in some markets, so phosphate-only systems are increasingly requested.
