Baking Soda

Baking powder is used instead of yeast  for end-products where  fermentation flavors would be undesirable,  where the batter lacks the elastic structure to hold gas bubbles for more than a few minutes,  and to speed the production of baked goods. Because carbon dioxide is released at a faster rate through the acid-base reaction than through fermentation, breads made by chemical leavening are called  quick breads. The introduction of baking powder was revolutionary in minimizing the time and labor required to make breadstuffs. It led to the creation of new types of cakes, cookies, biscuits, and other baked goods.
