Weifang Bell Chemical Co., Ltd is a top China Sodium Bicarbonate Manufacturer and Direct Supplier. Sodium bicarbonate is widely used in different industries. We manufacture food grade sodium bicarbonate, feed grade sodium bicarbonate, industrial grade sodium bicarbonate.
Application of Sodium Bicarbonate in Food
Cooking and Baking
Sodium bicarbonate is a versatile substance with many uses. It is commonly used in cooking and baking, of course, as a leavening agent. In the food industry, sodium bicarbonate is also used to manufacture things like candy, vinegar, yogurt, and carbonated beverages. It can be used to substitute baking soda. Its taste is similar but has a lower pH, so its leavening power is more significant. Sodium bicarbonate, when it comes into contact with an acid, it produces carbon dioxide gas. This gas is trapped by the batter, which inflates when heated.
Meat Curing
Sodium bicarbonate industrial uses can be found in beef jerky, hams, and bacon. In the case of meat curing, sodium bicarbonate is added to the combination of salt and nitrates to help keep the meats from spoiling. The mixture of salt and sodium bicarbonate serves as a natural alternative to phosphates used in some meat products because it enhances the taste of the product without needing additional ingredients or cooking methods. The compounds work together to extend shelf life and prevent bacterial growth that could lead to spoilage. The anti-microbial properties of sodium bicarbonate make it an ideal additive for meats that need to be preserved.
Beverage
- Sodium Bicarbonate can be used as PH regulator, and leavening agent in beverages. Sodium Bicarbonate can also be used in sports drink.
Application of Sodium Bicarbonate in Feed
- Sodium bicarbonate plays an important role in animal nutrition today. Primarily used as a dairy cow feed supplement, the buffering capability of Natural Soda’s pure and natural feed grade sodium bicarbonate helps stabilize rumen pH by reducing acidic conditions. Our pure and natural sodium bicarbonate is trusted by dairymen and nutritionists due to its excellent buffering capabilities and superior palatability.
- Sodium bicarbonate is also fed as a partial replacement for salt in poultry rations. Broiler Operations find that sodium bicarbonate provides an alternative source of sodium that assists with litter control by providing drier litter and a healthier living environment.
Application of Sodium Bicarbonate in other industries
Fire extinguishers
- Sodium Bicarbonate is the main ingredient of fire-extinguishing dry powders and hand-held versatile fire extinguishers designed for fighting different types of fires in homes, offices or vehicles.
Metal Polishing
- Metal polishing is a process used to remove surface scratches from metals and make them shiny again. Sodium bicarbonate has found its way into industrial applications as an abrasive compound for manual metal polishing due to its low-cost, easy availability and good effectiveness as an abrasive agent. It is used in a process called as soda blasting to remove corrosion.
Water Treatment
- The process of water treatment involves removing impurities from water and making it safe for consumption. Water purifiers remove heavy metals, toxins, bacteria, and other contaminants from tap water. They can be installed at your home or business to improve the quality of your tap water, which makes it good to drink and use in everyday tasks like food preparation or washing dishes. Sodium Bicarbonate industrial uses help reduce wastewater in landfills by preventing toxic substances from leaching into the soil around them.
Personal Care Product
- Sodium bicarbonate industrial uses is most commonly found in personal care products. In the personal care industry, sodium bicarbonate is used to aid in cleansing the skin. Since it is a mild alkaline, it can help neutralize acidic substances on the skin, such as sweat or other secretions. It is also used as a buffer solution to maintain pH stability within specific ranges. Additionally, it is used in hair care products, as well. Hair product manufacturers use sodium bicarbonate because of its ability to bind with oils and fats. About 50 % of sodium bicarbonate is used for household purposes.
Pharmaceuticals
- Sodium bicarbonate is a white crystalline powder frequently used as a pharmaceutical ingredient. It is an alkaline component and can be used to formulate oral and topical products. Sodium bicarbonate improves shelf life and enhances the taste for many drug products. It can also be used as an anti-tartar agent or mask unpleasant tastes in oral products. It has been used in toothpaste, mouthwash, chewing gum and throat lozenges. Medical uses: Can be used to treat heartburn and acid indigestion along with water. Used for treatment in case of an overdose of aspirin. Can be used to get relieved from some insect bites and stings. Sodium bicarbonate can be used to get relieved from some plants allergy. It is also used to remove splinters from the skin.
Tanning Leather
- Sodium bicarbonate is commonly used in tanning leather. The process of tanning leather replaces the protein and fat source (hide) of a hide with chemicals that preserve its form, allowing for prolonged use. This process begins by soaking the leather in a solution of sodium bicarbonate and water for approximately nine days. The sodium bicarbonate helps loosen the hair follicles and remove dirt from the hide, then pulled out by hand. After this step, the leather is rinsed off and dried by mechanically relaxing it. Then it is soaked in a mixture of lime and water for several hours or days at room temperature. The lime helps harden the skin while making the hide easier to work with. Finally, a tanning agent such as alum or salts may be added to preserve the hide’s form further.
Pest control
It can be used to kill insects like cockroaches and can be used to control fungal growth.
