The active ingredient in pearlash was potassium carbonate ( K 2 CO 3). Combining it with an acidic ingredient like sour milk or lemon juice resulted in a chemical reaction that produced carbon dioxide. [18]

BAKE IT WITH ROYAL AND BE SURE

Royal, however, was soon facing another PR concern. After the bribery scandal, it was discovered that the company had actually been using alum in its baking powders that were sold in the South. Zeigler died in 1905, and in 1929, the Royal Baking Powder Corporation merged with Fleischmann Company (the makers of the yeast brand) and two additional food production companies to form Standard Brands.

Place on the middle shelf of the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes*, or until the loaf turns a golden brown colour. Whether commercially or domestically prepared, the principles behind baking powder formulations remain the same. The acid-base reaction can be generically represented as shown: [7] NaHCO 3 + H + → Na + + CO 2 + H 2OThe real reactions are more complicated because the acids are complicated. For example, starting with baking soda and monocalcium phosphate, the reaction produces carbon dioxide by the following stoichiometry: [6] 14 NaHCO 3 + 5 Ca(H 2PO 4) 2 → 14 CO 2 + Ca 5(PO 4) 3OH + 7 Na 2HPO 4 + 13 H 2O Monocalcium phosphate ("MCP") is a common acid component in domestic baking powders.
