What it is
A raising agent in baking powder and self-raising flour, and a stabiliser in processed meat.
What it does
Raising agent
Releases gas so a dough or batter rises.
Acidity regulator
Controls how acidic or alkaline a food is.
Emulsifying salt
Keeps the proteins in cheese evenly dispersed so it melts smoothly.
Stabiliser
Keeps a mixture from separating over time.
Regulatory position
European Union
Authorised for use in food
Authorisation in one country says nothing about another, and the absence of a record here is not evidence either way. Where precision matters, follow the citation to the regulation itself.
