Sodium Bicarbonate (Food Grade) in Kenya

Sodium bicarbonate food grade is a widely used chemical in food and pharmaceutical industries, known for its leavening and pH buffering properties. It is commonly incorporated as a raising agent in bakery products, helping dough rise by releasing carbon dioxide upon heating. Additionally, it serves as an alkalinity regulator in acid neutralization processes essential in food preservation.

This grade meets stringent food safety standards, ensuring suitability for direct human consumption applications. It also plays a role in pharmaceutical tablet formulation as a buffering agent to enhance stability.

Handling sodium bicarbonate requires care to avoid moisture exposure as it is hygroscopic and can cake when wet. Packaging in 25 kg polyethylene bags protects it from humidity during transit and storage in cool, dry, and ventilated areas.
