Difference between baking powder without aluminum and with aluminum

Component difference, safety difference.

1, the difference between the ingredients: baking powder with aluminum usually contains alum, that is, potassium aluminum sulfate, this ingredient has a certain expansion effect, is the main ingredient of the traditional baking powder, aluminum-free baking powder is the main ingredient of the composite bulking agent, does not contain alum, and its ingredients include corn starch, flour, activated bicarbonate of soda and so on.

2, safety difference: non-aluminum baking powder in the production of baked goods is relatively safer, because it does not contain aluminum, less impact on health, while the long-term use of alum-containing baking powder will have some impact on health, especially for pregnant women, the elderly and children.
