What is the scientific name for baking powder?
Baking powder doesn't have a single scientific name, as it's a mixture of ingredients. The key ingredient is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), also known as baking soda.
Baking powder also contains acid (usually tartaric acid, cream of tartar, or monocalcium phosphate) and starch. The starch acts as a drying agent and prevents the ingredients from clumping together.
