Questions
• 3. Briefly explain , how the raising agents in question ( 1) work ( using the words : reaction
moisture and carbon dioxide)
• Raising agents are powders that are added to baking mixtures which react chemically to
release carbon dioxide. These gases are introduced before baking. When the product is cooked
the gases expand. The action of moisture, heat or acidity (or all three combined) creates a
reaction with the raising agent to produce gas bubbles
