Leavening agents are naturally present in high-quality yeast in various forms. In addition to a lengthy application history, it is non-toxic, cost-effective, easy to obtain, and has good processability.

Leavening agents can be divided into three categories: inorganic leavening agents, organic leavening agents, and biological leavening agents. Inorganic leavening agents have the following properties: ①Low dose can produce more gas; ② The gas generation speed in the cold dough is slow, but faster when heating; ③its decomposition products do not affect the quality of products such as flavor and color.

Leavening agents play an essential role in food production. It can help food produce soft, spongy, porous tissue, making it delicious and expanded in dimension. Besides, it can make saliva quickly penetrate the tissues of the product during the chewing process, thereby exposing the soluble substances in the product and stimulating the taste nerves to reflect the flavor of the food promptly.
