Sodium Bicarbonate Powder 99% - Food Additive & Pharmaceutical Grade Supplier

This product offers sodium bicarbonate powder with a purity as high as 99%, meticulously differentiated to simultaneously meet the highest specifications for both food additive and pharmaceutical grades. For food additive applications, it complies with the Chinese GB 1886.2 National Food Safety Standard or equivalent international regulations, ensuring hygiene and safety throughout the entire process from raw material to finished product. Its core mechanism of action in food systems lies in its decomposition upon heating or reaction with acids to produce carbon dioxide. This property is precisely utilized to control food texture, volume, and taste. For instance, in chocolate and cocoa products, it neutralizes natural acidity developed during fermentation, improving flavor; in powdered products like milk powder and non-dairy creamer, minor additions act as an anti-caking agent, maintaining free-flowing properties. As a pharmaceutical-grade raw material, this product must meet more stringent standards such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), or Chinese Pharmacopoeia. This implies that beyond high chemical purity, there are explicit limits for microbial counts, solution clarity and color, and control of specific impurities (e.g., ammonium salts, carbonates). In the pharmaceutical field, sodium bicarbonate is a fundamental and crucial Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and excipient. Orally administered, it rapidly neutralizes stomach acid, relieving heartburn and indigestion, serving as the core component of many antacid medications. Injectable sodium bicarbonate is used to correct metabolic acidosis and alkalinize urine to enhance the excretion of certain drugs (e.g., salicylates). As an excipient in tablets and effervescent tablets, it acts as both a disintegrant and a gas-generating agent. Through a strict quality management system, we ensure every batch of powder product exhibits consistent particle size distribution, excellent flowability, and solubility, meeting the ultimate demands of food and pharmaceutical manufacturers for raw material uniformity, safety, and efficacy.
