Sodium bicarbonate is widely used in the food industry as a leavening agent in baking, where it reacts with acids to produce carbon dioxide, causing dough to rise. In the pharmaceutical sector, it is employed as an antacid to relieve heartburn and indigestion. Additionally, it serves as a mild base reagent in analytical chemistry, facilitating various chemical reactions and processes. Beyond these applications, sodium bicarbonate is also used in personal care products, cleaning agents, and as a pH regulator in swimming pools.
