ARM & HAMMER™: Partnering with Bakers Since 1846
For more than 174 years, we've teamed up with bakers to create tailor-made
leavening ingredients that can be used in a wide range of applications. Get
acquainted with ARM & HAMMER's™ lineup of Bicarbonates and learn why bakers
consistently turn to our products to get the job done.

BIGGER IS BETTER
Sodium Bicarbonate comes in different
particle size distributions. For example, an
ARM & HAMMER™ Sodium Bicarbonate Grade
1 typically has a mean particle size of about
70 microns. Grade 2 has a mean particle size
of 90 microns. This may seem like a small
difference, but a Grade 2 crystal has much
less surface area, and exposed surface area
is where the leavening reaction takes place.
Less surface area equals better stability. ARM
& HAMMER™ also offers Sodium Bicarbonate
grade 4 which has the same 90-micron

particle size, but a more narrowly defined size
cut so there are fewer fine particles present.

SEPARATION AND ENCAPSULATION
Maintaining distance between the reactive
leavening components helps to avoid prereaction. A classic example of this is the
typical baking powder. These formulations
have significant amounts of a diluent such as
corn starch or calcium carbonate that make
the baking powder easier to measure, but it
also keeps the leavening acid and Bicarbonate
relatively far away from each other.
