Baking soda, baking powder, and yeast are all examples of __________
-
Fermentation
-
Leavening
-
Hydrates
-
Gases
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Baking soda, baking powder, and yeast are all examples of leavening agents. Leavening agents are substances that are used in baking to make dough or batter rise. They release gases, such as carbon dioxide, which create air pockets in the dough or batter, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture in the final baked product. Fermentation is a process that involves the breakdown of carbohydrates by microorganisms, such as yeast, to produce alcohol or carbon dioxide. Hydrates are compounds that contain water molecules. Therefore, the correct answer is leavening.
