Sodium bicarbonate in food and poultry feed additives

Sodium bicarbonate can be directly used as raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry to treat the hyperacidity. Besides, it can also be used to film producers, leather tanning, dressing, smelting, metal heat treatment, as well as fiber and rubber industries. Also it is used as a wool detergent, as well as agricultural seed soaking and so on. It is one of the most extensive bulking agent in food industry used in the production of biscuits, cakes, bread, bread, etc. It can also be used as butter preservatives.

Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, are white crystalline powders, odorless, salty, easily soluble in water, is alkaline. Using sodium bicarbonate as feed additives for poultry can effectively raise poultry feed digestibility, utilization, energy efficiency, accelerate the absorption and utilization of nutrients as well as the discharge of harmful substances, it has significant effects to improve poultry body's resistance to stress and promote growth, increase egg production and improve the quality of egg shell.



Sodium bicarbonate is very close to neutral weak alkali at room temperature, if heating its solid or aqueous solutions to 50 ℃ above, it can be converted to sodium carbonate, they are irritating and corrosive to people.

Sodium bicarbonate is one of the most common organism pH regulator, diets supplemented with sodium bicarbonate helps to strengthen the body's buffer force. Poultry feeds are usually with corn as raw material, accounted for about 60% of the diet, so it is inevitably produce acid in the metabolic process. Sodium bicarbonate can neutralize stomach acid, dissolves mucus, reduce the viscosity of the liquid and enhance gastrointestinal absorption, meanwhile, sodium bicarbonate is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract into the blood can neutralize acid in the blood, thereby reducing the acidity of the blood and maintain acid-base balance of body fluids.

There are some dos and don'ts about sodium bicarbonate. It should be store in a dry and ventilated indoor warehouse, it needs to prevent bag broken or loose bags. Food grade sodium bicarbonate should not have storage with toxic substances, it needs to prevent from pollution and damp, and isolated from the acid product. It is used in food industry starter, steam-carbon dioxide generating agent, butter and cold preservatives. As well as a detergent for wool, foam extinguishing agent, agricultural seed soaking and so on. It is applied to the production of acid, alkali fire extinguisher and foam fire extinguisher in fire-fighting equipment. It is the raw material used as antacid in pharmaceutical industry.
