Can i use eno instead of baking soda in baking soda volcano

Answered by admin @



Answer:

Eno is an effervescent antacid patent medicine introduced in the 1850s. It originally contained sodium bicarbonate (a/k/a baking soda), sodium bitartrate and free tartaric acid, which sort of made it a bit like baking powder. Today’s formulation contains sodium bicarbonate, citric acid and a touch of sodium carbonate, along with citrus fruit flavoring, kind of like an Alka Seltzer without aspirin.

But, yes, it will work like a double-acting baking powder with the initial release of carbon dioxide gas from the reaction of the acid with some of its two bases and then a second release from the remaining sodium salts in the heat of the oven. However, I can’t tell you how much to use relative to commercial baking powder.

I’m told that Eno is used in Indian cooking similarly to baking powder or to create bubbles in other recipes. Your inquiry prompted me to look Eno up on Amazon, and to my surprise, they still sell it and in various flavors. Wonders of the Internet.

Eno will not harm you if substituted for baking powder. Baking powder, however, is cheaper and the quantities in most baking recipes are written for it.
