What is Sodium Bicarbonate?

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), commonly known as baking soda, is a white, crystalline, and highly versatile inorganic compound.
Its unique chemical properties make it essential across a wide variety of industries, from food processing and agriculture to pharmaceutical, industrial, and environmental applications.
Continental supplies Food, Feed, and Technical grades, all produced to meet strict quality and consistency standards.

End Uses of Sodium Bicarbonate

Sodium Bicarbonate has an exceptionally broad application range. Some of the major end-use sectors include:

Food & Beverage

  • Baking
  • pH regulator
  • Effervescent beverages and drink mixes

 Animal Nutrition & Agriculture

  • Feed additive
  • pH stability
  • Dairy

Pharmaceutical & Personal Care

  • Antacid formulations
