So, what is difosfaat?

Difosfaat, also known as diphosphate, is a food ingredient commonly used as a leavening agent in baked goods such as cakes, breads, and pastries. It's a chemical compound consisting of two phosphate groups linked together, which helps to release carbon dioxide gas when heated in the presence of an acid. This process causes the dough or batter to rise and creates a light texture in the final product. Difosfaat is generally recognized as safe by regulatory bodies, but some individuals may have sensitivities to it. As with any food additive, it's important to consume difosfaat in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
