Detailed explanation-1: -Bases are usually soapy in nature. Baking soda is a base with the chemical formula $ NaHCO 3 $ . It is sodium bicarbonate and just like other bases has a bitter taste. Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is widely used in baking.
Detailed explanation-2: -Formally known as sodium bicarbonate, it’s a white crystalline powder that is naturally alkaline, or basic (1). Baking soda becomes activated when it’s combined with both an acidic ingredient and a liquid. Upon activation, carbon dioxide is produced, which allows baked goods to rise and become light and fluffy (1).
Detailed explanation-3: -The purpose of baking soda in baked goods is to react with an acid and produce bubbles that puff up the food. The acid that is usually used is vinegar or citric acid from a fruit. If too much baking soda is added, first of all it will taste terrible and have a “soapy” taste.
