Capitol Food Company Potassium Bicarbonate is an alkaline mineral available in supplement form. It is widely considered to be one of the best substitutes for baking soda in a recipe because it has the same leavening capabilities as baking soda but with one distinct difference: it does not contain any of the sodium that baking soda possesses.

Capitol Food Company 50 Grain Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid and trace chemicals that may include flavorings. In much of the vinegar industry, the term "grain" is used to measure the strength of vinegar. In this terminology, 50 grain refers to 5% acidity. The term "grain" comes from an alternate measure of weight, the grain. By dissolving a base like sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydroxide in water, you could measure how many grains it took to neutralize vinegar of a specific strength and volume. In the most common formulation, it took 10 grains (presumably of sodium hydroxide) to neutralize 1% acetic acid, so the usage of grains for vinegar strength became interchangeable.

Capitol Food Company Calcium Sulfate is a compound made of calcium, sulfur, and oxygen. In its purest form, the chemical formula of this compound is CaSO4. This fine, white to slightly yellow-white odorless powder is mainly used as a food additive and preservative. It is widely used to manufacture calcium tablets or supplements.

Capitol Food Company Yeast Food is a mixture of several nutrients required for the growth of yeast in the fermentation process. Yeast or Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a single-celled microorganism that needs food, warmth, and moisture to thrive. Through the process of fermentation, it converts sugars into carbon dioxide and alcohol, and these two byproducts make yeast extremely useful in food production.

Capitol Food Company Maltodextrin is a white powder made from corn, rice, potato starch, or wheat. It is produced by cooking the starches first, followed by the addition of acids or enzymes such as heat-stable bacterial alpha-amylase to break them down further to obtain maltodextrin. This highly processed plant product is easily digestible, rapidly absorbed as glucose, and may either be moderately sweet or almost flavorless.

Capitol Food Company Calcium Propionate is an organic salt that helps preserve food by interfering with the ability of microorganisms, such as molds and bacteria, to reproduce. It is used as a preservative in bread and other baked goods, and it may be combined with propionic acid and sodium propionate.

Capitol Food Company Yeast Active is a type of dry yeast that’s granular, with a consistency similar to cornmeal. It provides ultimate baking activity in all yeast doughs, from low sugar to highly sweetened bread. These single-celled microorganisms that belong to the fungi kingdom are living organisms that are dormant until proofed or dissolved in a small amount of lukewarm water (about 110°F). It’s then added to the rest of the ingredients, which causes the dough to rise.

Capitol Food Company Soy Protein Isolate is rich in protein (23g per ounce, or 90% protein) and phosphorus and is a good source of isoflavones. It is mainly used to improve the texture of meat products, but it can also be used to increase protein content, enhance moisture retention, and act as an emulsifier.

Capitol Food Company Invert Sugar is also called invert syrup. It is an edible mixture of two simple sugars, such as glucose and fructose, and is made by heating sucrose (table sugar) with water. It is thought to be sweeter than table sugar, and the foods that contain it retain moisture better and crystallize less easily.

It is obtained by "washing" the wheat grain to remove the bran and germ of the wheat grain. This product is commonly used as a texturizer or thickener.

Capitol Food Company Yellow Corn Bran (Coarse) is obtained by removing the bran from cleaned yellow corn and grinding it through a US 20 screen. This product is a low-fat, low-cost alternative to other bran products. It is a high-fiber corn bran that can be used to increase dietary fiber in mixes, breads, cereals, snack foods, dietary foods, and geriatric foods.

Capitol Food Company Evaporated Food Grade Salt is a high-purity salt used in food processing and for human consumption. It has a minimum of 99.9% NaCl and contains virtually no insolubles. This product is SQF-certified, high-quality, and cost-effective.

Capitol Food Company Potato Starch is extracted from the cells of the root tubers of the potato plant, which contain starch grains called leucoplasts. To extract this starch, the potatoes are crushed, following which the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then washed out and dried to powder. This product often appears in gluten-free recipes as a thickener instead of flour.

Capitol Food Company Apple Cider Vinegar is made from fermented apple juice. The process begins by crushing apples, then squeezing out the juice. Bacteria and yeast are added to this liquid to start the alcoholic fermentation process, which converts the sugars to alcohol. In a second fermentation step, the alcohol is converted into vinegar by acetic acid-forming bacteria. Acetic acid and malic acid combine to give this vinegar its sour taste. This product is used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, food preservatives, and chutneys.

Capitol Food Company Cracked Rye is the rye equivalent of cracked wheat or steel-cut oats. To obtain this product, the whole kernel (the rye berry) is cracked or cut into a few pieces that are quicker to cook than the completely intact rye berry. Rye is a grass grown extensively as a grain, a cover crop, and a forage crop. As a member of the wheat tribe, it is closely related to barley and wheat.
