Sherbet

Today in our Science Talent Development, we were doing some baking. We made bread, sherbet and hokey pokey. Some of the chemical reactions we were looking at was what the baking soda did to the hokey pokey. The baking soda made it rise. In the bread we put yeast in which made the bread rise as well. These two ingredients are called Rising Agents. Just before we started making the sherbet we had to taste all the ingredients that were going to go into it:
Icing Sugar
Raro
Baking Soda
Tartaric Acid (TA)
Citric Acid (CA)
Then we wrote down what they tasted like. The one with the best taste was the icing sugar and raro. Then there were the two sour ones, the Tartaric Acid and the Citric Acid. The one that tasted the worst was the Baking Soda! Disgusting!
